WOW, what a night. There are truly no words to describe how incredible our wedding was this weekend (10.11.25). Your team has been an absolute joy to work with ever since our very first tour with Katherine in Spring 2024 (and my phone call with Danielle during that wild NJ earthquake!!). The venue (and every corner of it!) is spectacularly beautiful, and the hospitality and service from every single person were beyond extraordinary. As a family-owned venue, we immediately felt at home, like we were part of your family too. From the coordination and organization of every detail, big and small, to the care and creativity that went into the floral planning and design, to your flexibility and patience with our last-minute questions and changes, every part of the experience was seamless. And the ultimate execution: the food, service, flowers, ceremony, reception, and the flow of the entire day and night, it could not have been more perfect!! The feedback from our guests has been unanimously glowing. So many people have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and everyone was in absolute awe of the beauty and magic of Crossed Keys Estate, just like we were. It was truly the best day and night of our lives, and it’s all thanks to you and your incredible team. Choosing Crossed Keys was hands down the best decision we made, we only wish we could do it all over again! With love and endless gratitude!

Waterloo Village 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
Stanhope, NJ
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $19,000

Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty. With its rich history, Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for weddings. Boasting two spectacular indoor event spaces—the newly-renovated meeting house and the rustic pavilion—in addition to its spacious outdoor compound, Waterloo has the resources and ambiance to make your special occasion a memorable success. As a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-Century canal town and the site of a 400-year-old Lenape Indian village, Waterloo Village is an incredibly valuable piece of New Jersey history. Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs to teach and inform visitors about the past. When you choose Waterloo Village as the setting for your event, a portion of proceeds will go towards the preservation and restoration of the site.

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

Located in Sparta, New Jersey, just 50 miles outside of New York City, Lake Mohawk is a private lake community that features magnificent homes, a Swiss Alpine styled village square, and an idealistic boardwalk that leads to a chalet–styled country club, beaches, and parks.

If you would prefer, you can also exchange vows on our boardwalk, adorned with rustic lanterns and seasonal flowers. For winter weddings, we offer ceremonies in our spacious Grand Ballroom, with Palladian windows overlooking the magnificent Lake Mohawk. We invite you to come visit Lake Mohawk Country Club, and see for yourself the irresistible romantic charm.

Lake Mohawk Country Club was a fantastic venue for our wedding. Their communication style was very flexible - they were happy to chat with us over email or get on a call whenever we had questions. The space itself is absolutely stunning, and the entire team, especially Karen and Blake, were great to work with throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond, unpacking all of our wedding decor and setting it up perfectly. The food was also delicious! If I had to say one negative thing (just so you know this is real.) ... was the cost of the bridal suite and the den, which felt a bit high. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Lake Mohawk Country Club and would highly recommend them to any couples looking for a beautiful wedding venue.

We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Rutherfurd Hall earlier this year, and we can't speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking—elegantly designed with gorgeous views, and it has an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and intimate. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Especially when we had a lot of challenges finding a venue for an Indian wedding to fit all your needs! A huge part of what made our day so unforgettable was the incredible service provided by the Director, Nick Serraino. From our very first meeting, Nick went above and beyond to ensure all your requests were accepted. He was incredibly kind, and always available to answer questions (which we had many of) or offer help! His professionalism and warm personality made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. We can’t thank him and his team enough! If you’re looking for a venue that not only offers stunning surroundings but also a team that genuinely goes the extra mile to make your day perfect, look no further than Rutherfurd Hall. Our wedding is always a topic of fond memories at all other family gatherings! We will forever be grateful for the incredible experience and the kindness of Nick!
