I’ve been photographing weddings for over a decade all over New Jersey and I’ve been to SO many wedding venues! I’ve compiled a list of my favorite Top 10 Wedding Venues in NJ based on a few factors. I wanted to include venues on this list that obviously have a WOW factor, but also venues that have beautiful locations for photos onsite as well. There are so many beautiful venues in New Jersey, so this list was a little hard to compile, but without further ado, here they are in no particular order:
Top 10 Wedding Venues in NJ
The Ryland Inn
I could probably share 500+ images from this venue because I’ve been here so many times! I love that at The Ryland Inn, both the Coach House and Grand Ballroom have stunning ceremony and reception spaces as well as well as ample opportunities for photos onsite and you can even rent beautiful horses for portraits!
Park Chateau
Besides the WOW factor when you pull onto the property of the Park Chateau, the Chapel is absolutely stunning and a favorite of mine for having a traditional feel for your ceremony.
Mallard Island Yacht Club
Mallard Island has it all in one spot. A stunning ceremony space, ample waterfront photo opportunities, a gorgeous landscaped property that makes you feel like you are in the Hamptons without leaving NJ!
The Ashford Estate
This venue has the wow factor from the second you drive thru the large gates down the long tree lined drive up to the Estate. With the gorgeous ceremony space to your right and breathtaking estate on your left, it’s hard no to love the Ashford Estate. Ample photo opportunities and a covered ceremony space make this an ideal location for a wedding any time of year!
The Hamilton Manor
The Hamilton Manor is perfect for brides wanting a touch of rustic vibes, but all the luxuries of a grand ballroom reception. There are many photo opportunities on site, I tend to focus on the gorgeous barn and rustic elements as backdrops and I love their string lights along the back of the barn, especially for nighttime reception photos!
Eagle Oaks Country Club
Eagle Oaks has such a beautiful property and their new Glass Conservatory is beyond gorgeous for a wedding ceremony!
The Bradford Estate
If you are looking for convenience for your big day, the Bradford Estate is a venue that has it all! With beautiful bridal suites for both the bride AND groom, a gorgeous ceremony spot and reception ballroom, the Bradford Estate is a great option to check out.
Skylands Manor
The Skylands Manor is a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos! The ceremony space is so peaceful and you truly feel the privacy of being surrounded by nature.
Hotel LBI
You can’t miss HOTEL LBI, it’s literally the first thing you see coming over the bridge onto LBI! I love their rooftop deck for sunset photos and I have a few favorite spots very close by that I’ve scouted out that are so pretty for wedding portraits!
Liberty House
Liberty house has the most incredible views of the NYC skyline. An absolutely breathtaking location for both your ceremony and reception!
