Waterloo Village:

This restored 19th-century canal town in Sussex County is “a treasured time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty.” Hold your event by the water or join history as you walk down the aisle in the historic working church, as brides have at Waterloo Village for more than a century. Other ceremony options include a Secret Garden, Mule Barn, Pavilion or Gazebo with optional alpaca attendance for photos and cocktail hour.

Smooth Sailing Celebrations:

Hosting your event in a waterfront space is always beautiful, but what about hosting your event on the water? Aboard a Smooth Sailing Celebrations yacht, you can celebrate “in the ultimate setting of a luxury yacht—smoothly sailing down the Hudson—and the romance of being on the glistening water—slowly passing by the spectacular New York City skyline.”

Molly Pitcher Inn:

This spacious and inviting historic inn is on the banks of Monmouth County’s Navesink River, which means gorgeous water views and a marina. The luxurious Molly Pitcher Inn is a waterfront wedding venue where you can enjoy a cocktail reception on our veranda overlooking the Navesink River. And then dance the night away in its stunning ballroom with striking waterfront views.
