If you're a New Jersey resident and you've been on the hunt for a venue, it would be shocking if the discussion of a barn wedding venue in NJ didn't come up in conversation between you and your future spouse. Why? New Jersey is known for its beautiful farm landscapes, so it's no wonder it's also home to some of the best barn venues (it's called the Garden State for a reason!).
Barns are an ideal spot for weddings and receptions—not only do they typically provide incredibly expansive spaces for your event, but they also provide a feeling of coziness that just can't be beaten. When looking for a rustic barn venue, it's important to note that some aspects of the venue may be different from your typical reception venue—climate control, bathroom facilities, and more. So, it's important to know what your priorities are before committing to the venue.
