Tie The Knot at One of These 13 Winery Wedding Venues in New Jersey
If you're looking for winery wedding venues in New Jersey where you can say your "I dos", you've landed on the right page. Although New Jersey is home to stunning beaches, gardens and other horticultural splendors, it's also home to many beautiful wineries that can double as a venue for your upcoming celebration of love.
"Vineyards and wineries offer beautiful settings during peak seasons," says New Jersey-based wedding planner Jacequelyn Aleece, owner and founder of The Wedding Plan & Company. "Vineyards and wineries in NJ can be an alternative if traveling to California Wine Country or Italy is not realistic for guests or budget." When looking for winery wedding venues in New Jersey, there are several questions you should ask the wedding and events teams. In addition to finding out about any backup plans the venue has in place if inclement weather were to arise on your big day, Aleece recommends inquiring about the areas that would be available for your event, photo-taking and tours (if your guests would like to explore the grounds). Plus, she emphasizes the importance of inquiring about and scheduling a wine tasting in advance.
