Anthony Wayne House

ey couldn't be more right about that! The set up feels so private and magical. We also couldn't be happier with AWH's contract with JAM Catering - the food far surpasses the quality of most wedding food! Highly recommend.

autiful pictures and positive reviews from past weddings. After visiting the venue last fall and working with the AWH team on my wedding day logistics since then, I feel even more sure! The grounds are beautiful, and the JAM catering team has crafted menus and packages that are both affordable and luxurious. These pros know what they're doing, and it puts my mind at ease! Highly recommend. 10/29/23 Addition: When I wrote my initial review, I was still in the planning process of my wedding. Now, being married and done with planning, I just wanted to add that my wedding at the Anthony Wayne House was a dream as I thought it would be. The venue team helped make sure my day went off without a hitch, even with giant rainclouds threatening to downpour at any second. They helped to navigate that uncertainty with confidence and good judgement, and overall made my day an incredible success. Beautiful venue, with amazing staff!

have made it seamless. First, Anthony Wayne House is a dream venue and JAM Catering's food is amazing...JAM focuses on farm-to-table and is cooked at the venue site. If you are contemplating on booking your wedding at AWH, I 100% recommend it!

t a few more we always compared them to AWH. The pergola is absolutely dreamy, and the option to have the ceremony in front of the historic stone house was also a bonus. The attention to detail by the staff including planners Heather and Lynn have been top notch. We can't wait for the lawn games, the fire pit, and dancing under the tent!

r our big day. We were able to try the food that we could pick, we had cocktail hour food, different type of stations, entree options, cake, dessert, signature cocktails, etc. It was a great event and the staff were all knowledge and friendly. Highly recommend to work with JAM catering

ur dream menu! They had read all of our notes from our tasting and had great suggestions when we had questions. They also were willing to work with us on some different requests and were so accommodating! We can't wait for May!

joyed themselves and loved the food. Everything from the apps to the desserts were spectacular. Lynn was our coordinator and she made sure everything went to plan and helped us set up all our decor as well as take it down. If you are looking for an unique and beautiful place for your wedding this is it. My husband and I are hoping someone else gets married here so we can actually get to come as a guest and get to enjoy everything to its fullest!! As bride and groom you tend to miss out on all the great things you pick a little lol

nded a wedding at the Anthony Wayne House in 2021 and fell in love with the venue. I knew it was a perfect fit for us. Not to mention the food is incredible!

as a dream. She took all of our ideas and suggestions and gave her helpful input along the way as we planned. Our overall experience has been so enjoyable and we are so thankful.

g married in September and the venue is just everything my fiancée and I have ever dreamed of. we walked in and fell in love instantly and signed the papers!

the food was delicious too!

nformative, and respectful. Extremely experienced staff and provides ALL the information needed upfront. Looking forward to continuing working with the team and celebrating next summer!

ent coordinators have been so communicative, clear, and full of great creative ideas for us! They are also kind enough to give recommendations for photographers, DJs, etc. so make vendor selection easier. We are counting down the da​ys until our wedding and are so excited to celebrate at this gorgeous historical venue!

d to get married as it is so beautiful and unique. Angela was very accommodating during covid and helped us easily postpone our 2020 wedding until 2021. Let me tell you it was worth the wait! The AWH staff went above and beyond to help ensure we had the perfect day. The grounds are so beautiful and the tent itself was breathtaking. I was worried about being cold because it was a chilly November day but Lynn easily switched cocktail hour to be inside with a few outdoor tables the morning of the wedding. The tent was so warm when we all entered for the reception and with the lights and candles it was the romantic vision I had always dreamed of. We also encountered a medical emergency during dinner with our grandfather and the AWH staff were all extremely attentive and 911 was immediately called and he was taken to the hospital. He is okay and was thankfully discharged the next day! Our captain and assistant captain were AMAZING and always made sure my husband and I were taken care of during the reception especially when we were shaken up during the emergency. The bartenders were on point the entire night and the servers were also great, I can't thank every staff member enough! The food was incredible and by far the best we've ever had at a wedding, and many of our guests complimented us on how tasty the food was as well. The day was such a blur and went by so quickly but I am so happy we picked the AWH to host our special day, don't hesitate book them today!

designing out menu. - Staff was detail oriented, communicative, and supportive throughout the process.

o I had attended a wedding at Anthony Wayne House and just knew I had to get married there. The whole property is beautiful and it is set up to really accommodate the guests. Cocktail hour was outside and it was gorgeous. The dance floor is huge and so is the bar. Guest were happy because they loved the food and never had to wait for a drink. JAM catering was amazing. Their food was out of this world! Our favorite hors d’oeuvres were the lamb chops and the scrapple. Angela DiLella helped us with all things wedding planning for Anthony Wayne house. She was so organized and on top of things. I never felt like I had to keep track or remember details or due dates. She was very informative and helped calm my nerves and stress that I would experience around planning. She also provided suggestions for other vendors- which we ended up loving. I would Recommend Anthony Wayne house to anyone that wants a scenic somewhat outdoor wedding. The property is beautiful and the team that works there is so helpful. We had the best wedding ever!!!

are still searching, or stuck between here and somewhere else, look no further!! Pure magic, I will be recommending to everyone and anyone I can.

verything running smoothly the whole time. The food/drink was all delicious - all of our friends and family raved about it. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding!

d the all the staff members made this day extra special. Heather and Dana paid attention to all the details and were very patient and kind. If you have an occasion to celebrate, The Anthony Wayne should be on the top of your list. Bravo!

us setting to the delicious food served by Jeffrey Miller Catering. I’m so grateful for all the work, effort, and detailed planning coordinated by Heather McCarron and the JAM staff. They kept things running smoothly and truly gave us a memorable day and evening. We had perfect weather for the ceremony in front of the pergola followed by hors d’oeuvres and drinks on the lawn. Our guests enjoyed the beautiful evening reception under the tent with all the twinkling lights. It was all we hoped and envisioned it would be. To anyone planning a wedding in the future, I would highly recommend this beautiful venue and catering service! I will certainly be singing their praises for years to come!

ger and the other JAM/Bishop Farmstead staff have gone above and beyond to communicate and take care of every detail to make sure that you, your guests, and the event staff will all be safe during the wedding, no matter what challenges may appear. A wedding is stressful enough! Good to know that we can trust the JAM staff to take the pandemic seriously and ensure the safety of all. They are also very responsive with their emails and keep all couples up to date with the regularly-changing New Jersey Covid protocols and other updates about the venue. I highly recommend this venue! Not to mention the barn and grounds are gorgeous and the food is delish!

hrough the trees and at night with all the lights from the tent and big tree!! Our day-of coordinator was very helpful and made sure that we had all of our decorations ready to go the day of the wedding so we didn’t have to worry about it. All of our friends and family complimented so highly on all of the food!!! JAM catering was so amazing!! All the food and the set up of the cocktail hour was just beautiful. Highly recommend the Anthony Wayne House!!

icance, the natural beauty and the amazing catering by JAM. We had our initial tour in December of 2017 after a huge snow storm - Lynn walked us around and gave us the vision of what it would look like in the early summer. From pictures that I had seen I knew that it was exactly what we were looking for - Lynn even let us know that they had a special where they were giving away a s'mores bar for free with a deposit. We could not say no - after only touring one venue we knew this was the one. Lynn and the rest of the team were extremely helpful throughout our whole wedding planning process. The week before our wedding it had rained like crazy which meant there more bugs out than usual - the team was on it! They sprayed the lawn right before the ceremony to help decrease the amount of pests. My husband and I had no worries the day of the wedding - the team over at the Anthony Wayne House ensured our day ran smoothly and kept us on time for all our special moments. My guests were amazed at how beautiful the space was and that there were even free tours of the historic home. If we had to do it again we would choose the Anthony Wayne House over and over! I cannot recommend this venue enough - they made our day truly unforgettable!

the mason jar lights that lined the top of the tent, it had our vibe written all over it. I remember remarking it had an Anthropologie feel to space, with its simplicity but also elegance. Since we booked, I spent the next 11 months dreaming about walking down to the love of my life at pergola in the open backyard with the lush green trees in the background. Unfortunately, the day of it was raining on and off and the ceremony had to be inside. I have to say, I had a specific vision and when your vision is changed in just moments can be really hard(especially for brides who have given so much thought into it). Angela calmly took me into the tent where the ceremony was going to be held and showed me how beautiful it was going to be. I can honestly say, it was the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen. When I walked down the aisle to the love of my life, the rain was coming down on the tent so gently and created a whole different atmosphere. The guests being inside the tent created a more intimate setting. The tent was open so you could still see the lush greenery in the backdrop. The leaves and trees were rustling giving the whole moment something you would see in a movie. Booking AWH was the best decision next to saying yes to my husband! No matter the weather, they will go above and beyond to make you the happiest bride on your wedding day. Thank you to the team at AWH and JAM catering, you guys will always have a special place in my heart!

ith Angela, and were so happy to be matched up with Lynn to plan our day. Lynn was absolutely amazing throughout the planning process - she answered all of our questions and really helped us to understand how the day would come together. Lynn is such a calming force that we never once felt overwhelmed or that we had anything to worry about. We met Cindy and Lindsay the day of and had a blast with them! They helped keep everything moving smoothly. Every time we needed either one of them - and before we even realized it - they were already there to take care of everything! We had the best day due to these four amazing women and are so thankful to them and the rest of the staff! Thank you for everything!

stic elegance that we were looking for! Even though we were there a year in advance, we had to book immediately because there were only a few spots left! The property is truly a dream come true for a wedding venue, with beautiful flowers, trees, and architecture. AWH is one of a kind venue with flexible staff that allow you to create a one of a kind wedding. We enjoyed a delicious tasting and were offered a very helpful day of wedding planner, Lauren! I would highly recommend Angela and the AWH for a wedding venue!

nd the scenes makes sure that you don’t have to worry about anything during your day. Our guests were obsessed with the uniqueness of the space, and I could have never dreamed of a more perfect place to get married. You truly have to see the space to understand how gorgeous it really is.

ned out to be perfect despite the wind. Angela, Lauren (our wedding coordinator), and Cindy were all wonderful and helped our special day to go on seamlessly. We had our ceremony outdoors then transitioned to cocktail hour indoors because it was very windy. Then ended the evening under the stunning tent! I felt like we were well taken care of the entire night. JAM catering also did an amazing job on the food and cake. Our guests loved the cocktail hour and dinner. We were overall VERY pleased with the venue and would recommend it to others!

ering helped to make our day the best one possible. Even though it poured rain just as our ceremony was starting, everything was absolutely beautiful and we wouldn't have changed anything. The food was also absolutely amazing, JAM catering is the best!

the property, Angela greeted us with a warm, welcoming smile. We were able to have a private meeting with her and she answered all of our questions and then gave us a tour. We booked immediately! Aside from the wonderful first impression, AWH offers their couples a wonderful tasting where we were able to sample all of the dishes and deserts and choose our menu that day. We were stuffed by the end--absolutely delicious! We can't wait for our guests to eat the food prepare by JAM. Lastly, our day-of coordinator, Lauren has been absolutely wonderful. She has answered all of our questions, provided suggestions, and has definitely calmed my nerves! Lauren is extremely responsive and has made the wedding process much less hectic. Overall, so far, the AWH has proved to be a dream come true for a beautiful wedding day!

rate the beautiful Fall weather and Autumn trees into our day while still having a rustic feel. This venue was perfect and all our guests raved how authentic and intimate the venue felt. The beautifully lit tree, fire pit and farm-style tables and chairs really gave us the perfect wedding day we wished for.

ew this was the perfect venue as soon as we walked in. The grounds were beautiful, the tent was stunning and the food was fantastic! The one thing you can’t control is the weather and it happened to rain all day and night on our wedding day. That being said the cocktail hour that wa sorigionally supposed to be outside was moved into the house. Our guests loved it, saying that being in a smaller space (vs. the sprawling lawn outside) presented opportunities to start conversations with people that might not have otherwise met. The food was amazing! We served the gazpacho, brisket and salmon with a lemon cake and raspberry filling. The cake being included in the fee was great and another thing we could check off the long list of wedding to-do’s. Overall, I wouldn’t change a thing at The Anthony Wayne House! It was PERFECT!

he was fabulous. We were given the freedom to make our night our own with homemade decor and it was absolute perfection!!! It even poured with rain the entire night but the Jeffrey Miller Catering Staff and the Anthony Wayne House wedding planners made it the most beautiful indoor wedding you could imagine. It was romantic and intimate! Lynn, Angela, and Cindy were such pleasures to work with! The venue was perfect, and I had so many compliments on the delicious food! JAM and AWH really did make wedding planning so much fun for us!! Our wedding was absolutely incredible and it couldn’t have been made possible without the entire staff at JAM and the Anthony Wayne House. Thanks a million!!!

la ceremony space, to the lawn for cocktail hour and then the tent for the reception. Our guests came in and out through out the night to enjoy the fire pit and take photos by the tree lit with twinkle lights. The only negatives I can say about wedding planning were the response time from our coordinator/everyone on the team. E-mails were answered generally 5-7 days after sending them which became frustrating and our walk thru/rehearsal felt unorganized and with our under-prepared coordinator, Lauren. She was lovely, but not as responsive and organized as I needed. The other issue we had was, while the food was very delicious and we received compliments all night, the catering team was unorganized and opened all the stations 20 mins late. No one seemed to notify our guests once the stations were opened and eventually they told our DJ to make an announcement. This ended up resulting in our guests standing in long lines while we sat and ate our food, not ideal. I e-mailed the entire team regarding these issues, but again, no response. All in all, the wedding was beautiful and all our guests raved about the grounds and food. The area is also great for exploring and everyone seemed to have fun getting to know Paoli. I do recommend the Anthony Wayne House as a wedding venue, but suggest discussing your needs and expectations ahead of time to decrease stress later.

mend!

nd was a pleasure to work with. After booking Anthony Wayne house, we were invited to a tasting with JAM caterers. We were able to taste food, desserts and drinks. Everything was wonderful! Lauren is our wedding coordinator as has been very helpful throughout the planning process. We can't wait to celebrate our wedding in October!

verything worked out perfectly. The tent is strong and durable in protecting guests from weather and, though it can accommodate many more guests, did not feel empty with the 130 we hosted. We were happy with the sound system and the warmth of the tent, too. Some guests did complain that part of a connecting walkway from the carriage house into the tent was not protected from rain, so they had to walk through wet gravel to get to the bathrooms. Older guests especially had a hard time with that section. A disappointment for us was that the lights on the larger tree in the yard apparently are not surge protected for weather, so they were not able to turn them on even after the rain stopped. It was a romantic element we looked forward to, so it's too bad that didn't work out. The Anthony Wayne House also requires you to work with an exclusive caterer, Jeffrey Miller Catering, which is a downside. We had significant issues working with that caterer and would not recommend them unless you truly love the venue.

the rustic feel of the farm tables and the outdoor setting! The staff and food from JAM catering were fantastic. Our planner, Barbara Ann, was there for us at every turn and helped to orchestrate the perfect day! My only complaint about JAM catering is that they do solicit reviews for free upgrades at your wedding, so I would disregard any reviewers who haven't had their wedding yet. The actual experience is so great they shouldn't have to solicit reviews!

we highly recommend it! - Plan A and B are gorgeous - whether you are outside getting married or it rains and you have to go indoors, you can't go wrong. We were SO fortunate enough to get married outside; the rain held off literally until we walked into the tent for the reception. But the tent is gorgeous, it has a clear roof, and the "walls" can be moved, making it feel like you're outdoors. The greenery all around the venue is beautiful. The house is really nice, too, where you'd have cocktail hour if it rains. - Food: JAM catering is so delicious. We still have compliments almost 2 months later on the food at the wedding. Just let them do their thing and don't worry about it! - Convenience - the Anthony Wayne House does everything there - JAM handles all the food and even the cake (so good), they have most decorations on site that you could want, their recommended florist (Buttercup) made coordinating decorations and colors with the venue so easy, not to mention their flowers were out of this world. We planned our wedding from 700 miles away and it was EASY. - Service - Angela and Lynn were wonderful to work with and made sure everything we envisioned came to life. - Alcohol - Yes, you have to bring your own alcohol. But this allowed us to have what we wanted. Also, my husband makes beer and my dad makes wine. We were able to have homemade beer and wine, which added such a personal touch to our special day. We couldn't have done that anywhere else. It worked out great.

that were managed and catered by Jeffrey Miller. I looked at pictures of The Anthony Wayne House and fell in love and knew that I had to visit the venue in person. I instantly emailed the venue and received a response from Angela in a matter of minutes and we scheduled a visit for the following day. The venue it's self has so much character and is so well maintained that for us it was impossible to not book immediately. A year later the day of our wedding was here and I didn't think the venue could look any more beautiful than it did the day we visited, but it did, everything came together so perfectly. We got married at the Pergola and it was beautiful with the sun shining through the tree's right around 4:30pm. We had a 12 piece band and we were a little worried throughout the process that our band and guests wouldn't fit in the tent area, but Angela assured my fiancé and I that they would do whatever it takes and everything would work out. Turns out, Angela was right. Our band fit perfectly, we had fourteen beautiful farm tables filled with our family and closest friends. The food was delicious, our cake was beautiful and delicious, staff was great and a day of coordinator is included in the cost of the catering, which was extremely helpful. Cost for catering was reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity of food. Our wedding guests were raving about our cocktail hour and our entrees, Jeffrey Miller has unlimited options it felt like when picking our menu! Overall, the venue is gorgeous, really cleans up nicely, and staff are very nice to work with. One area where I struggled was finding updated pictures of the venue online, I would suggest to Jeffrey Miller or the staff of The Anthony Wayne House to take more picture of all of the gorgeous weddings they host! I stalked all forms of social media and found a lot of pictures from 2014, but nothing from 2016 or 2017, so I will do my best to share my pictures and tag the Anthony Wayne House when I get my pictures back!
