The biggest “Thank You” to Peter Mitsaelides, Director of Catering at our Wedding Venue, The Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, NJ, who produced our Perfect Wedding! During the several months of intricate planning, Peter’s frequent saying...

He never said No, that’s impossible to us to any request and saw that our vision and wishes were carried out perfectly. Our guests have not stopped raving about the wonderful food, but also the incredible service, attentive, friendly staff and attention to detail that served everyone’s needs. In the end, we come away with many wonderful memories, a professional association, friendship and thrilled to be part of The Brooklake Wedding Family!

The venue itself is stunning and elegant, the view over the lake and golf course is beautiful. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, and our guests can't stop raving about it! The whole staff was so accommodating, especially when we had to move our ceremony indoors. The bridal suite was so comfortable, large enough for 9 of us getting ready. The spread for breakfast and lunch was delicious and plentiful. The staff was so good with dietary restrictions, making sure there were gluten free options at our cocktail hour. Our bridal attendant, Michelle, stayed with us the whole day, making sure we were eating and drinking water. She was always knew what we needed at every moment. I could go on and on and I could never say enough about how fantastic Brooklake is! We wish we could relive our day over and over again!

He is absolutely amazing and wants to see every bride and groom have the best day. Peter's attention to detail is impeccable. He is truly a family man and makes you feel like family at Brooklake Country Club. Brooklake was recently renovated and the atmosphere is so classy and sophisticated. The staff are friendly, know how to treat guests, and make sure everything is run smoothly. The day of our wedding, even though I had been to Brooklake a dozen times, everything set up for my day truly took my breath away! (there is only one event at a time which is a huge bonus!) It was beyond beautiful and Peter took care of everything I wanted. I could never thank him enough! From every email I sent him, he was always quick to respond and was always helpful. If I wanted to add/change/move/fix something, he never made it an issue, always said okay! Our reception was so much fun, I have guests telling me every time I see them how amazing all of the food was and I still have guests telling me the cocktail hour was the BEST they ever saw and tasted! Our guests could not get over how much food there was. The bridal attendant that was with me all day did not leave my side. She was AMAZING. Anything I needed, she was there. There is truly not a better venue than Brooklake Country Club. We cannot thank Peter enough!

I couldn't recommend this venue more for your wedding. We, like many other 2020 Brooklake weddings, had to postpone until this year. Peter could not have been more helpful during that time. He provided new dates and honored our 2020 contract. ...
He was so extremely helpful during that time and most importantly, beyond accommodating to ensure that we would have the day we always wanted. (I had many friends that needed to reschedule due to covid and Brooklake was by far the most understanding and most accommodating) Best in class. The venue is absolutely beautiful and were lucky the weather was warm so we got to enjoy the patio on our new date 10-15-21. The food was excellent, we were told numerous times by our guest that it was the best cocktail hour they had ever been to! The staff was so beyond helpful while we took pictures on the property/golf course before the church. They continuously asked if we needed anything which was a really helpful and kind gesture (this has not been the case to other weddings I have been apart of) Everything was best in class. The staff was SOO helpful, friendly and professional. Adriana, our bridal attendant, was AMAZING and she was always there to get us what we needed. She even last second sewed a button back onto my husbands tuxedo. The staff had incredible attention to detail and look no farther than Peter and the Brooklake to host your special day. I am forever grateful!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Peter. He is as professional as they come, and I was comfortable every step of the process knowing our wedding was trusted to Peter. Throughout our wedding day, Adriana would magically appear with anything we happened to need before we could even ask for it. She was so attentive, and I knew I had nothing extra to worry about on my wedding night because of her. The grounds are beautiful and our pictures came out great, our guests were blown away by the quality and sheer amount of food they got, and we (the bride and groom) could not have asked for a better night or planning experience with Brooklake. When wedding planning, Brooklake was our first venue we looked at, of probably about 10 places. We had heard so many great things about Brooklake from past couples, but I knew for myself that I was in good hands from the moment I stepped in to tour the venue. The other places we toured after just couldn't compare, and we're so happy that we chose Brooklake for our special day.

Cocktail hour has food for days with plenty of seating for everyone. Dinner was fantastic, and each table got their own server that regularly would refill any drinks you needed. There were never any waits at the bars, even with our guest count of 250. The grounds and golf course are beautiful with plenty of great photo opportunities for you and guests. Peter the catering director is one of the most caring and accommodating people we have ever worked with, and would do another event here at our next opportunity.

tering, Peter Mitsaelides, who was responded promptly to our many requests and kept us informed of developments. Peter was highly organized, calm and reassuring during the entire process from booking through the conclusion of the event. The facilities are beautiful both indoors and out. The wedding was held under the tent on the patio (with over 200 guests), and guests had the option to return there during the reception if they wished. The grounds provide several good spots for photos with beautiful backdrops. There are bridal and groom suites, and there is also a room off the cocktail party room where the bridal party could gather after the ceremony. The food was outstanding, and the chef is able to create dishes from varied cuisines. We also hired an outside caterer to provide Indian food in addition to the food that was prepared in Brooklake's kitchen. We found that Brooklake was one of only a few venues in the area that would permit this. They are clearly accustomed to hosting Indian events (ours was mixed) and following the Indian traditions. Peter was visible before, during and after the ceremony and reception and ready to help with every request. We left some decorations and possessions behind, and when we went to pick them up the next day, they were intact, organized and on a cart, ready for us to take to our car. I want to recognize Bea, who looked after the bride and groom and close family members during the cocktail hour and reception, making sure that we were well-supplied with food and drink.

of experience. We were supposed to be married in June of 2020 but due to the pandemic we made the decision to move it one year out. As stressful as this was Peter was extremely accommodating and responsive when it came to making the decision to move the date. I have heard so many horror stories from other couples with moving weddings and I am so happy we choose Brooklake. When we visited the country club in 2019 it was in the middle of an extensive renovation and that was a big selling point for us. Every surface of the interior of the building has been refreshed to the utmost quality. Not only is the inside of the building gorgeous but the outdoors have breathtaking views, beautiful landscaping and a massive patio overlooking the golf course and fountains. Everything about the venue is 1st class. We held our ceremony on the patio and it was beautiful with the white chairs theater seating setup. The surrounding views are beautiful and when the ceremony is over your guests go right into the cocktail room that extends onto the patio. My guests are still raving about the cocktail hour how it was the best they have ever been too and how outstanding the food and service was. The bar is huge and well staff and there is plenty of room for a large wedding. The options are extensive and the quality of the food is second to none. I highly recommend the raw seafood station as that was the biggest hit with our guests. The reception room is spectacular, not overly decorated just simple with multiple lighting options. The dinner is fabulous with plenty of options to choose from. The space can comfortably host a large amount of people while letting guests enjoy the patio and cocktail room as well. I cant say enough good things about Brooklake the venue but more importantly it is the staff that make it all the more special. It is a pleasure to work with Peter, he is extremely meticulous and detail oriented and does not miss anything! He oversees the event and makes sure everything goes smooth. One of my groomsman has already booked his wedding at Brooklake and I will highly recommend Brooklake to my friends and family for future events.

When our day finally arrived, Brooklake allowed us to make the decision to move the reception inside on the day of the event due to the weather. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing! Our bridal attendant made sure that we had everything we needed the day of the event. Brooklake is an amazing venue and we would highly recommend it!

I N C R E D I B L E ! My now wife and I found Brooklake Country Club after having lost an unimaginable amount of money at another venue in Morris County. We wanted to be sure that if we threw our wedding that it would be safe for our guests ...
and unfortunately our prior venue could not accommodate our number of guests outdoors. We were experiencing every type of emotion and couldn't understand how we could possibly be taken for such a ride and hesitant to ever deal with another venue again. Nonetheless we wanted to get married with a reduced number of guests given the pandemic and Peter greeted us with nothing but patience, understanding, and love. We couldn't have felt like family more and Peter quickly answered "yes" to almost all of our requests and was extremely honest in all regards. There was absolutely no pressure in any part of the process. Peter rebuilt our faith in good people in this business and I wish him continued business and success. Peter never made hard deadlines for payments or contracts and did his very best to work with us in every aspect. We consider Peter family and will always look to Brooklake to hold our future events. Peter and his team ensured all of our guests were distanced and safe throughout our event and the facility was absolutely gorgeous. If you chose to have your event here, expect accommodations, service, and comfort to be above and beyond anything you can fathom. A++ 10/10 would absolutely recommend working with Peter and Brooklake Country Club!

We are giving the Brooklake 4 stars instead of 5 due to the fact that our contract stated we would have Filet Mignon offered as a main course option, but at the reception, our guests were given Prime Rib as the beef option (which all guests raved was absolutely excellent, but still). We also were told there would be a specific type of well regarded Rose wine available at the indoor bars during the reception, however, I was disappointed that Red Zinfandel was the sub par substitute.

We booked a tour at Brooklake after my husband attended a wedding there and remembered they had an excellent cocktail hour. We decided to book it after we met Peter and toured the venue and realized that it felt the most like us - cozy, comfort...
able, but large and nice. It also has a huge dance floor, which was very important to us. From the day we booked until the last guest left on our wedding night, the entire staff at Brooklake were incredibly helpful and seemed genuinely happy to be a part of our wedding. My bridal attendant Edith was AMAZINGLY helpful and showed up at 9:30AM with me, and stayed until I left around 1AM. She was even down on the floor with my bridesmaids helping to clean my wedding dress when someone spilled red wine on it (it all worked out fine!). Peter was helpful throughout the entire wedding process and answered all of the questions we had. We did have some concerns about the overall timeline of our reception that was presented to us however Peter was very reassuring. We put our complete confidence in him and the Maitre d and everything went absolutely perfectly. We could not have asked for more. Our guests were raving about the food, our bartenders, and everything was absolutely beautiful. Thank you Brooklake!!

They were not familiar with the Jersey wedding tradition of lavish cocktail hours, and they were flabbergasted that the cocktail hour food was not even the main course! All of our guests were incredibly impressed with everything about Brooklake. Peter, Carol, and the rest of the BCC team made our wedding more than we could have ever imagined it to be. They were very accommodating the year of our engagement, answering any and all questions we had and meeting with us when my husband's parents were in town. We absolutely cannot recommend BCC enough!

Looking for a venue for a small wedding for a Saturday in New Jersey is very challenging. We found our options to be so limited and were beginning to feel discouraged. That soon changed after I called Brooklake Country Club to find out if there...
was a minimum guest requirement and I was told that in addition to their ballroom, they had their Waterfords room that was open to the public for events the first weekend of every month. We scheduled an appointment and it was love at first sight all over again. The grounds and building are so beautiful and well-kept and the staff is amazing. Its actually hard for me to put into words how incredibly happy I was to have my wedding here, but I can tell you that from beginning to end, I had the best experience and even with a small wedding (70 guests) I was given as much attention and appreciation as if I were hosting a 250+ person wedding that so many of these other venues wanted from me. In many of these reviews you’ll find the name Peter mentioned and I must say that none of these reviews, not even my own, will be able to truly describe how wonderful this man is. He is so knowledgeable, patient, kind and clearly loves what he does. He helped us plan our reception exactly as we had hoped it to be and he and his team executed flawlessly. He was responsive and honest and made us feel so important even when we knew he was busy. You can put every ounce of trust you have into Peter, he will create your dream wedding. Peter works with a wonderful staff that provides exceptional service. Nelly was our bridal attendant and Natasha our captain, and from beginning to end they were incredible. I didn’t even need to ask Nelly for a thing, it’s like she read my mind the entire night; everywhere I turned, there she was ready and willing. Natasha managed the entire evening very professionally and efficiently, she was always close by in case we needed anything. It’s obvious that each employee takes service very seriously. The food and drinks were incredible. We expected no less, but after our tasting we could not wait for the wedding day. Every bite from cocktail hour to dinner was delicious and there was more than enough for everyone, no matter their food preference. Every guest raved about the food and no one left hungry. Needless to say, I highly recommend Brooklake for a wedding or special event. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Peter and team for all of your hard work and making our wedding day so memorable!

feat! From there he was incredibly organized and detail oriented, providing us with all the information we needed and keeping us on schedule. He also always made sure to answer all our questions and offer suggestions as we completed planning on our end. He also made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with, with his full attention. Hearing from other brides dealing with other venues, I am so appreciative of the experience we had with Peter! Closer to the wedding, he helped us craft the cocktail hour and reception menus and schedules exactly as we wanted them, offering his suggestions which were spot on. When it came to the actual day, the staff at Brooklake executed perfectly! The room was decorated beautifully and they had displayed our items we had brought exactly as we had discussed. The vendors (cake, DJ, florist, photographer) had no issues setting up on time. The service we received was impeccable -- both from Bea our attendant, and also from the rest of the staff for all of our guests. As bride and groom, Bea made sure we were well taken care of and brought everything we needed - food, drinks, and she even gave us cake and dessert to-go so we could enjoy it later on! We still have guests raving about our wedding months later - from the cocktail hour, to the food, to the view, to the fact that the bartender already had their drink ready as they approached. It’s easy to think that your wedding was the best, but it’s really special when people go out of their way to tell you yours was the best wedding they had ever been to. Peter and his team created a truly magical evening for us and our guests, and I don’t think any of us will ever forget it!

Where to begin with BCC! We got married in November 2016 and it was an absolute dream. From beginning to end, Peter and his team were kind and professional and so helpful. By the end of the process, Peter truly felt like a member of our family....
First of all, you can not beat the gorgeous setting of the golf course and the grounds, no matter what season. The huge old tree at the entrance made for beautiful, special photos. Being from an Italian family, my parents were pretty picky about having good food. BCC did not disappoint in this area. There is no place in the area that does cocktail hour like Brooklake. There are so many options to choose from and you get a lot of stations in the basic package. We added the seafood option and it really made the cocktail hour that much more spectacular. Again, working with Peter was awesome, and you never feel pressured to do anything more than you want. The dinner was excellent with a lot of options to choose from. We also did the Viennese table, which was not a table... it was a ROOM. It was absolutely outrageous and amazing. People are still telling us they could not believe how awesome the food was, and that there was so much they barely got to every station. The day of the wedding, the ballroom looked beautiful. Everyone from the bridal attendant, the maitre d, to the servers and bar tenders were so attentive to our every need. We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Brooklake, are so grateful for Peter's help in the process. We hope to attend someone else's wedding there so we can go back!

My husband and I would look forward to meetings with Peter because he is just such a wonderful person. We both said it wasn't the place that sold us, it was Peter! Do not get me wrong- the place is absolutely beautiful! It is the most picturesque ride up to the club, with trees adorning the road and as you get closer the lights are twinkling with lights. The lobby is elegant and rich, yet warming. The cocktail hour room is spacious and full of windows, with a beautiful large bar. The ballroom continues with the large windows. Chiavari chairs accompany the tables. There is pin spotting lights for each table, which I just love because it brings drama in a sophisticated way. The above the dance floor the ceiling is higher, with soft LED lights around it and a gorgeous chandelier. The unbelievable views from the window are accessible through exits in the ballroom. The outside area has plenty of seating, but not too much where you can miss half your party. There is a gazebo with a fire pit, which was loved by all guests. We received countless raves on the delicious food. We had a full cocktail hour with the large seafood display, the Tuscany display , pasta stations, craving stations, passed hors d'oeuvres, etc. Our dinner included a salad and guests had a choice of filet mignon, snapper, chicken, or a lentil eggplant dish. I am not being bias here; it was the best piece of filet I ever had at a wedding. The bar was busy all night with our large party and the bartenders were on point! The Venetian hour was heavenly! It included every dessert you can think of and more- pies, cake, pastries, cookies, chocolate fountains, fruit, international coffee bar, and on and on. I am so happy we went with Brooklake.

Food: We were so amazed at the complexity of the choices for food throughout the entire affair. There are so many options to choose from, and was a selling point for us. In addition to the at least 13 different types of pass-arounds during cocktail hour, there was such a variety of options for chafing and action stations. People still can't stop talking about our cocktail hour. Not only about the ABUNDANCE of food, but also the quality. The lamb chops were simply some of the best I've ever had. All of the dinner options were fantastic, and when we walked around to greet our guests, all we saw were empty plates (despite who full everyone was after cocktail hour). Atmosphere: We were able to choose different lighting options to set the mood for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Being that we had a fairly large wedding, we wanted to make sure that there was space for everyone during each aspect of our wedding. The cocktail hour space is large with plenty of tables for people to nibble. The grounds are breathtaking, and the dance floor was able to hold (for the most part) our very rowdy party. The wedding attendants catered to our every need while we got ready, and during the wedding itself. Shout out to Bea for making sure we ate and relaxed a bit.

(Something I didn't think would be possible!) Thank you to Peter and the entire staff at Brooklake Country Club for the most amazing wedding reception, it was a night we will always cherish!

Brooklake Country Club is absolutely amazing - from the staff, to the food, to the service and lastly the gorgeous views of the golf course. We could not recommend anything else - absolutely exceptional. We worked with Peter who was literally a...
t our beck and call throughout the entire process. His entire staff worked so hard to make our day seamless and memorable. We'd like to give special thanks to Bea who did such an amazing job making sure we had everything we could possibly need on the day of - she was a 2nd mother to the entire bridal party. Our guests raved about the venue and the food was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to have another event there just to have the chance to work with these great people. HIGHLY recommend!

I couldn't be happier to have selected Brooklake Country Club for our wedding! From the first time we met Peter and toured the facility we knew it would be the place for our wedding! We were treated like family every time we visited and felt...
at ease with putting our event in their hands. Peter made sure that everything was absolutely perfect throughout the planning experience and on the day of the event him and his staff took care of every single little detail - I didn't have to worry at all!! The service they provide is beyond 5 stars - our guest haven't stopped raving about the service, food, venue, etc. Many have told us it's the best wedding they have ever attended. If I did it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to select BCC and will certainly use them to host other events in the future! Thank you to Peter and the entire BCC team for making my wedding the most amazing and memorable event!

The best decision my husband and I made during wedding planning was choosing Brooklake Country Club as our venue. Everything was absolutely perfect! Going into our wedding day, we knew that BCC was going to do a wonderful job with our receptio...
n, but they somehow exceeded our already high expectations – which we didn’t think was possible. Peter was absolutely amazing from the moment we met him until our wedding day. He made the process very simple and stress-free. He truly cares about making your wedding day perfect. Every time my husband and I met with Peter, we loved him more and more. Maury was our maître d the day of the wedding and he also did an excellent job. My brother-in-law created a photomontage to be played at our reception. When he couldn’t get the projector to cooperate, Maury was right there to help him and they were able to get everything running smoothly. We also had Bea as our bridal assistant, and she made sure my husband and our families/bridal party ate throughout the reception and got us anything we needed throughout the night. Peter, Maury, Bea and the entire staff at Brooklake really take great pride in the receptions they run and they went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was special. To be able to truthfully say that there was not one thing that went wrong, not one tiny hiccup, during our reception really speaks volumes to the type of service at Brooklake. BCC is a beautiful venue for your wedding. The grounds are meticulous, the food is delicious, and the service is incomparable. We are still getting compliments about how wonderful our wedding day was! We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue!
