Crossed Keys Estate is a scenic wedding venue situated one hour outside of New York City in Andover, NJ. This lush property is nestled on 30+ acres of gardens, meadows, and old buildings that pay homage to its storied past. The estate house and stone cottage were originally built in the 1790s and now serve as retro backdrops for wedding portraits. Now featuring a new, state-of-the-art farmhouse, this venue perfectly blends quaint historic chairs with modern elegance and convenience. Brand new to the Estate is the Conservatory, a beautiful glass-enclosed building, that hosts the most magical cocktail hour! Crossed Keys Estate hosts weddings for 100 guests or more with a maximum of 275.
At Crossed Keys Estate you and your partner will exchange vows in a beautiful English garden surrounded by stone walls and leafy trees. Other seasonal gardens with hydrangeas and lilacs are also available for your exchange of vows. After tying the knot, you can wander over the verdant lawns to the Conservatory for cocktail hour and then the modern farmhouse for your reception dinner. This breathtaking building features a cavernous interior with vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, exposed beams, and circular chandeliers that glitter from above. In addition, get-ready suites appointed with chic furnishings are provided for preparing with the wedding party.
Crossed Keys Estate is family-owned and operated by the Rodriguez family, who strive to nurture a relaxing and stress-free environment for all couples. Since they purchased the estate in 1999 they have hosted more than 600 weddings on the property. Along with tables, chairs, glassware, china, and décor, rental of the facility also comes with a fire pit, a tree swing, and lawn games. In order to create a comprehensive experience, the venue even offers full-service gourmet catering and in-house floral arrangements from their experienced florist.

My dream wedding became a reality on December 1, 2024 because of Crossed Keys Estate and Crossed Keys Design. Their top tier service, commitment, floral and decor team, coordinators, food service team, and staff made our wedding day absolutely perfect. They were a venue that had floral and decor, food, bar, coordinator, maitre’d, and the best service included in one. I still get emotional thinking about the perfect wedding we had. The whole team was the dream team and it made our wedding process stress-free! Isn’t that what we look for? Look no further and please visit this venue. It was a venue unlike any other. When I first walked into this venue, I knew in my gut that it was the venue that I would tie the knot in. Danielle helped us seal the deal (she was the best to work with) and our coordinator, Traci, made sure the day was everything and more. She made sure she took on all the stress so we didn’t have to. The owner, Katherine, was all hands on deck the day of and was so inviting, warm, and accommodating the whole process, and Jess (our head floral and decor go-to) assured that every detail tied everything together. This venue is more than 5/5 stars. They’re family. And we hope the pictures back up our words. Don’t hesitate to make this venue the place that makes your wedding the best day of your life. Thank you Crossed Keys Estate team. We couldn’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. You will forever be a part of our story. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

Where do we even begin! We had our wedding November 30th, 2024 and had the absolute most perfect special day. We originally toured with Kyle and knew from then this would be our venue. Out of all the venues we toured, he was the most descriptive and passionate, answering any and all questions. From then on, everything was absolutely seamless and easy in every way.
Jessica, who does floral and design…NO WORDS. She is an absolute gem to work with and master of florals. I had a very specific vision with colors and she made our wildest dreams come true. She met with me multiple times to ensure what I envisioned was what I wanted, and answered every single email so fast with my questions/changes/comments.
Katrina was our coordinator through CKE, and was lovely to work with. She was there to answer any and all questions and extremely communicative leading up to wedding day when things can become stressful :) Day of she was also somehow always by our side the second we needed something.
Lastly, the food…guests are still raving about it. It is beyond delicious and there are tons and tons of options to choose from. I have to give a special shoutout to the Lechon station, as people will not stop talking about how unique and amazing it was.
We cannot thank the team at Crossed Keys enough for the dedication and attention to detail they put into making our day perfect. The communication is top notch, the food is beyond amazing, and the florals went beyond our wildest dreams.

Absolutely the best day ever!! We had our wedding at CKE a couple of months ago in July and it was everything we dreamed it would be. Our guests continue to rave about how unique and beautiful our venue was and how amazing the food was! We still talk about how perfect our wedding day was and so much of that we owe to the CKE team. Each member went above and beyond for us from the first tour, to booking our date and all throughout our wedding day. We worked a lot with Jessica and the CKD team and had Katrina as our day of planner. Both women were extremely responsive, helpful, knowledgable and caring. They were available to us for frequent phone calls and emails as if we were the only couple planning our wedding there. We owe how smoothly our day went to the whole CKE team. They are very well run, organized, efficient and most importantly helpful team in making your day everything you want it to be. We cannot recommend CKE as a wedding venue highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create and host the wedding of our dreams!!!

Our wedding day at Crossed Keys was absolutely PERFECT! Every member of the CKE team from planning through the very end of the night was so kind, helpful, and on top of every detail. All of our guests raved about the food, the decor (working with Crossed Keys Designs was a joy and Jessica put together gorgeous florals), and the all around beauty of the venue.
We are gushing over pictures and videos of the day and would do it all over the same again and again! We could not recommend Crossed Keys Estate and their team more highly! <3.

We just got married at CKE on Sunday and it was a DREAM. From 2 years ago touring the venue all the way up to our wedding day the communication has been incredible. The whole team has been so helpful throughout the planning process and our wedding day was nothing short of amazing! They truly made our dreams a reality and we will be forever grateful. Our guests have been raving about the delicious food and how stunning the venue itself is. We highly recommend CKE!🤍

My husband and I got married at the CKE this October 2024. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to their entire team for all of their hard work to make our visions and dreams come to life. Each and every staff member was kind, and helpful. If you had a question you’d get a response promptly and always with a “let’s see what we can do attitude”. Katherine (the owner) made you feel a part of the CKE family and always was looking to make the planning process seamless and easy for us and our family. The CKE floral and design team made our big ideas all come to life- we had a visions of big branching centerpieces with florals tucked in, that Jess and her team absolutely delivered on. On top of that, we asked for an installation over our sweetheart table. Jess and her team have many suggestions and shared they visited Home Depot at least 3 times to see how it would hang, and the final installation beyond exceeded our expectations. The talent and grace their team exudes is what ever bride and groom look for in a team. The planning process was also so seamless due to their amazing coordinator team. We worked with Katrina, the kindest, most professional coordinator we have ever met. Katrina was available at every step of the planning process, providing thoughtful recommendations due to her very obvious experience. Katrina also was there for our wedding day of helping to manage the schedule, set up, constantly checking in, and making sure it all went according to plan (which it did). In addition during the reception Katrina was checking with us throughout the night to see if we wanted to pivot anything or if we needed anything. We are extremely grateful for her support! In addition, Kyle was our maitre d’ for the evening and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He made sure to check in with my husband and I as well as our immediate family members. He was so kind and professional!
Lastly but very importantly- the food and drinks! Most of all of our guests shared that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. It is no small feat cooking for large groups and every aspect of the food from the cocktail hour to the dinner course was absolutely fantastic. These are a few quotes from guests:
- “The food was gourmet.”
- “This is the real deal.”
- “The sushi… Oh, the sushi! So fresh!”
In addition, the bartenders crushed it! Everyone was impressed by the quality of the drinks and we never had a line at the bar- they were fast and catered to our guests.
I would highly recommend the CKE to future couples getting married. The aspect of the family business really shows and ensures you have a tailored experience for your wedding. The entire staff is kind and down to earth- always willing to help. We wish them nothing but the best for their future wedding seasons!

They made us feel supported throughout the planning process and on the big day itself. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful setting and seamless execution of the event.

Getting married at Crossed Keys Estate was a DREAM. The venue is family-owned and run and we knew immediately it was right for us. The venue is stunning, the people are wonderful and they can do just about anything and make it perfect. The florist, Jessica, is in-house and she is incredible! The CKE team worked seamlessly with our amazing vendors, most of which we selected from CKE’s vendor list. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Our guests are still raving about the food, the venue, and the overall beauty of our wedding at Crossed Keys. We had high expectations for our wedding and Crossed Keys far exceeded them!
You will not regret getting married at Crossed Keys Estate. In fact, we urge you to! Thank you, Crossed Keys for the best day of our lives. Our wedding was absolutely perfect – we wouldn’t change a thing.

Crossed Keys Estate truly blew my expectations out of the water in every way, shape, and form. When my husband and I first saw the venue, we fell in love with it and knew right away we had to get married there. We met the owner, Katherine, on one of our tours and just could tell this was such a welcoming place. The whole planning process leading up to the wedding was wonderful between floral/décor meetings with Jessica, payment/logistic questions for Kyle, and day of planning with Katrina. When the wedding day itself rolled around, the weather wasn’t exactly our friend and set the schedule a bit behind, but Katrina and Katherine saw my stress and sprung into action. They quickly helped change the cocktail hour setup to accommodate photos and were there right by our sides asking if we wanted a drink or needed anything. They also worked with us on timing when things were a bit delayed. Then during cocktail hour, Katrina brought food out for my husband and I to make sure we were getting to enjoy it while we took our photos. The whole remainder of the night the team was everywhere, just making sure the whole event was perfect for us. There kindness and concern were more than we could have asked for and we will forever be grateful. Aside from that, CKE is one of the most beautiful venues I’ve laid my eyes on and the whole place looked like it was out of a magazine when the flower team was done. Would recommend any couple to choose CKE as their venue – between the food, the staff, and the beautiful venue, you won’t be disappointed!!

We could not have imagined a more beautiful natural setting on our wedding day than the Crossed Keys Estate. What felt like more of a dream became a timeless reality, and that was in large part to the wonderful venue, and incredible staff. We were thrilled with our experience from the moment we learned about the Crossed Keys Estate.
The venue is both modern and classic. During our venue search, we would only find one or the other. As soon as we stepped into the Crossed Keys Estate, we immediately felt that it was the one. From the natural beauty, to the elegant atmosphere, we could not wait for our wedding day setting. In addition to the natural beauty, the staff was incredible. They were organized, and it shows how important they hold attention to detail. The day was seamless thanks to them.
The food was outstanding. As the couple, they say that you don’t get to eat much on your wedding day. However, my husband and I were able to taste everything offered at the cocktail hour thanks to the staff. While we were pulled away, the staff brought us food to make sure we didn’t miss out on any experience we elected to have.

This is the Father of the Bride writing this review to help any Mom's & Dad's who are considering Crossed Keys Estate as their children's wedding venue.
We looked at many locations in the area, and were not really thrilled with any of them. When we visited Crossed Keys Estate, all of us were immediately in agreement that this would be our location. The venue is so incredibly beautiful, and all of the accommodations for the Bridal parties were fantastic.
From the first day, we were all pleased with the courtesy and professionalism extended to each of us.
This is a family owned facility, and the care and kindness extended to us throughout the process, and especially on our daughter's wedding day, were more than we could ever have hoped for.
Katharine, the owner, and her son Kyle were ever-present, and always willing to go above and beyond anything that needed to be done.
Adapting to the rainy weather and a delayed start were handled so kindly and professionally.
Katrina and Stephanie were extremely helpful and so easy to work with throughout our day.
The food was delicious, especially all of the stations at the cocktail hour.
I would recommend Crossed Keys Estate to any parents and/or Bride & Groom looking for the perfect wedding venue.

I recently had my wedding at Crossed Keys Estate, and I can’t express enough how incredible the experience was. As someone who wasn’t the most detail-oriented bride, I was so grateful for the amazing team that took care of everything. You would never know that I didn’t have much of a “vision.” They truly went above and beyond to ensure my day was perfect.
Kyle was a standout. He managed every detail seamlessly and wore multiple hats, making the entire process effortless for us. My dad still talks about how fantastic Kyle’s service was—he really made everyone feel special.
Katherine was equally wonderful. Her kindness and welcoming demeanor made us feel like part of the Crossed Keys family. From start to finish, the team’s dedication and attention to detail made our day unforgettable. I can’t recommend Crossed Keys Estate highly enough for anyone looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding venue!

Crossed Keys Estate was an absolute DREAM to work with. The venue is family owned and operated, and you can really feel all the love, attention, and care that was put into our wedding and the venue overall.
We first visited Crossed Keys on a cold January afternoon. Funny enough, our car got a flat tire on the way there and we were stranded for 3 hours. You would think that event would ruin our day, but despite that hardship, my husband and I still immediately knew that Crossed Keys Estate was where we wanted to say our I do's.
Working with Katherine, Jessica, Kyle and the rest of the family was beyond special. They answered all my questions, supported all of our ideas, and executed everything flawlessly.
Our family and friends were thoroughly impressed with not only the abundance but the QUALITY of food. Coming from a Filipino background, my family was looking forward to the Lechon station specifically. Not only did they finish ALL of it, they said it was the best lechon they've ever tasted.
The venue alone is absolutely breathtaking, but the decor was beyond my wildest dreams. So much so it brought me to immediate tears when I saw it! Jessica listened and took in all my suggestions, and seamlessly incorporated all of my DIY elements. As someone who is in landscape architecture, and have many friends in architecture and landscape, we got so many compliments on the venue, grounds, and decor.
I could go on and on about how much the people and this place mean to me and my Husband, but I'll end with saying that all our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! We love the Crossed Keys Estate and their team and will continue to sing their praises to anyone and everyone! Do yourself a favor and get married at the best place - The Crossed Keys Estate!

Where to even begin with Crossed Keys…simply perfection. Literally everything, from the first tour of the venue to the last drink of the wedding night, everything was above and beyond. The venue itself is stunning on its own. The grounds are well kept and the facilities are modern yet keep the rustic feel. The first step in our wedding planning process was a floral and decor design meeting. Jessica, the florist was so helpful and could see our vision for decor better than we could. I personally struggle with decorating and aesthetics, but with Jessica’s help our color scheme and vision came to life, and it all looked stunning. The next step was our coordinator call. Traci our coordinator was so professional and helpful. She walked us through the wedding day order of events, answered the millions of questions we had, and most importantly made sure the actual wedding day was completed absolutely perfectly. I especially loved and appreciated that I didn’t have to do anything on the actual wedding day - Traci and the team just took care of it! I was able to feel like a celebrity for a day. It truly was the most perfect day ever. The actual wedding day was so smooth, the ceremony flowed seamlessly into cocktail hour and into reception. All the food was so good! We are still getting compliments on how delicious everything was. At the end of the wedding night, we stayed at the Crossed Keys Inn, which I would recommend to everyone having their wedding at crossed keys. It was clean, quaint, and added to the specialness of the wedding day. The morning after the wedding was so fun sitting in the Inn’s kitchen/dining room area, it felt more like I was sitting in someone’s home which helped give our wedding that intimate feel I was looking for. With the wedding industry, you are plagued by so many choices, and everything about CKE certainly made it the right choice.

It is hard to communicate in one review how unbelievable our experience with Crossed Keys has been. From the first visit, to booking the venue, to the tasting, and finally to the day itself, every part of our experience was positive. You can clearly see how beautiful the grounds, buildings, and environment of Crossed Keys are. You can taste the FANTASTIC food and beverages, but what really stands about about our experience here was the people. The team at Crossed Keys were so helpful in early communication and planning stages, making us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. We could not have asked for more kind, supportive, creative, and genuine people to make our day incredible. Katrina (our coordinator), Stephanie (our bridal attendant), and Kyle ran a FLAWLESS wedding day, making sure we were enjoying every moment. Jess and the design team took my (limited!!) vision for florals and decor and created an unforgettable atmosphere that everyone in our families can't stop talking about. Rosemary (a member of the staff) took very special care of my dad who had been dealing with illness leading up to the wedding.
One review can't sum up the experience we had with Crossed Keys. If you are even considering Crossed Keys for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book it. You will be blown away.

This venue was beyond amazing. I would get married here 100 times if I could. From the beauty of the wedding venue itself - the flowers, the exquisite decorating, the grounds, the farmhouse, conservatory - everything - it was just beyond stunning to look at. The people - it was such a pleasure to work with Kathryn and her team - so professional, warm, kind, creative, helpful and overall just happy. The day of execution was perfect. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about this venue - it was beyond perfect and better than I could have ever imagined. We had a large wedding and were nervous about space but CKE made it work! I can't say enough amazing things about CKE. PERFECT, AMAZING, OUT OF THIS WORLD.

The Crossed Keys Estate is the wedding venue of the century! It is truly the most magical place to get married and start the next adventure in your life. My husband and I look back on our special day with nothing but happy memories that will last us a lifetime. Katherine, Jessica and the whole CKE team made it a dream come true and brought my fairy tale wedding to life. Despite it raining all morning, they were never stressed about the weather and kept a close eye on it. Up until an hour and a half before guests arrived, they were able to make the switch to have it outdoors and create the vision I had always dreamed of. My guests still talk about how incredible the venue, food, drinks and atmosphere was. For us, the cocktail hour food and access to drinks for our guests were essential to ensure they started off the night on a great note--CKE delivered! No one had to wait in a line for drinks, nor food. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious!! Luckily, I know because Katherine made sure to make us a plate of our favorites and take a minute to eat.

Literally the venue of our dreams. Crossed Keys Estate is the most stunning unreal venue - we would pick it over and over again. All of our guests haven’t stopped raving about how beautiful it is and how incredible the food was!!! The team is so hands on and made us feel so amazing and relaxed the day of - I didn’t hire a wedding planner and thought I would be so stressed but our wedding coordinator (shout out to Katrina!) handled it all for us. Also having the florals in-house not only made our lives easier but I’ve never seen such beautiful flowers at a wedding before in my life - Jessica and the floral team took my vision and brought it to life. The only thing we couldn’t control was the weather but our “backup” plan of having the ceremony indoors was beyond stunning and our guests had no idea it was even a 2nd option. Thank you Kyle for managing that (& me lol) so well. We will forever be grateful for this venue and team!!!! If you’re considering CKE as your wedding venue - book it!!!

Crossed Keys is hands down the best wedding venue I have ever been to. Me and my wife got married almost 2 weeks ago and everything was so beautiful. They executed our vision perfectly. They were always on call no matter the time or day. The staff was very professional and very very very welcoming. If we ever do anything again in the marriage world we definitely going back every time and we recommend everybody to get married here!

It’s been about two weeks since I had my wedding at crossed keys and I still can’t get over how absolutely perfect the night was. People are STILL talking about how beautiful the flowers were, how delicious the food was, and how gorgeous the venue is. The attention to detail throughout the entire day and into the evening was incredible. The entire team at crossed keys was so helpful and I trusted them completely to help make my vision come true!!! I’ll be reliving this night for a long time🤍
I seriously cannot recommend crossed keys enough!!!

From the moment we first visited The Crossed Keys Estate, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. As someone who worked in a similar industry for over a decade, I was looking for a particular atmosphere. Every detail, from the meticulously decorated main building to the classic charm of the playhouse, and the beautiful grounds and gardens, exceeded our expectations.
The entire experience was seamless and stress-free. We were able to drop off all our decorations and have them expertly arranged without any issues. The staff and the family running the venue are incredibly kind and professional. The florist’s creations were nothing short of magical—each arrangement was a stunning and perfectly executed my vision.
A standout aspect was the wedding coordinator provided by the venue. She ensured that everything for the day went smoothly and did an amazing job, all while being incredibly sweet and attentive. Her efforts truly made the day effortless and enjoyable.
Additionally, we were delighted to have our own dedicated server who treated us like VIPs. She made sure we never went a moment without a drink or anything we needed, adding a special touch to our experience.
The Catering/Chef was another highlight, receiving countless compliments from our guests. It’s rare for wedding food—often prepared for 150+ people—to be so outstanding, but The Crossed Keys Estate clearly knows how to deliver. I mean it when I saw people are still talking about the food!
The financial manager was also exceptional, being very on top of everything and ensuring we were aware of every detail. There were no surprises or unexpected bills—everything was transparent and handled with integrity.
Every moment of our day was effortless and enjoyable, thanks to the thoughtful attention of the staff. They ensured we didn’t miss out on the cocktail hour while we were doing photos, even bringing us cocktails and appetizers.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed themselves, with many going out of their way to commend the staff. The owners' personal touch and dedication to making our day special were evident throughout, and they truly made our wedding day unforgettable.
Thank you to everyone at The Crossed Keys Estate for making our day so memorable!

My daughter just got married at the Cross Keys Estate in Andover NJ and it was magical! The staff was amazing from the planning to the “day of”, thanks to the coordinator Katrina, Kyle and Katherine. The floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and interior design were all spectacular. Jessica is an artist that brought our vision to life better then we even imagined!
The area to get ready was like a fairytale with more than enough space for a large wedding party to spread out and get ready. The flower garden with stone structure back drop made for an enchanting ceremony. The cocktail space is breathtaking, and the food was like nothing I have ever had at any wedding I’ve been to. All the guests were blown away with the chooses and presentation.
The reception area looked so beautiful, and we used their preferred vendor list for the band (iEntertainment, The Helm) and photographer. Both of which knocked it out of the park. They knew the venue and were so professional.
The most impressive was the food at the reception as well as the wait staff that tended to our every need. At most weddings the cocktail food is always better than the dinner, however this was not the case. The main courses were received by all to be amazing.
Cross Keys Estates has a farmhouse vibe with a special modern elegance.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience getting married at Crossed Keys Estate – from the moment we walked onto the property and met Katherine we were sold. Their professionalism, their kindness, the space, the food – everything about it is top notch and truly the best I’ve experienced in all the weddings I’ve attended as a guest.
There was no moment on wedding day that I had to worry about or handle anything – as a bride, I had truly the most relaxing day with everything taken care of. I was brought beverages, checked on consistently throughout the day – I knew I was in the absolute best hands, and wow was I right.
I’ve only received rave reviews from the guests – this space was one of the only we saw that has a space equally as gorgeous outside and inside (a consideration if you’d like an outdoor ceremony). The florals, the food, the service – everything was TOP NOTCH. You can tell the whole Rodriguez family really loves what they do – do not hesitate to have your wedding at Crossed Keys Estate, you will absolutely not regret a single moment!

The moment we pulled around the corner into Crossed Keys for the first time we were completely awed at the sheer beauty of everything. From the Conservatory to the Farmhouse to the overall scenery and garden, all is meticulously thought out, maintained, and stunningly beautiful. Once we actually got inside we were greeted by Katherine, who gave us a tour and made us feel welcomed.
Our guests raved about the dinner, the cocktail hour, and all of the other food or drink scattered throughout the night. Planning out the food itself was a lot of fun, we were invited to Crossed Keys for a faux-Wedding and got to try the food ahead of time, and also understand the flow and look of the venue as it’s set up for a wedding. Our favorite food to recommend at the cocktail hour was the ceviche station, where guests got their choice of tuna or shrimp in a stemless martini glass, and then a dozen self-serve toppings to go on top, amazing!
The staff at Crossed Keys always made us feel welcome, and were always on the same mission as us, to have a beautiful wedding day which we will remember forever. We hope to have many opportunities to go back in the future as wedding guests, and recommend the venue very highly.

Our wedding at CKE absolutely exceeded our expectations! We were blown away by how organized, accommodating and helpful the entire staff and team at CKE was from start to finish. Not only was the day a dream come true but the planning process was made seamless and stress free working with our dedicated coordinator, Katrina. Katrina helped keep us extremely organized and well informed about every detail and timeline as well as answered every single big and small question we had right away. The team never left us guessing or scrambling, they had an answer for everything! The wedding day itself was spectacular and notably Katherine, Kyle, Katrina, Danielle & team were involved in every minute to help facilitate a smooth and organized day. Our guests are still raving about the food (especially the hors d'oeuvres) and service and were blown away by the venue itself.
Jessica and the flower team did a phenomenal job making our vision come to life with the beautiful flowers and decor. It was picture perfect! Not one detail went unattended to or unnoticed by the team.
The service team was so friendly and helpful, drinks were poured quickly and efficiently - our guests had the most amazing time!
We are beyond grateful to have had our wedding at Crossed Keys and wish we could do it over again and again!

Crossed Keys Estate went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was exactly what we wanted - and more. The staff was generous, accommodating, solutions-focused and totally trustworthy. They followed our vision and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Jessica was the perfect day-of coordinator/leader who made us all feel totally calm and as if every detail was taken care of, and it was! I could not recommend this venue more to all potential couples. You will not be disappointed one bit, I can guarantee it. Plus, the food is the best you'll get at a large-scale venue. Our guests talked about the food for weeks after!

We had our wedding at Crossed Keys Estate at the end of May and it was just as close to perfect as I could have imagined - really in such large part to the helpful and professional staff at Crossed Keys who went above and beyond in multiple areas. For example, we were hoping for an outdoor wedding and the staff held out until the very last minute until unfortunately we had to move the wedding inside due to rain, however the quick turnaround and the absolutely stunning indoor ceremony had our guests thinking that indoors was the plan all along. They also helped us to find solutions to new problems that popped up, like with our wedding favors since we had thrifted champagne glasses, ultimately hand cleaning them at the end so that guests could take ones left behind on the way out. Our wedding coordinator Katrina was the utmost professional, calm and collected in the weeks leading up the wedding, answering all of our questions, and was always at our side day of asking what she could to do make our night even better. We got rave reviews from our families and friends (who are definitely foodies) about the incredible food - both cocktail hour and the dinners which they were served perfectly cooked fish and steak - very impressive for 180 people! Everyone was thoroughly impressed by the gorgeous grounds and stunning spaces as well. The florals from Jessica were out of a fairytale and were exactly as we had always imagined. I would easily recommend Crossed Keys to anyone that wants a special night that is handled with care by professionals who actually care about your day.

We only have amazing things to say about CKE! We both fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked in for our tour in March of 2023. When we first toured, the Conservatory was still being built. We loved being able to watch it come together and transform. The entire CKE family helped us along the way. We both enjoyed the kickoff party in December where we were able to try so much food! Fast forward to our actual wedding day and it was flawless. We had a big wedding and it was important for us that no one felt cramped. Almost 225 people fit very comfortably in the farmhouse and in the ceremony space. Everyone is still saying it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! Between the amazing food, the gardens, and the coolest windows you will ever see, Crossed Keys Estate will not disappoint!

Crossed Keys Estate exceeded all our expectations and more! As a family-owned and operated venue, every aspect, from operations to floral arrangements to food, exudes a heartfelt touch. From the moment we stepped foot inside, we knew it was the one for us, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The food was exquisite, the decor breathtaking, with candlelit ambiance creating a romantic atmosphere that perfectly matched the vision we had in mind. The team at Crossed Keys Estate was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to customize every detail to perfection. Throughout the night, every staff member doted on us, ensuring we felt taken care of at every turn. A special shoutout goes to our wedding coordinator, Kiersten, who was a true godsend. From months before the wedding to the final moments of our special day, she was by our side, answering every question, rallying for us, and ensuring our vision came to life flawlessly. Kiersten's meticulous attention to detail and efficiency ensured that nothing was overlooked; she coordinated everything to perfection, seamlessly following our timeline and making every requested detail a reality. We are forever grateful to the entire team at Crossed Keys Estate for making our dream wedding a reality.

From the very beginning, the experience was nothing short of seamless and delightful, thanks to the exceptional trio - Katherine, Jess, and Kyle - who orchestrated every detail with unparalleled skill and grace.
The team radiated warmth and professionalism from the first moment. Their keen attention to our desires and her commitment to making our vision a reality set the stage for what would become the wedding we wanted. Katherine's unwavering dedication and accommodating nature turned what could have been a stressful planning process into a joyous journey.
Jess, the visionary florist, deserves a standing ovation for bringing our dreams to life in the most exquisite fashion. With an innate ability to understand our vision, Jess curated floral arrangements that were exactly what we wanted. The reception, ceremony, and cocktail hour were adorned with flowers and decor that not only met our expectations but surpassed them.
Kyle, the behind-the-scenes whiz, ensured that every logistical aspect unfolded seamlessly. His organizational prowess and calm demeanor were invaluable, allowing us to savor each moment without the burden of stress. Kyle's commitment to excellence, coupled with a genuine understanding of our needs, was a pillar of support throughout the entire process.
What sets Crossed Keys apart is not just its stunning aesthetics but the team's unwavering commitment to accommodating their clients. The level of understanding and flexibility displayed by Katherine, Jess, and Kyle was nothing short of extraordinary. They navigated through our requests and changes with grace, turning potential challenges into opportunities to enhance our experience.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. From the moment our guests arrived until the last dance, every corner of Crossed Keys radiated a timeless charm that perfectly complemented the significance of the day.
To Katherine, Jess, Kyle, and the entire team at Cross Keys Estate, our deepest gratitude for orchestrating a day that exceeded our wildest dreams. Your collaborative spirit, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to excellence have left an indelible mark on our hearts. If you're seeking a venue where your vision comes to life with a team that feels like family, look no further than the exceptional Crossed Keys. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfection, and it's all thanks to you!!

Everyone I interacted with was so professional, kind, easy to work with, and helpful. I have received so many compliments on the abundant cocktail hour, friendly service, and delicious food.

My husband and I got married at Crossed Keys in October 2023 and it was a dream. The moment I stumbled across CKE online, I knew it was the place we would get married, and it exceeded all expectations. The team has so much pride in the venue and everything from the grounds, to the getting ready areas, to the cocktail and reception areas are all kept meticulously. It is such a beautiful venue. We loved that it is a family owned venue, and the team is so welcoming. The food was so delicious and from start to finish we were taken care of. The team is with you throughout the planning process and keeps a very organized timeline to make sure you are on track. Our guests had so many compliments to say about the venue and the day.

We had our wedding at Crossed Keys Estate 11/11/2023 and it was absolute perfection! We loved that this venue is family-owned and run, and only does one wedding a day-making it a truly bespoke wedding experience. The venue is modern and beautiful, and accommodated our 250 guests perfectly with plenty of space. The food exceeded our expectations, and we had a food-loving crowd with very high standards! The Lechon station is a literal must- people will not stop talking about how delicious it was, and being Puerto Rican and Cuban, it quite literally is not a party without this dish! The after-party empanadas were also a crowd favorite. The flowers and decor were breathtaking, Jessica was so wonderful to work with, accommodating our budget and any requests, and her work is truly outstanding. The day went seamlessly, and Katherine, Kyle, and Kiersten really made sure we had everything we wanted and that everything ran smoothly. I really can’t recommend CKE enough, we are so grateful for the entire team for making our day so perfect!

I do not know where to start complimenting Crossed Keys. Absolutely everything was perfect not just the day of the wedding but everything leading up to it. Planning with Crossed Keys was every bride's dream. I barely had to think about anything and they were communicative, accommodating and extremely dependable. The venue is magical, I had multiple guests saying it felt like a Disney wedding from the setting and that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The food was amazing, no one could get enough. We are three months later and my guests are still talking about it and asking about specific dishes from cocktail hour so they could try and recreate it. The service staff was so incredibly kind and our sweetheart table constantly had food and drinks on it. The getting ready space is a makeup artists dream and we couldn't stop finding new spots to take pictures in. I mean everything was perfect, moved like clockwork and stress free. To say this team is professional would be the understatement of the century, they. are. magical. I can't say thank you enough or praise them enough, do yourself a favor and have your wedding here - you won't regret it!

I’ll start with WOW. There are literally no words that can describe how amazing and perfect my wedding day was all thanks to the CKE team. Jess, Kyle, Katrina, Sam and the rest of the team really blew me away. My wedding day ended up being a cold, rainy September day, and I was honestly heartbroken. The grounds of the estate are unbelievably beautiful, and it’s all I pictured for my wedding day. When I had to face the facts that my ceremony would be inside, I was really having a hard time picturing it and coming to terms with it, even though there was nothing I could do. I spoke about a rain plan with Jess the day before, and she put me at ease. When it was time to walk down the aisle and I saw the indoor ceremony set up, I literally cried. It was incredible. I knew it would be of course, the inside of CKE is just as beautiful as the outside, but when all you can picture for 2 years is getting married in front of the stone cottage, it’s hard to think about it in any other way. Beyond that, we did the first look and family pictures in the conservatory and I was literally blown away by the pictures! Once I was inside, I didn’t even think about the outside anymore. Everything was so stunning, I still don’t even have words. The conservatory, the flowers, the tables, the sweetheart table, the ceremony arch, I mean every part was just breathtaking, I still tear up when I think about it! I am forever grateful to the CKE team for turning my wedding dreams into a reality, calming my very anxious wedding nerves, and just making our wedding day the absolute best, most beautiful day of our lives.
It’s been a few months since our wedding, and our guests are STILL raving about the food and how absolutely stunning CKE was! Everyone said it was the best food at a wedding that they’ve had, and they wish they could go back to eat! My one regret is that I didn’t get to try all the food because I was so preoccupied! All in all, I would get married at CKE over and over again if I could. Everything about our experience was extraordinary and I still cannot get over how beautiful of a venue it is. Thank you to all the staff and everyone who was involved in our wedding day. We are forever grateful.

There are not enough words to describe our unforgettable experience at Crossed Keys Estate. I wish I could give their team more than 5 stars! When we started our wedding planning process a few years back I was feeling discouraged. My now husband and I knew we wanted our wedding to be local, but I had a specific vision in mind that I felt would be hard to find in NJ. Most NJ venues had the same ballroom vibe that I was not going for. I wanted a space that if the weather was bad and we had to move our reception inside, I would not be upset. I also wanted to be able to customize a space without clashing with the venue's décor. INSERT CROSSED KEYS ESTATE! As soon as I pulled up to the property for our tour I knew I had to book this venue. Floor to ceiling windows, property that feels like you're in a fairytale, hardwood floors (YES, most venues in NJ have carpet that typically has an outdated design that I felt would clash with my aesthetic), and the most incredible glass conservatory that I did not even know their team was building at the time. I was so lucky that there was 1 free Saturday left for a 2023 October wedding (dreamt of an outdoor Autumn wedding since I was a little girl). From the day we booked Crossed Keys to the days following our wedding the service has been impeccable. Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful, but working with the Crossed Keys team was the best part. They made planning so seamless! I have to give a special shout out to their floral team for making my untraditional wedding visions come to life. When I saw the space for the first time on our wedding day I was fighting back tears. The attention to detail was ON POINT. The amount of effort their team put in to making my Pinterest dreams come to life made our day even that more special. I am forever thankful and grateful to have had the pleasure of working with the Crossed Keys team and to have been able to share this special place with family and friends on our wedding day. The day after our wedding we were inundated with messages from our guests expressing how this was the best wedding they've been to. From the jaw dropping space/property, friendly & white glove staff/service, to the farm to table food and drinks (which to be honest is not always the best at weddings) everything exceeded expectations of what I thought our wedding day would be like. I wish we could do it all over again!
So to all the future brides who are considering Crossed Keys Estate, DO IT. You will not regret booking their team for one of the most special days of your life!!!!
-More than thankful The Bogliolis (Gina, Scott & our dog Auggie who yes, was the flower girl at our wedding another plus of booking Crossed Keys!!!!!!!!)

There are no words... this tam is a powerhouse! Fantastic to work with since the day we met them - but to say that they exceeded our hopes and dreams would be an understatement. Melissa and Michael's wedding was perfect!
The flowers were so exquisite - the chuppa was the most gorgeous we have ever seen - from the aisle to the magnificent tables, the colors and composition were breathtaking. Melissa's dream come true!
The entire staff did an impeccable job. Delicious fantastic and beautiful too. The cocktail hour was one delectable taste after another. Marvelous service from everyone throughout the evening. Gracious, elegant, welcoming. Wonderful pacing - although it all goes too fast!
The Farmhouse and Conservatory looked like a wonderland - our guests were completely wowed! It is the most special venue and created a treasured experience.

From the incredible staff, to the amazing food, to the onsite florist who absolutely kills it every single time, to the gorgeous venue and new cocktail hour space, this place has it all. Although it was out of our budget, I knew CKE was our dream venue from the moment I met Katherine and toured their venue. Katherine, Jessica, Kyle, Samantha, Kiersten and the rest of their team made my husband and I feel like family. They were so helpful throughout the entire planning process and always so quick to answer any questions (and yes there were a lot. I probably emailed them everday) (I'm so sorry guys). Being out of state, I wasn't familiar with the venue before we booked and neither were any of our guests so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I am SO glad that we put our trust in them. As soon as we booked, they sent us a list of recommended vendors and never left us hanging. We stayed in touch the whole time; talking multiple times a week for the year and a half leading up to our event. We had the best day of our lives, and not a thing went wrong! Our guests raved about the food (how much food their was and how delicious it was) and how much fun they had. I received so many compliments on my flowers. Jessica really delivered after me not really knowing what I wanted during our two hour floral appointment. I was all over the place but she made my vision come to life and surpassed all of my floral dreams. She also surprised us with window candles the day of our wedding which was the best and sweetest surprise ever during our room reveal. I couldn’t believe she did that! The whole team is so thoughtful. Our day of coordinator and maitred, Kiersten, I feel like needs a whole separate review of her own! She was absolutely fabulous! I don’t know what I would have done without her. I didn’t have a wedding planner so she was my go to person throughout the last couple of months of planning and boy did I make her WORK 😂 she was so helpful and so patient with me! The whole team at crossed keys estate made us feel so special and checked on our so many times throughout the night (bringing us a ton of food and drinks and making sure that we ate). I literally told them I wanted to work for them and be a part of their family because how much I loved them! Our day couldn’t have gone any better! It was perfect! If crossed keys is on your list of venues, just book them and thank me later! Thank you Katherine and crossed keys for making all of our (my) wedding dreams come true!!!!!!
Xoxo,
Brielle & Tyler

Crossed Keys Estate was a dream come true for my husband and I. From the moment we stepped foot inside the venue and got a warm welcoming tour from the owner Katherine, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The venue is a perfect blend of rustic farmhouse and modern luxury (especially with the new conservatory!)
Planning a wedding is hard enough, and planning a multicultural wedding with 2 ceremonies in 1 day proved to have its challenges, but the entire CKE staff made our wedding planning super easy from start to finish and stress free. Katherine, Danielle & Jessica were super responsive to all of our emails and really took the time to ensure we were getting everything we wanted for our big day. The flowers and decor came out GORGEOUS, Jessica and her team really captured my vision and I still can’t get over how beautiful all of our flowers looked. I honestly don’t think there is anything the CKE team can’t do, they value family and traditions and we could not be more grateful to have worked with the entire team.
Our whole day went absolutely perfect, even with the rain, our indoor ceremonies were absolutely stunning and we could not have asked for a more perfect October wedding day. Our guests cannot stop raving about how beautiful & unique the venue is, and how delicious the food was. From cocktail hour, to dinner & our late night treat of apple cider donuts & pies, everything we ate was amazing (we also loved the lobster rolls!) I really wish we had time to eat more, haha! The entire staff and everyone we interacted with were super friendly & professional and I can truly go on and on about how wonderful our experience was. From the bottom of our hearts we can’t thank CKE enough for making our wedding day absolutely magical.🤍

We booked Crossed keys the day we visited the venue. I looked at the farmhouse and I loved it. Our wedding was truly the best day of my life. Our wedding coordinator, Katrina is the best. We had about 50 email exchanges and she was so patient and thoughtful. Every guest was amazed by how good the food were. And the flowers and the decorations went so well with the venue. Everything was just perfect. Choosing crossed keys was the best decision we made for our wedding.

Where to begin???…. After looking for over a year for a wedding venue and over 13 venues we knew from the second we saw crossed keys that it was truly the one.

Let us start out with speaking our gratitude on how SPECTACULAR the people are and who truly make this place what it is. Working with Catherine, Jess, Kirsten & Danielle has been nothing but pleasurable, you guys are the salt of the earth. thank you for making our wedding day everything we ever hoped, dreamed and prayed about. Jess made our flowers come a reality. I had a vision and she created it with her amazing ability and we are soooo grateful for you. And Catherine, our guests are still talking about how you are truly the loveliest owner. Taking care of all of our guests like they were your own. & Kirsten has been nothing but amazing! Always receptive to my emails and literally didn’t miss a beat the day of the wedding.

Everything was top-of-the-line but oh so personal. The grounds and buildings are breathtaking, the professionalism is unmatched, and working with a family business makes it feel all the more special. We really appreciated our coordinator Katrina for making sure we were 100% taken care of all day. If you're looking for a rustic vibe with modern accommodations, The Crossed Keys Estate is for you!

I am unsure where to even beginning because from the start of this entire process Crossed Keys Estate has been so amazing. The tour of the venue was informative and it made us realize that this was our dream venue. The staff at the Crossed Keys Estate made wedding planning so easy. They provide you with an in-depth spreadsheet and a wedding coordinator to answer all your last minute questions. All staff members were quick at responding to all questions/emails. I loved that everything was at the venue from the catering to the flowers, which made everything so easy. Jessica, the florist was so amazing to work with and she really captured all my ideas in my head and was able to execute it flawlessly. Our wedding day was beautiful and filled with some much love thanks to this amazing venue and their team. They worked seamless with my other vendors and took care of everything for us. I wish I could give this venue 1000/10 stars because it was that amazing.

My husband & I got married at Crossed Keys just about 2 months ago now, and we have said to each other so many times since how happy we are with our choice in venue. The number of guests who told us how amazing the food was and how beautiful the place was, made us so happy! We even had a few guests tell us that it was the best wedding that they'd ever been to. Crossed Keys had every detail down - even the small ones. The in-house florist was amazing, she totally got our vision. Our wedding coordinators were great! The food and staff was perfect. We can't recommend Crossed Keys enough, and hope to attend a wedding there as guests ourselves one day!

We would recommend Crossed Keys Estate a million times over if we could. This family run business makes you feel like you are a part of their own. We felt so taken care of and everything was absolutely SEAMLESS. The venue is STUNNING and guests were raving about how amazing the food was. The CKE team is so organized and detail oriented. Everything went so smoothly (even when we had multiple guest changes last minute). This was the most magical day of our lives and CKE was a big part of that magic.

We couldn't have been happier with our entire experience at Crossed Keys. As soon as we saw the venue last summer, my now husband and I fell in love with it. The space is truly jaw dropping - with the beautifully manicured gardens as a setting for the ceremony, and the stunning farmhouse. We had seen a few other venues that were just far too....rustic. Crossed Keys gives you the feeling of a farmhouse, but with luxury. Not to mention the new Conservatory for cocktail hour and the afterparty. The space couldn't have been more perfect! And the staff as well. We worked with Kyle, Katherine and Karina and they were all incredibly responsive during the planning process, and so helpful and attentive the day of our wedding. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. The food at both cocktail hour and the reception was delicious - our guests really raved about it! Highly recommend this incredible venue.

I can start with the easy things that virtually every guest commented on once the wedding was over... the venue is incredible, the food is notably amazing, and the staff was ever-present and extremely attentive. Outside of that, it's tough to fully express the benefit/impact on the wedding planning process of having an authentically family run business guide you through every step of the way. The Crossed Keys family looks to ensure you are taken care of at every turn because it truly means that much to them. And this sentiment successfully permeates through the entire staff, from the owners to the coordinators to the servers and bartenders. Everyone executes as if they have a personal stake in the success of the event, from start to finish.
There's simply so much that can be said but it's all positive. It is a true end-to-end experience with the CKE team and the final result is purely magical.

It has been a little over a month since my husband and I were married at this magical place. I could spend all day talking about the natural beauty of the grounds, the perfect balance of contemporary and classic aesthetic of the farmhouse and conservatory, the stunning floral arrangements and the DELICIOUS food...but what really did it for me was the staff. Each member of the CKE team is not only extremely talented, but made us feel like family. I started listing examples and realized it would have been a novel by the time I was finished...so I will keep it short and sweet. They go above and beyond, thinking of every detail that will help make you feel special. From warm hugs to big welcoming smiles, these beautiful people are the heart and soul of this place. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank the CKE for making the most memorable day of our lives thus far, absolute magic.

From the moment I found Crossed Keys Estate I knew this was where I wanted to get married and there was no doubt in my mind that I would have my dream wedding here, and oh man was I right! My husband and I got married on September 23, 2022, and it was an absolute dream! From the beautiful grounds to the amazing food and to the wonderful people that work there. Everyone was so warm and friendly and so attentive to detail. Jessica and her team are literally amazing, what I had envisioned for my wedding day in regard to floral/décor and overall the feel of the day, not only did they bring that vision to life but it was even better than what I had imagined! Truly everything came out so beautiful! Our day of coordinator Katrina was also amazing. She was so sweet and so responsive from day one. The day of, she made sure everything was running smoothly and even when we had a minor hiccup due to a lot of traffic which was out of anyone’s control, she made sure to communicate with us and calm my nerves and just assure me that everything will be ok. Overall, everyone from the CKE team were great and a pleasure to work with! Family and friends are still raving about how beautiful everything was and how good the food was! Thank you for making our day so special!

Crossed Keys Estate was our dream venue and boy do they know how to throw a wedding! From the very beginning when we saw the venue in January of 2021, we fell in love with the grounds and their new Farmhouse. It didn't take long after we started to have our wedding meetings, that we fell in love with Katherine and the rest of her family. They truly captured every small detail from our meetings and made it happen on September 16, 2022. They are such an amazing family to work with and really treat you like family throughout the entire process. We are over the moon with how everything went! Our smiles in our wedding photos say it all :)

There is not enough space allotted here to describe how wonderful our wedding experience with Crossed Keys was, just this past weekend on 9/17/22. The cohesive team led by Katherine Rodriquez, her husband Celso, and daughter & son-in-law, Jessica & Kyle, could not have done anything more to make our day special! The Estate is truly a hidden gem tucked away in Sussex County, & every effort is made to make it feel like YOUR home for the day - all while catering to the needs of wedding guests that for us, numbered close to 200. The grounds are well-maintained, the spacious area brought comfort - not crowding - for all involved, & the food & floral decor were not to be compared to any experienced before. This was our third child’s wedding, & the attention rendered by Katherine on wedding day (& before, as I requested some garden trimming due to this year’s drought!) was truly heartwarming. I have never before experienced such hands on treatment - from shortly after our morning arrival for hair/makeup sessions, right on through visits throughout the balance of the day, continuing up until our final moments of departure at the end of the night. Katherine’s personal touch was evident in details not often seen, but that left a lingering sense of caring: she made multiple stops to visit during our “getting ready” time to ask that all was well - & made a photography suggestion that was one of the most emotional moments of the day for me, a father-bride “first look” before the one with the groom! - then later personally delivered 2 plates of appetizers ( & beverage!) to this mother of the bride who was too busy socializing to visit the multiple stations (what a loss that would have been!), & helped enable transport of flowers to our cars at the end of the night. Her presence & concern for perfection was noted by our guests as well . Katherine is an Energizer bunny who is invaluable to every bride hoping for a perfect day! She was ably assisted by our “day of” coordinators, Katrina & Valerie, & Danielle in the office; each of these ladies also helped to make the day run smoothly.
There are other details unique to Crossed Keys that also should be considered. Lunch is served to both the bridesmaids & groomsmen on the day of the wedding, at separate locations, an offering that makes for one less detail to plan - but is an important one for a long, busy day. Only one wedding each day takes place at this location, making it truly “your own” for this special time. There are so many spots for photo ops on the grounds that it’s hard to decide which to use! Reviews by our guests were beyond favorable for both the cocktail hour & dinner menus - & then there was dessert time! Highlights ranged from the German station serving “just like homemade” potato salad to the well-received fish tacos, delicious empanadas & bacon-wrapped scallops, a family favorite of lamb chops, & then came dinner time: portions of rib eye steak & chicken cutlet that were beyond ample, a ginger garlic sauce on salmon that was savored - & dessert that went far beyond just wedding cake & ice cream. Cannolis & German chocolate cake followed, & then it was time for s’mores by the fire pit, with milkshakes to wash them down! Perfect for our 7 grandchildren who attended - & felt comfortable enough to visit the bridal area upstairs for a brief recharge during reception time.
Closing with compliments for Jessica’s floral skills; she knows her territory well, & brought the look we wanted!

My husband and I got married at Crossed Keys in May 2022 and it was the most perfect day. I remeber looking for a venue and when we went for our first walk through CKE blew us away. Not only was it breathtaking but the fact that it is a fmaily own busniess felt so special. From day one working with CKE was nice and smooth. Communication was great, with being an event planner I tend to be a bit picky but they answered all my questions, requests and were woderful. Especially for having to deal with me =]. On the day of the wedding we got beautiful weather, the grounds were beyond and the team was so attentive. Jessica and her team brough my vision to life and it was beyond what I imagined. The florals and tablescapes were jsut as I wanted them. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the grounds are and how wonderful the food was. Thank you 1000x over to the CKE team for making our wedding day the perfect day.
