Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
David’s Country Inn is a wedding venue located in Hackettstown, NJ. The Victorian mansion built in 1840 stuns visitors with its elegant two-story ballroom and stained-glass ceiling. Adorned with antique furniture and decor, this hidden gem is sure to delight both couples and guests.
The inn is nestled in historic Hackettstown, blending in perfectly with other landmark buildings in the area. First built in 1787, the building was named The Warren House after General Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War hero. The 24-room inn that now stands was constructed in 1840. Following its use as an inn, it was purchased by Louis Falzarano, Jr. and his wife, Theodora, in 1978. The Falzarano family transformed it into a wedding venue. Their children, Christopher and Jordan, now operate the inn in order to preserve their parents’ legacy.
Upon acquiring the mansion, the Falzaranos carried out renovations on the property to preserve and restore its historic features. The newly completed outdoor patio, complete with a stone hearth and wooden pergola is a gorgeous choice for on-site ceremonies and cocktail hours. The interior’s Victorian foundation is accented with art nouveau details, including the ballroom’s stained glass ceiling. Glittering chandeliers and warm, dark hardwood floors add an air of sophistication to the venue. The 18th-century mahogany bar and baby grand piano in the parlor room provide the perfect vintage space for cocktail hour.
David’s Country Inn adheres to a one-event-per-day policy so couples and their guests enjoy the utmost privacy on their special day. They accommodate both indoor and outdoor ceremonies and receptions. The idyllic country estate can host weddings of up to 215 attendees, though small celebrations are equally as stunning. The cozy Warren Suite is available for the wedding party to get dressed on-site. Renovations to the 1,500-square-foot space have recently been completed, and the suite now has all modern amenities. The room can be separated into two suites for couples who don’t want to see each other before the ceremony. The inn’s chef has been serving weddings for over a quarter of a century and curates custom menus prepared on-site for the happy couple. Included in each wedding package is a custom wedding cake and floral centerpieces to complete the wedding day experience.

Our parents started David's Country Inn in 1978. With no experience, but lots of drive and talent they created a beautiful venue with a wonderful reputation for personal service and great food. Our Dad passed away in 2009 and we took over the business. Our mother still works here, we call her our historian :) Everyday we are thankful to do something we love and to work beside family. Chris graduated from Johnson and Wales with a degree in Hospitality and Jordan from Marist College with a degree in Communications. This photo is a cute shot from Jordan's wedding - working hard no matter what!

We got married at David’s this past October, and I could go on for hours about how beyond incredible they were. Every step of the process was so smooth, and we couldn’t be happier with the fact that we chose them for our wedding. It’s got such a a charming and elegant feel- we fell in love with the venue the second we walked into the ballroom at our tour.
First and foremost, as a bride with multiple food allergies and intolerances, I can’t recommend David’s Country Inn highly enough. Prior to booking a venue, I was nervous about the food aspect of the wedding, but Brandon, our day-of coordinator, and Liz, the head chef, put me so at ease. They made picking foods that were both delicious and safe for me to eat an absolute breeze. I truly feel like I could not have been in better hands.
A quick shout out to the rest of the staff as well! We booked with Hannah, and she answered all of our questions early on. Brandon was assigned to us as our day-of coordinator, and he made everything from picking a menu, to finalizing all the little details so simple. He walked us through everything, answered all of our questions leading up to the wedding, and made the day-of completely stress-free for us.
Getting ready in the Warren Suite was so convenient, and Brenda, the Warren Suite attendant was the absolute best! She seemed to be everywhere at once, steaming dresses, making sure I had food, setting up decor- she was amazing.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and so much of that was because of the attentiveness and care of everyone at David’s Country Inn. Every person we encountered there was so kind, and they all made our day one we’ll never forget.

I wish I could give David’s more than a 5/5 because they absolutely deserve it. From the moment my husband and I walked through the door, we fell in love. Not only is the venue beautiful; the staff, service, food, and drinks, were all incredible and people are still talking about it. Brandon was our Event Manager and he went above and beyond from the jump. He answered all of our questions and when the day of came, I have never seen someone so organized and focused on the couple they were working with. Working in the industry, I had some pretty high standards that were all exceeded. Everyone went above and beyond for us and I will be recommending David’s to anyone that asks about a venue in NJ. Thank you to the whole DCI team who made our wedding day the most amazing day of our lives! - Mollie and Taylor Brown 4/13/25

From start to finish our wedding on 3/27 was perfection! Brian was our contact from the time we booked until the day of and he is amazing! He is calm, professional and every email and question was answered within a day or so leading up to our wedding. We had a few RSVP's add on's and we had some special needs individuals with some food restrictions and Davids accommodated them without any issues whatsoever. The day of Brenda our Maitre D was on point. She anticipated our needs before we did and she was so helpful. Our guests raved about the service, food and said how wonderful Davids was. It is large enough to fit a bigger wedding but intimate enough that you do not feel you are inside a Wedding factory. They are all down to earth and you feel more like family. I would 1000 times recommend Davids Country Inn for any couple! You will not be disappointed!

David’s is the absolute best venue in so many ways! Brian was our event coordinator and literally responded to every email question I sent over a year and a half’s time with a smile on his face and a calmness that would help an anxious bride be at ease. He supported us through the entire process and helped make the day of one we could just enjoy because we had the confidence that everything would be handled by his team!
On the day of the wedding, we (and our guests) felt like royalty with the service provide by every single staff member at David’s. This is truly a powerhouse venue that makes your wedding the most special day of your life! And on top of all of the superior service… the food is delicious too and they cater to all allergy needs! Would give 100 stars if I could!

David's Country Inn not only meets every expectation you could possibly have for your wedding they exceed it. David's was recommended to us by a friend and colleague and from the second we arrived for our tour we knew that it was the venue for us. The inn looks like it came straight out of a Hallmark movie with all of the character and charm it possesses making it ideal for our wedding two days before Christmas. From the stained glass to the partial wraparound porch and ivy wall there is a timeless elegance that was everything we were looking for. David's could be the most beautiful venue in the world but it would be nothing without its staff. The staff at David's was as incredible as the venue itself. We were lucky to have Brian as our event coordinator and have the opportunity to work with him from the day of our tour through our wedding day. He is kind, patient, attentive, and was willing to answer all of our questions to make our day everything we hoped it would be and more. Brenda was our maître d as well as our Warren Suite attendant and she was incredibly helpful in making sure everyone had everything they needed and ensuring the day ran smoothly. She was friendly and brought such a positive energy to our day. We honestly cannot say enough about how amazing each of the staff members at David's truly are. They made our wedding the most perfect day we could have ever asked for. We are beyond grateful to David's Country Inn for making our fairytale wedding dreams a reality. Thank you DCI!

We had the most incredible experience working with Brandon and the staff at DCI. The venue is so gorgeous and has such character and charm (which makes for great photos even on a rainy day!). We are not from the Hackettstown area but when we walked into our tour, we knew immediately we had found our dream venue. The whole staff is so accommodating and take such good care of you on your big day. They are flexible, fun, positive, detail oriented, and caring. Not only are all the spaces absolutely stunning and the staff so wonderful but the FOOOOOD! There is so much incredible food that our family and friends could not stop gushing over. Lastly, my husband and I are teachers who were nervous of overspending, but David's was worth every penny. You get so much for a great deal, I am so so so glad we were able to be a part of the DCI family!

Our wedding at David’s was truly a dream! Our coordinator Brandon was always on point, making sure our day ran smoothly and flawlessly. The outdoor ceremony setting with the fireplace was intimate and romantic and the reception room was grand and stunning. The staff really catered to us to make sure we had everything we needed and they made everything turn out even better than we ever imagined. Their expertise and passion for weddings really made our day magical and we couldn’t be more grateful!

We had our wedding at David’s in November and there are not enough words to explain how great everything was! We had the pleasure of working with Brian to plan our entire wedding. Brian was helpful, kind and always answered questions no matter the time of day! We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless day. Everything was great, the food, the service, the drinks were loved by all!

We had our wedding in August of this year and it truly was the best day of our lives. We worked with Hannah from day 1 and she was very helpful. Any question I had she would answer promptly. DCI is very organized and knows exactly what to do the day of. We got so many compliments from family and friends about the food, drinks, and how helpful the staff was. My husband’s grandma lost a pearl and a staff member found the pearl in the bathroom. Any request anyone had, they were there to fulfill it. People are still talking about our wedding. The place itself has so much history and character. It felt like we were in someone’s vintage home. It had a very homey feeling and we were obsessed with the atmosphere. We also both got ready in the Warren suite which was so fun! The girls got there early and had access to both sides. When the guys arrived the girls went into the room with the mirrors and couch. There was plenty of room for everyone. We ordered lunch through DCI which was delicious. We got the wraps and pasta salads. We had 177 RSVP “yes” and 172 showed up. The ballroom was perfect for this size and didn’t feel crammed at all. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. Highly recommend this venue if you want the best wedding ever!

My husband and I got married this past June and even now, a few months later, we are still in awe of David's staff.
As we planned, we had the good fortune to work with Kristian. We and our guests alike had nothing but praise for her.
As someone who was born and raised in Hackettstown and later relocated about an hour away, I had not given David's any thought when I originally started looking at locations around New Jersey. Luckily my dad had a coworker who had recently booked there, which motivated me to have a look at their website and reach out for availability.
My husband and I were hoping for a date between May and August, but being that we were only a few months out, David's only available date was a Thursday in June. I had never thought of having a wedding on a Thursday, but after looking through the pictures, comparing the costs, and talking to the staff, we signed the contract right away.
One of the things we appreciated most was how flexible their bar packages were; we were able to special order cases of the drinks we wanted to have on our wedding day. In addition, because the location is so stunning and unique on its own, we really didn't need much "decor" for the wedding. The venue looked amazing, and all we had throughout were a few family photos, candles, and flowers.
All in all, Kristian was a true delight to work with and her whole team truly delivered the fun, seamless, and unforgettable wedding day we had envisioned. If you are considering David’s for your wedding, I encourage you to save yourself the time and stress of exploring any further.

We had our wedding at this past July and it was INCREDIBLE. 1000/10. Kristan was our event manager and she was so helpful months prior to the wedding. If you are getting ready in the warren suite, ceremony, and reception at DCI, no need for a separate event coordinator. The day ran so smoothly! They were so attentive throughout the day to our family and guests! The food was AMAZING and our guests are still raving about it along with the venue! Book here and you will not regret it!!!

Our guests raved about the food as everything was delicious! Our day was beyond perfect and we cannot thank David's and their staff enough for making our dreams come true!

I have to say that this venue was absolutely stunning and all their workers were simply amazing. Brandon, Brenda and Daniel were the most amazing staff and I was happy to hear everything went smoothly for our big day!
They all work very hard to make sure your day is what you want it to be and so much more. I am very pleased with everyone that worked for our wedding day of 06/22/24 and our guest still talk about how attentive everyone was.
Our guest also really raved about the food and how amazing it was. We did the delux package and it was more than enough food.

We got married in November of 2023 and chose David's Country Inn as our wedding venue. We knew almost immediately when we looked at the venue that we wanted to have our wedding there. It felt so charming and intimate and like no other wedding venue we encountered. Brian gave us our tour and answered all of our questions. He was super helpful throughout the entire process and made us feel at home, excited, and at ease. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we met him. Our wedding day went smoothly. There were a couple of hiccups with Kristian, our event coordinator, but everything else ended up going pretty well. We absolutely loved our Maitre-D. She was always on the ball with everything and very responsive to anything we needed throughout the evening. Everyone raved about the food and cocktails. We received many compliments from our guests after our wedding about how the drinks were the best they've ever had and that they were so stuffed from the cocktail hour that they could barely eat the dinner during the reception. Overall, we were so happy with our wedding venue choice and recommend David's Country Inn to the world.

David’s was incredible! My now husband and I fell in love with the venue for its beauty and rich character, and were absolutely blown away by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Hannah and Brenda were so amazing on our wedding day, everything went so smoothly and they were so knowledgeable and took care of all my concerns! Any questions we had, they were answered promptly. The food was AMAZING (we still have guests reaching out to us about how amazing the bacon wrapped scallops and fried shrimp were), overall everything was just incredible and we have the staff at David’s to thank for the most beautiful day of our lives.

We fell in love with the venue the second we walked in and booked It right on the spot. The staff is AMAZING and helps you out throughout the entire process. They are extremely accommodating with anything you need and make sure that you have the best day. Hannah was our coordinator and she was simply the best. Our guests still talk about our cocktail hour and food til this day. You feel like you are at home when you are inside and the staff makes you feel the same way. If you are debating booking, you should do It! You won’t regret It!

Got married Jan 5th. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. All of our guest and my wife and I have absolutely nothing to complain about because the day from start to end was amazing. The food was amazing, everything was run well. The process was stress free. All of our vendors also had a great experience working with them. We had Hannah as our coordinator and Brenda as our bridal attendant, both were helpful in creating our perfect day. We are recommending David’s to everyone in hopes we can experience David’s as a guest. 10/10 for service, price, presentation, customer service and hospitality.

Where do I begin? We got married 12/2/23 and from the moment we arrived it was amazing. Brenda was our maitre'd for both the morning and the evening. She was AMAZING. She was attentive, present, and ready at a moments notice for anything. Sarah was our event coordinator and she was just as awesome. If you needed anything, she's present and quick to respond. Both of these women made my wedding day go off without a hitch.
The venue is beautiful. We got so many compliments on the food and the service. We danced the night away and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. There were no issues with menu planning, scheduling, vendors, etc. David's truly made wedding planning so easy for us. I would get married here ten times over if I could. Truly beautiful venue, wonderful and kind staff, and great party. Book your wedding here and you won't regret it :)

David's Country Inn (DCI) was the perfect place for our vintage themed wedding. It had so much beauty, historical charm, and character. Although the venue didn't need additional decor to add character, we still preferred to add personal touches to the table centerpieces and for our wedding scavenger hunt. DCI was extremely accommodating and patient with us. They listened to everything we said and helped resolve any issues we experienced during the planning stage and wedding day. They helped alleviate our stress and make sense of all of our ambitious ideas for the wedding. The staff is friendly, extremely reliable, and professional. They went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful to them. We are so glad we had our wedding at DCI. Our wedding guests, especially the children, had so much fun exploring the venue. It was an unforgettable and lovely experience for everyone.

My (now) husband and I had the absolute BEST wedding day at this venue. When we look back on that day, we really can't think of anything that went wrong. From the moment we got there until the moment we left, everyone was so helpful. The food was great! Our guests RAVED about the beauty of the venue and the efficiency/professionalism of the staff.
Even before the big day, Kristian was so, so helpful, it was unbelievable how much time and dedication she put into every single question I asked. I could not have had such a smooth day with her and everyone else at David's. I am so happy that we chose this venue and cannot say enough good things.
Seriously, get married here if you want to have the absolute best wedding you could imagine!

I got married on July 15th and I wanted to really highlight one moment with David’s. We had a beautiful day weather wise during portraits and it seemed the storm we were watching had blown off. We decided to have the ceremony outside. Then, some dark clouds rolled in along with some thunder. We continued on and got through an introduction of the ceremony with my brother as the officiant, two readings, and our vows. As we started the ring exchange, the sky opened up. It absolutely poured. Hannah, Brenda, and the staff at David’s ran out with umbrellas and were soaking wet themselves. When my husband and I turned around, we looked out at our guests and they were dripping wet. When guests returned inside, David’s had towels out for guests to dry off with. They took all of my bridesmaids dresses and threw them in the dryer. They took the shirts from the guys (groomsmen and some of our close friends) and gave them extra white server shirts they had. They hand dried my dress, all while they were still wet themselves. We were all very impressed by their quick action and support.
Our entire day at Davids was so incredibly memorable. Getting ready in the Warren Suite was beautiful. We enjoyed the lunch there and the groomsmen loved playing the shuffleboard game. They were organized, set up everything beautiful, and were very open to any feedback that we had to make any changes to their set up. Our guests loved the look of the venue. They just loved how unique it was. Our cocktail hour was a hit, along with the main course. People raved about the food, especially the Venetian hour. The international coffee bar was something people had never seen before. Irish coffees were an absolute hit! David's had even surprised us with our favorite Italian cookie along with making Baklava for my husband's Albanian family. We were so excited about it! I would get married there every year if I could. Thank you for such a memorable and amazing night!

The Warren Suite was such a nice place to get ready in before the wedding. The staff was absolutely amazing and attentive and the atmosphere was spectacular! All of our guests raved about it after the fact and had a great time! Everything on our day went absolutely perfect and we are forever grateful for everyone there that helped!

My husband and I got married at David's Country Inn this past weekend and it truly could not have been a better experience! We used the Warren Suite for the entire wedding party to get ready (it can be separated for the boys and girls). The Warren Suite had so much space for us all to get ready comfortably and enjoy the entire day. Our event coordinator, Sarah, made sure everything was perfect! Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the entire venue is! We had an unfortunate event happen with one of our guests where they had to be taken to the hospital. The staff at David's not only packaged up their meals to take to them at the hospital, but went and picked up our guest to take back to her hotel. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect and stress-free. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and their incredible staff, but if you are considering David's for your wedding day - DO IT! You will not regret it!

She was incredible throughout the whole planning process and on the day of. We received countless compliments on the food and how stunning the venue was inside and out.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way, and so much of that had to do with David’s. The venue is so unique - something that did not go unnoticed by our guests, everyone loved it. Each detail gives such a warm feel, and the staff is no exception. Sarah was beyond amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was so responsive, no matter how far out our wedding was. The level of hospitality is unmatched - food and service the night of our wedding was impeccable. I cannot say enough great things about David’s!! We are so thankful we chose to have our most special day here and will remember it for a lifetime.

The best choice we made! Davids country inn is a timeless, historic building with some modern elegance. You have full access to the whole building the entire evening. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Everything about the day was perfect - huge shoutout to Sarah and Brenda and the rest of the staff for making everything run so smoothly. We had a lot of decor and everyone was so helpful and accommodating. Food was great. Guests had the best time.

Our biggest day could have not been successful without the staff at David’s Country Inn. We were looking for a venue that was rustic and that had character. The minute we walked into the venue, we knew our big day would be there. The food options were sooooo amazing, the outdoor area where we had our ceremony was romantic and and indoor venue is really rustic, vintage, but also modern. They recently did a new renovation after we did the original venue visit and It really made a huge difference. We were lucky to get the renovations for our wedding which really made us even more excited for the day of the wedding. As beautiful as the venue was, I think the partnership and the help from the staff is what really makes or breaks a wedding and they honestly knocked It out the park. They provided us with A++++ service from beginning to end but especially during the last month up to the wedding. I really have to give a huge thanks to our wedding coordinator, Sarah, as well as Brenda and Brian. I honestly don’t know what we would have done if It wasn’t for them. Till this day we still talk about how much they’ve helped us throughout that entire day. Overall, David’s country Inn is like no other and if you want a unique look for you and your guest to remember, there is no other choice in the New Jersey area. Thank you for everything David’s Country Inn.

David’s Country Inn catered our wedding on our property this September and to say we were elated with their service is an understatement! Our family and friends are still raving about the delicious food and overall ambiance of the evening – and it was all thanks to the staff at David’s. During the weeks leading up to our event, Chris and Brian were in constant communication with us, making sure every detail was ironed out.
We received excellent service from the moment we first met with Chris to explore our catering options, all the way until after the very last guest left the party. They took such care to ensure that our dream wedding came to life – and went SO far above and beyond to make it happen (Brian even ran around on the morning of the event, arranging our potted flowers and making sure the outdoor space was perfectly elevated to suit the occasion). David’s carried out every tiny detail to perfection – even our private cocktail hour was a dream come true!
We knew we were in good hands since we’d both attended a few weddings at David’s in the past, but we are still blown away by just how perfectly they executed our vision. Several guests reached out after the wedding to let us know how impressed they were with the catering staff’s skill and professionalism; we were overjoyed to learn that the parents and grandparents were treated with extra special care and left feeling like they had been VIPs at an exclusive restaurant.
Our dream wedding had many moving parts and many vendors involved, and David’s worked seamlessly with each of them to ensure the timeline of the evening stayed on track, and that we never had to worry about a single detail that day. They were incredibly respectful of our property, going above and beyond to clear away all our décor at the end of the night, so it was safely stored away when we returned from our honeymoon. We recommend David’s Country Inn a thousand times over – you will see for yourself how they bring your dream wedding to life, flawlessly!

David’s is the best wedding venue hands down. The space is well maintained and beautifully kept. I was first assigned to worked with Seamus who was OUTSTANDING at what he did, but unfortunately he had to leave. I was then working with Hannah who I can not say enough good things about. You can truly tell she absolutely loves what she does. She helped bring my vision to life in the venue. She also made my wedding day feel seamless. From the point of initial contact with the venue until the end of my wedding day I was truly taken care of. My guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how much of a great time they had at my wedding. The food was amazing and there was never a time that there was a line at the bar. I would HIGHLY recommend David’s to anyone looking for a venue.

I just got married at David's and can't recommend them enough! The staff was incredible, everyone was polite and went out of their way to help us on our wedding day. The location is beautiful and they will do any customization to create your perfect day.

David's Country Inn is so unique and beautiful, there really is no other venue quite like it. They are so great to work with and truly put their all into making your wedding day as perfect as you could imagine. Our wedding day was truly a dream. Sarah, our coordinator is an absolute saint, I don't know what I would have done without her. I cannot say anything but great things about this venue. It is stunning inside and out, the food is to die for and their staff are all wonderful. I will always recommend David's!!

David’s Country Inn is unlike any venue I have ever been too. When you walk in you can feel the history and character of the venue. Not only is it beautiful but it is also convenient-from getting ready, to a location for photos, food and flowers, they have it all! Huge shout out to Sarah Jones. From beginning to end she was there to make our wedding planning a breeze. Thank you for everything!!

Truly so grateful for the staff at David's Country Inn for going above and beyond to help us have the perfect wedding day. Our guests could not stop raving about the service and food, especially cocktail hour food! Hannah was absolutely incredible at answering any questions and just making sure we had everything set up for our day. So many people have asked how we found this place because the ballroom is simply stunning. Even though the weather was a bit unpredictable on the day of the wedding, they were so supportive when we decided to continue with an outdoor ceremony. Luckily enough, it did not rain! I cannot say thank you enough for giving us the most memorable day. Thank you so much!

Having our wedding at David's Country Inn was the best possible decision we could have made . David's is such a beautiful and unique space. Our guests were raving about the venue the entire night exclaiming how perfect it was and how good the food was (which is very important to me personally). We got ready in the Warren Suite, had the ceremony in the newly renovated ballroom, and had our cocktail hour and reception on site. The transitions were stress-free and the vibe of the day was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I just wanted our family and friends to have the most fun with us and that is what we got at David's Country Inn.
The most amazing aspect to me was how attentive the staff is. Special shoutout to Maggie who is the best bridal attendant I could have asked for. On the day of, when small things were going wrong, Maggie went to my bridesmaids to come up with solutions and did not come to me. By the time I learned of things that had gone wrong, Maggie and my bridesmaids already came up with the solutions. Once I saw this in action, my stress evaporated and I felt so relaxed because I knew I was in good hands. Maggie also took my decorations with no instructions and knew exactly what to do with them. She really helped my day come together.
Overall, David's Country Inn is a beautiful and unique venue specifically for the couple that does not want a generic hall. You will be taken care of here I can guarantee you that. I wish I could relive my day over and over again at David's Country Inn!

I cannot say enough about David’s Country Inn! Sarah was our coordinator and she was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. All of the staff is also so nice and helpful. The venue inside and out is so beautiful, elegant, and the recent ballroom renovations are so gorgeous! The gardens are all so well kept and cared for. All of the food was amazing, from the delicious spread at cocktail hour to the Venetian hour at the end with specialty espresso drinks and desserts! Our wedding day was so perfect and seamless at David’s. They made it feel so personal and special. I cannot recommend them more, they do an amazing job.

My vow renewal on March 5, 2022 at David's Country Inn was out of this world AMAZING! Their staff and their food will not disappoint and they made our day beyond perfect. Their new ballroom renovation was gorgeous! They designed the space to have a grand feel while keeping the charming characteristics that David's has throughout their venue. You will not get better food at any other venue and we never had a line at the bar because their bartenders were very efficient.
There isn't enough space to rave about everything the crew did to make us feel so taken care of and up to date during the construction process. Being the first wedding after a major update was scary but Jordan and Seamus were on the ball! You are missing out if you don't book at David's for you special day because you truly wont have a better time anywhere else.
I do need to shout out Gianna who was with me all morning while we got ready. She is a saint in human form. The kindest warmest person you could possibly want to be by your side on your big day. She took care of it all and when a jewel fell off my nail, she was on her hands and knees looking for the tiny stone (even offered to go to the store to buy me another). So THANK YOU GIANNA!!!!!
Weddings are stressful enough, but having vendors you can depend on truly make it magical and give the bride/groom the ability to relax and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Thank you guys so so much!!!

We are obsessed!
David's was amazing from start to finish. We were blown away on our initial tour and have had only the best experience since.
Our coordinator was Hannah and she was incredible! Answered my millions of questions and helped us every step of the way while we were planning. On the day of the wedding she was there to make sure everything ran smoothly and I seriously did not have to worry about a thing! She even came in early because our bridal assistant had an emergency and had to leave. She also made sure that Andrew and I were taken care of all night long, that we had private moments together to just soak it all in, and that we knew what to do every step of the way. She even brought out my Mother In law some Creme Brulee because she knew it was her favorite. Seriously she is a rockstar!
The food was incredible! It has been a week since our wedding and people are still raving about the food. The greatest hits were the bacon bar, grilled cheese tomato soup shooters, beef wellington puff pastries, crab cakes, filet mingon, the bourbon glazed salmon, and the desert bar.
Everything was top notch. The drinks, the food, the staff, the venue. We also choose most of their preferred vendors which I think made the day that much more seemless. All of our vendors work together so frequently that there was never any issues, they were all able to help and guide everyone at any time in the day, and they all worked together as a team to make this the best day of our lives. Bob from Fantasy DJ, our officiant Maureen Jeffries, and our florist Calico Flowers all worked perfectly together. Seriously get married here!

I got married in April 2022 and had the best experience with David's! Here are my top 4 reasons why y'all need to book this venue asap!
1) The venue itself is so unique, charming and beautiful. It is even more stunning after the ballroom renovations! We got so many compliments from our guests and so many great photos because there are a lot of picturesque spots all around.
2) The food was delicious and abundant. Again, we got so many compliments from our guests, especially on the lamb chops and grilled cheese/tomato shooters. We also chose to do the shake shack station at the end of the night which was a hit. No one went home hungry that's for sure!
3) The staff was amazing to work with! Hannah was our coordinator and she answered all our questions in a timely manner up until the day of the wedding. We did things like a package upgrade (from Ideal to Deluxe) and switched cocktail hour from outside to inside the day before, and all of these changes were handled seamlessly. On the day, Hannah and our maitre D also ensured we were taken care of. They had a sampler plate of all our cocktail hour food ready for us to scarf down after our photoshoot, they got us drinks throughout the night and even packed up all our decor and top tier cake all neatly for us to pick up the next day.
4) The value. You honestly get so much for the price. When touring other venues, we were floored by how much some other places were. In order to get within budget, other places offered to take things away. But not David's, we got everything we wanted and more and stayed in budget!
My only critique would be that it is not the biggest venue. During my whole planning process, I was so nervous that not everyone was going to fit. We invited 200 and had about 170 come. Everyone fit comfortably during cocktail hour and dinner, but there were definitely times that it felt a tad cramped on the dance floor. So just wanted to put that out there for any brides who may have a larger guest count.
Other than that, David's Country Inn was an absolute gem and we totally recommend!

I will never have enough words to describe how perfect David’s was. The new ballroom is breathtaking!!!! The place feels so comfortable and accommodating - it’s like having a wedding in our house.
People still calling me to say how beautiful it was and also how delicious was the food.
David’s holds up to 200 guests and in some point I had 240 invitations and they were so amazing trying to find the best solution to fit all my guests. I ended up with 160 and it was a perfect number.
A plus “thank you” for my bridal attendant that washed and dried my dress with a hair dryer after I got soaked during the Ceremony (yes, it rained for 5 minutes when I started walking down the aisle 😫 - they had to act fast and moved the cocktail hour for inside - a bummer but didn’t change how great everything was).
Also bridal suite fitted my 5 girls and 11 guys in two different spaces, full of delicious food and great backgrounds for pictures.
I would choose David’s another thousand times!!

I have gone back and forth on whether I should write this review, as it is not as glowing as others I've read. However, knowing that the way my wedding was run still irritates me, even 2+ years later, I felt the need to leave the review. Yes, the property is beautiful inside and out. That being said, when I spoke with the venue, before I signed the agreement, I specifically asked for an extended cocktail hour in lieu of passed hors d'oeuvres and a buffet or sit down dinner. That's all I wanted. Everything else would have been the standard wedding set up. The owner agreed he would be able to do it and we signed. However, TWO DAYS before my wedding I get a call from the venue coordinator saying they wouldn't be able to accommodate my request and that I needed to change the set up of the wedding. Obviously, I was so angry but I was over a barrel. I didn't have any way to complain to the owner or force them to do things the way I wanted because he was on vacation and the buck stopped with the coordinator. I was also overwhelmed with planning all the other last minute pieces of the wedding that I didn't have it in me to complain (like I normally would have). Their change to the format of the wedding screwed up my timing, the order of the things happening at the wedding, and completely threw me for a loop. I honestly did not enjoy myself at my own wedding because I had no idea what was going on, due to the last minute changes. After the wedding, the owner called me to apologize, but really, it didn't matter at that point. So here's my takeaway on my experience (generally and in re: to David's): 1) Always hire a day-of coordinator, as they will help you keep on time, tell you where you need to be, and what's coming next. They can help iron out issues and answer questions as needed. But more specifically about David's: 2) If you are looking to do anything outside of the normal hors d'oeuvres/buffet/sit down dinner, DO NOT GO HERE. They cannot accommodate your wishes (both due to size constraints and flow of the property) as well as their unwillingness to anything different than the normal hors d'oeuvres/buffet/sit down dinner. You're better off going to a venue where you can create what you want from scratch or one that is bigger that can accommodate your vision. Wishing you all the best on your upcoming nuptials.

Danielle,
It genuinely hurts us to hear that you had a bad experience at David's Country ...
Inn. It is our goal to give every couple the wedding of their dreams. I am having a hard time recalling these details since your wedding was over 3 years ago, so I just reviewed the contract that you signed. You chose the Ideal Wedding Package, which is a formal sit-down dinner. There is no mention of any special requests for an extended cocktail hour. Please call us anytime to discuss this further. Either owner would be happy to speak with you.

The moment my husband and I stood on top of the balcony in the ballroom, we knew it was our venue. Everything is so unique and beautiful. You will not find another venue like it - it is a perfect mix modern and vintage. With all that is included at the venue, it is well worth the price. The Warren Suite is a huge bonus and fit so many people while everyone got ready. Endless mimosas are never a bad thing. In addition, the food is absolutely delicious, and no other food at any other venue compares, especially on the actual day. The quality of the food was exactly the same as the day of the tasting. They are so accommodating, and our coordinator, Sarah is super sweet and made our day 100% stress-free. She is so easy to get in contact with and answered all of our questions quickly. We cannot rave enough about this venue, and every guest we have talked to has said it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to.

My Dad moved in with my step-mom when I was about 12 years old- not far from Main Street in Hackettstown. Since then, I knew I always wanted my wedding there.
So when the day finally came, I knew I had to call immediately. David's Inn is one of the most intimate, beautiful wedding venues I had ever seen (I'm in the wedding industry myself). I didn't want the basic large venue, with white walls that look like every wedding venue. I love the creeky floors, dark wood, and fireplaces- and I specifically wanted Halloween weekend. David's was so accommodating and was able to fit us in within the week for a quick tour (although not needed) and we wrote the check right then and there for our wedding. No other venues were looked at!
The pandemic hit immediately after our deposit. We had over a year and a half to plan, but it was nerve-racking. Luckily, Sarah and Hannah were with me every step along the way. Every question, concern was answered within 24 hours or less. Timelines were provided which made the process SO easy as there was no question when or what was due at what time. And when I say they will let you do anything to make sure your day is what you imagined- I mean anything!
My day was spent in the amazing Warren Suite (the groom got ready at my Dad's house to give us the entire suite) with all 11 of my bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, 3 additional family members getting ready there, and 3 mom's. We also had 5 hair and makeup people and our photography team. We had so much space, the girls loved being able to relax on the couches, or have a sandwich in the kitchen and that we weren't on top of each other. The food was great! Our get-ready photos are so cute because of the style of the Warren Suite! I also loved that I had my own private bridal room for my dress and photos before my grand entrance to my bridesmaids. Once the groomsmen were ready they were able to come over to the second floor and have a drink while they waited for us. There was no issue with spacing or set up or issues with the timeline thanks to the great layout of David's Inn.
Of course, we wanted the GORGEOUS outdoor area, but our wedding day was a monsoon. The entire staff worked to get the ceremony inside within a few short hours. I was nervous but it looked absolutely beautiful.
After the ceremony, during the cocktail hour, the staff flipped the room in ONE HOUR, ONE HOUR! to a reception area. Cocktail hour was a huge hit- everyone is STILL talking about it. ("Those tomato soup/grilled cheese shooters were insane!"). Our guests loved sitting in the other room with the fireplaces, walking around the front porch and their jaws dropped when re-entering the reception room to see how it had changed.
Hannah and the staff made sure Ryan and I never *not* had a drink in our hands, or food in our stomachs. We were truly treated like royalty.
Overall, I could never have imagined my wedding taking place at any other venue. To quote one of my friends, "that ceremony was one of the most romantic I had ever seen between the lighting and candles". Not a moment went by that we did not feel like the most important people in the world, and if you're like me and want to limit your decorations, David's Inn's beauty speaks for itself. Do yourself a favor and book it quickly- because you will not regret it and your guests will be talking about it for years to come! We were the party of the year!

Getting married at David's was by far the best decision we made. I fell in love with the charm and beauty of the venue when I first went to visit, that I booked that day. The staff, especially our coordinator Dan, was SO easy to work with, and did everything to make sure that our day was exactly how we wanted it to be. Our guests absolutely loved the venue as well, they have been raving about how beautiful and unique the building is, they have never been anywhere quite like it. I heard from multiple guests that they felt like they were in a "Hallmark Christmas movie" because it was just so perfect and lovely. The biggest thank you (and especially Dan) for the best night of our lives!!

My husband and I got married at David's a little over a week ago, and we had the absolute best time! We fell in love with all of the historic architectural features immediately, and we really appreciated that they only host one event per day, so everything can be personalized. Originally, we were scheduled to get married in 2020, but the team at David's handled postponing and rescheduling very professionally. Hannah, our coordinator, was super helpful, and always got back to us quickly when we had questions! She made the planning process so much simpler by laying it all out for us. On the day of our wedding, she was extremely organized and made sure everything went smoothly; she was always right there when we needed her! We also used the Warren Suite to get ready in the morning, which I highly recommend - it's beautiful, and it makes the day flow so well to get there early and be able to relax on site before everyone else arrives. Mark, our maitre'd, was very attentive and made sure we got to eat, which was a huge plus because the food was AMAZING! Every single one of our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! My husband and I seriously hope someone we know chooses to get married there because we want to go back!!

We were married at David’s in October 2021. We used the Warren Suite to get ready in and had our ceremony and reception at Davis’s. It’s hard to put in words how great the whole experience was from start to finish. From our initial walkthrough to our wedding day they were professional, helpful, and the venue is so beautiful. They are proudly a family owned and operated venue and it comes through in every little detail. The staff was amazing and responded quickly to all concerns and questions. The food is exceptional and our guests raved about the cocktail hour and reception. We would highly recommend this venue for any event and are so happy that we selected David’s Country Inn for our wedding 😀

David's made my reception day, without a doubt, one of the best days of my life!! From the very beginning of our experience with David's back in 2018 when I fell in love with the beautiful historical venue through to our actual wedding day, we've had an awesome experience.
I absolutely recommend using the Warren Suite if you're getting married at David's. It's a beautiful place to relax with your bridal party before getting dolled up.
There are sooooo many romantic photo opportunities on the property - whether it's the beautiful outdoor fireplace, the antique bar or the cute phone booth .
The FOOD. The FOODDDDD was amazing! Everything at the cocktail hour was out-of-this-world delicious (ESPECIALLY the pretzel station - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and the entrees were soooo yummy.
David's Country Inn is full of history and this wonderful vintage atmosphere. Every time I stepped foot in the building I was in awe of its beauty.
I'm only sad because the experience is over and I don't know when we'll be able to come back to David's. My husband and I , for sure, will be whispering about David's in the ears of every newly engaged couple we know in hopes we get to go back and enjoy David's once again!!!!!!!!

My fiance (now husband) and I walked into David's Country Inn and immediately knew we loved it. From the beautiful bar area, to the chandeliers in the ballroom, to the amazing wrap around balcony and the (what had been then) newly done outdoor area, we absolutely loved that it didn't feel like a traditional wedding venue and was historic in vibe.
Everyone at David's was extremely accommodating, especially as we had to change our date 3 times due to COVID. Dan & Chris were particularly helpful and made it as seamless as possible.
The food is literally AMAZING; I can't tell you how many guests complimented us on the food from the wedding and how much they loved it.
The venue in and of itself is beautiful as well; our photographers and videographers couldn't stop saying it was their favorite location to shoot at because of all the natural light and that pictures really show it! It's also amazing that they have so many different spots to shoot at (like the front porch the ivy wall, the bar, the ballroom)... it literally is the most unique location and I'm so happy we were able to get married here.
They made everything very easy for us from preparation to the day of. Brenda, who was our bridal suite attendant for the day, was wonderful, especially dealing with all of our family and our requests.
I highly recommend anyone getting married here upgrade to the Warren Suite -- it is TOTALLY worth it and was the perfect place to get ready and take all those photos.
There aren't enough wonderful things I can say about David's -- if I was going to get married again I would do it here.

Don't hesitate to have your wedding at David's Country Inn - it was the best decision! David's was one of the first venues we toured and instantly loved it. My husband and I wanted to make sure we explored all of our options and looked at nearly 30 other venues throughout NJ. After being unimpressed with most other locations, and always having David's on our minds, we went back again to schedule our date! The venue is historic and unique, offering something different than typical other venues. Each room at David's is beautiful with fun details, character, and charm. While we didn't have our ceremony at David's we used the outdoor area for gorgeous photos. We had originally scheduled for July 2020 but David's was incredibly accommodating in helping us change our date to July 2021. Thanks to Dan at DCI for being exceptionally accommodating, personable, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Definitely book the Warren Suite - our entire bridal party (10 girls, 11 guys) used the space to get ready in the morning before church. Everyone had a great time and it was special to have our bridal party spend the morning together. Our guests loved the cocktail hour and the reception itself was absolutely perfect. Every staff member was outstanding - friendly, professional, and helpful. Our guests loved everything about our wedding at David's, from the food, to the space, to the entire vibe! When you book at David's, there are so many options to choose from, and David's will work with you to make your wedding work for you and for what you imagine it to be. Thank you for making our day truly special and unforgettable!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at David's Country Inn in May 2021. We quickly fell in love with the beautifully decorated vintage (with modern touches) building, newly built outdoor ceremony space, and how much was included at an extremely fair (for NJ) price for a Saturday spring wedding. We spoke with the team at David's throughout 2020 and early 2021 about our concerns with Covid and they were always reassuring. Our venue coordinator was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. The day of our wedding, the team at David's took care of us in ways we didn't even know we needed!

I can't even begin to put into words how amazing Sarah and the rest of the team at David's Country Inn are! Not only is the staff friendly and welcoming but they truly cater to what YOU want. We were lucky in selecting a date that just happened to fall during the reopening process of COVID and David's went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. We were treated like kings and queens from the moment the bridal party and me stepped foot into the building on my wedding day (6/26/21). During the reception, the wait staff seemed to know what we needed before we asked! They were so attentive and every detail was meticulously crafted to ensure our day went smoothly and as perfectly as possible. Our guests absolutely raved about the venue itself; they couldn't believe what a gorgeous building it was! We can't thank everyone at David's enough for making our day absolutely perfect!!

I honestly can’t say enough positive things about David’s! Our original date was May 16 2020. Covid ruined our plans , but the staff at David’s made me feel comfortable about rescheduling. Fast forward to our new date June 19, 2021, and I am STILL smiling from ear to ear. Everything was absolutely exceptional. My guests are still boasting to me about what a great time they had and how much they loved the venue. The forecast even changed last minute for my outdoor ceremony. Dan and Hannah made it happen for us in between the rain storms. I am sooo grateful for that! The staff was sooo sweet and there for us the entire night. A huge thank you to Dan, Hannah, Lisa, and especially Susan (who served me all my meals that day.. thank you so much Susan !!) My husband and I were blown away and will never forget the amazing wedding night we had. We hope to be invited back as guests for another wedding so we can experience their exceptional service once again! :) We truly love you all!

We can't say enough good things about our experience using Rutherfurd Hall, through David's Country Inn, for our wedding venue. Our event manager, Sarah Jones, was amazing! She worked with us through every step of the planning process and answered our hundreds of questions in a very timely, professional, and efficient manner (especially the last minute, month-of/week-of questions that I asked non-stop!). We live out of state and she was very accommodating (giving our parent's an in-person tour in our stead).
Sarah and Chris were so understanding and accommodating throughout the covid experience. They worked with us, rescheduling multiple times (June 2020 pushing to October 2020 and again to June 2021), they didn't charge us any extra fees, and they worked with us through those stressful times when planning a big party in a pandemic was so stressful and uncertain. They made us feel like they genuinely wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams, and we weren't just another customer.
The venue is positively stunning! We had our ceremony and reception at Rutherfurd Hall, both outdoors. The backdrop of the lake and trees for our ceremony was so beautiful. The tent on the grounds was set up so lovely and the historic hall in the background (and the guests were allowed to explore the hall as well, or take a break for the excitement in comfy couches) was also beautiful and the guests were all impressed!
Some notes about the day-of: there was rain in the forecast and the staff was so amazing! We wanted our ceremony by the lake and they set up a room inside for the ceremony in case we wanted (or had-to) move it because of rain. They gave us both options and let us wait till last-minute to make our decision (so no pressure!). We decided to keep it outside, and the rain just held out for the duration of the ceremony! Cocktail hour, same thing. We were really excited to have everything outside as planned, and they made it happen! They moved cocktail hour under the tent and even though it started really pouring rain, everyone had a fantastic time (they even brought out big umbrellas for guests to use if they wanted to go into the hall to use the bathroom). The rain was really coming down, but the staff made everything perfect and the guests were comfortable under the tent (they put up and took down extra side panels on the tent to keep the rain out and let the breeze in when the rain stopped).
The food: the menu options were all great and there were plenty of options for everyone's taste. All our guests loved the food! And as the bride and groom, the staff was so amazing, making sure we had full glasses and plates of all the food brought to us (while taking pictures/etc.). The bartender was fantastic and there was never a long wait for our guests to refill their glasses.
The decorations: the staff was so helpful! The day before, they helped us unload two cars worth of decoration items and then they took it from there! Everything was set up just the way we wanted and looked perfect! Then at the end our special day, we were able to be sent-off (didn't have to break anything down), and they had everything back in boxes the next morning for us to just pick-up. They even grabbed the random items we left scattered about the place in the rush of getting ready/ taking hundreds of photos/ and quick touch-ups in the bathrooms and bridal/groom suites.
Overall: perfect!
