Fiddler's Elbow Country Club

tself is so dreamy - the beautifully manicured grounds and the GORGEOUS stone building adds so much charm and makes you feel like you’re on the English countryside. But without a doubt the best part about our Fiddler’s wedding was Meg and her team. She made us feel so taken care of from start to finish - every question had a prompt and thorough answer (no matter how small), every request was accommodated, and every tiny minute detail was handled with care. Throughout the process, my husband and I would often say to each other how amazed we were with how thoughtful and thorough Meg and her team was. Another highlight from the experience was the private tasting - the food was so delicious and getting to share a private meal with our parents really made the whole experience feel so special. We couldn’t have imagined a more wonderful wedding experience thanks in VERY large part to the incredible team at Fiddler’s!!

, Meg! Our journey with Fiddler’s began in the Spring of 2020, just as the world shut down due to COVID. I was not living in NJ at the time and was limited to looking at venues online due to lockdown. After researching 100+ different venues, I reached out to Meg. She went above and beyond and sent an extensive video walkthrough to demonstrate what our day would look like. Long story short, we committed to Fiddler’s sight unseen. When we finally were able to tour Fiddler’s that summer when restrictions were lifted, our decision was reaffirmed. Throughout the entire process, Meg was professional, organized, meticulous, kind, caring, thoughtful, competent, timely, understanding, and flexible. She sent us a ton of planning materials, from a timeline, to recommended vendors, accommodations, food menus/options, extras (highly recommend the pizza truck for the end of the night), and more. We were incredibly lucky that Fiddler’s and the rest of our amazing vendors were so understanding when we postponed our wedding (twice!). She made sure that every detail was in place and confirmed. Our food and cake tasting in the months before the wedding was also so special and wonderful. The day of the wedding, we got ready at Fiddler’s, which was relaxing and comfortable. A generous lunch was provided for everyone and our server (shout out to Arlene) was very attentive and wonderful. Staff worked with our florist to seamlessly convert our wedding from an outdoor to an indoor ceremony, due to weather conditions. The ballroom turned out to be a beautiful ceremony space, and we were able to keep the ceremony arch over our sweetheart table for the reception, which was gorgeous. During the cocktail hour, Meg literally chased us with a tray of appetizers and water bottles as we rode away on a golf cart for pictures. We did make it back with more than enough time to mingle with guests and enjoy the spread. The reception itself went off without a hitch (Meg made sure we ran on time), and it was truly a memorable whirlwind of a day. Importantly, with Meg at the helm of our wedding, we felt that we were able to take time to stop, be present, and take it all in (which can be really hard with everything going on). Overall, Meg was our wedding planner, day-of coordinator, hand-holder, therapist, wardrobe assistant (for dress changes throughout the night), and more. We are so grateful that we had such a wonderful experience! Bottom Line: If you are looking for a venue that feels like home, has a low-key atmosphere, exudes understated elegance, and has a consummate professional/lovely person in charge of their events, then Fiddler’s Elbow is for you! Of Note: We have gone to various functions at Fiddler’s since our wedding and can attest that the club and its amenities only continue to improve over time with consistently amazing food and events.

sh working with Meg and Fiddlers was a dream come true. Being so far out from our wedding date it could have been very easy to feel like an after thought for a busy venue and it never felt like that. Meg was so attentive and thorough and quick to respond to any and every question you could have. She made wedding planning actually feel enjoyable. When it comes to the venue Fiddlers has everything you could hope for. Stunning grounds, delicious food, friendly staff. Everything was beyond perfection and the actual day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly I didn’t have a care in the world. Cocktail hour was incredible and our guests are still raving about the variety of the food and how just visually stunning everything was. You can’t go wrong picking this venue. It’s timeless, romantic, and you will want to go back again and again… I truly hope I get invited to a wedding here to get to experience from a guest’s view! My husband and I are so thankful to Meg and the entire team at fiddlers. It was everything we could have wanted and more. Book this venue you won’t regret it!!!! 

short of extraordinary. The space itself is incredibly elegant and stunning—timeless, classic, and absolutely breathtaking at every turn both indoors and outdoors. The food was truly next level; every single dish was crafted with such care and superior quality that our guests are still raving about it. The drinks were just as impressive, each one mixed to absolute perfection. What really set this venue apart, though, was the exceptional service. Meg and her team were phenomenal—attentive, creative, unbelievably kind, and so genuinely invested in making us feel special and celebrated. As a bride, I felt completely supported. Meg listened so thoughtfully and used her expertise to ensure our day unfolded seamlessly. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made. It was a flawless, unforgettable experience from start to finish. The best location for a perfect wedding in central New Jersey and could not recommend more!

r guests STILL tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The venue and views are absolutely stunning, the food is incredible, and the staff are so welcoming, kind, and attentive. There are also so many beautiful picture opportunities throughout the venue and grounds, which made our photos absolutely incredible. Meg was my main point of contact throughout the entire planning process, and she was there for absolutely everything on the wedding day itself. She is so lovely and truly exceptional at what she does. She has a way of making you feel genuinely celebrated and cared for throughout the entire experience. She’s quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and always goes above and beyond. The bride and groom suites were something important I was looking for when finding a venue, and they were perfect. They had breakfast and lunch available for us while getting ready, which was such a great touch and made the morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. Fiddler’s Elbow makes you feel like your wedding truly matters, not just like another event on their calendar. I would recommend this venue to anyone — it was the best decision I ever made.

ate with them. The level of thoughtfulness that they all showed was exactly what you dream of when planning your wedding and our guests were blown away to the point where many of them commented on the incredible service. Can't say enough great things!

he outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour space created the perfect backdrop for the celebration we had always envisioned. An added perk was the opportunity to become members of the club for the year, giving us the chance to enjoy dinners, special events, and even golf on the day of our rehearsal dinner. We cannot emphasize enough how much we love Fiddler’s Elbow, it will forever hold a special place in our hearts! Thank you to Meg & the entire Fiddler’s Elbow staff for making our day so special!

made everything feel easy — every question answered, every detail accounted for, and every moment handled with so much care. The venue itself is stunning, but what really sets Fiddler’s Elbow apart is the experience they deliver. Our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and we owe so much of that to Meg, the amazing staff, the beautiful flow of the day, and how effortlessly everything came together. If you want a wedding that feels elevated, fun, and perfectly executed, Fiddler’s Elbow is it. We couldn’t be more grateful and would choose them again a thousand times over.

! Meg Leese, Wedding & Social Events Manager at Fiddler's Elbow CC, helped us throughout the whole wedding process and was such a pleasure to work with. We received so many compliments on our wedding day from our guests and we will remember every special part of it forever!

pecially the food and drinks. We would get married here a million more times if we could. The team is incredible (especially Meg) and we have such a special place in our hearts for them. We are dying to be guests at a Fiddler’s wedding!!

e was organized, calm, and always one step ahead. She made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free, and on the big day, everything ran like clockwork. Her team was just as incredible, so kind, attentive, and clearly invested in making sure we had the best day ever. We honestly didn’t have to worry about a single thing because they had it all covered. The venue itself is stunning, and having it to ourselves for the entire day made it feel so personal and special. One of our favorite moments was the private cocktail hour upstairs with our friends and family. It was the perfect way to soak everything in before the party really kicked off. The cocktail hour and food were unbelievable. We got so many compliments from guests who said it was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Overall, every detail was handled perfectly, and it truly felt like Fiddler’s Elbow went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we’d dreamed of. Meg even repaired one of our boutonnieres when it got damaged during pictures!

untry club feel. Being able to get ready on-site starting at 8 a.m. was such a luxury—our attendant kept the drinks and food flowing, and even with 17 of us in the bridal suite, it never once felt crowded. One of our favorite parts was having a private cocktail hour with our bridal party before the ceremony, which felt so special. Meg was incredible—so organized and supportive—which made the planning process fun and stress-free. The entire team executed the wedding flawlessly, and so many of our guests commented that it was the best service and food they’ve ever had at a wedding. People were blown away by the cocktail hour, the seamless flow of the evening, and how quickly the bar line moved. I would recommend Fiddler’s 10/10 times—it truly exceeded every expectation.

ot imagine a more beautiful place to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. When searching for our venue, we were looking for a place that would be gorgeous in the fall, with beautiful outdoors, but that also had a stunning ballroom with plenty of space to dance. Fiddler’s Elbow gave us all of that and so much more. The grounds were picture-perfect with the autumn colors, and the ballroom was elegant, spacious, and filled with such an inviting energy. It was everything we had hoped for and beyond! From start to finish, every single detail was handled with such care and excellence. The food was absolutely incredible and the service was unmatched—attentive, warm, and professional in every way. Everything felt effortless on our end, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy the day! A huge part of what made our experience extraordinary was Meghan. We could not have been more blessed to have her by our side throughout the entire journey. She was thoughtful, organized, and so genuinely invested in making it the best day ever. Meghan’s dedication and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that we were in the best hands. She answered every question, eased every worry, and managed every behind-the-scenes detail. Her kindness, professionalism, and passion for what she does made the process feel not only smooth, but truly special. Looking back almost a year later, we can say without hesitation that choosing Fiddler’s Elbow was the best decision we made. It exceeded every expectation and gave us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you’re searching for the perfect venue, look no further—Fiddler’s Elbow is everything you could dream of and more.

is tuxedo pants straight down the middle seam and Meghan busted out a sewing machine and repaired them. My mikado silk dress got stains on it, and she was able to make them disappear! I highly recommend fiddlers, not just for their superb menu, personalized ambience, and beautiful views - but for this level of care and dedication given to us and our event throughout the entire year long planning process.

he venue. They had an incredibly helpful list of other vendors they’ve worked with that made narrowing down our photographer and florist so much easier! The food was incredible, the menu tasting experience was its own mini party for us as we customized our night. It’s been almost a full year now and our friends are still talking about the food. The grounds are stunning of course and everything was perfect. I cannot recommend enough how amazing the experience was working with Fiddlers.

lanning and execute everything perfectly the day of.

ganized. We had several guests with food allergies and the venue easily accommodated all dietary needs. The guests are still raving about the food, beautiful grounds, and friendly staff members. I highly recommend getting married at Fiddler’s Elbow!

e. Meg answered emails within hours, no matter what the day was. She spent time answering our questions, giving recommendations, organizing our tasting, allowing us special accommodations, came in on her day off, set up a meeting with the head bartender, and more. Her expertise is UNMATCHED at any venue we looked at! Our cake was simple and elegant, and the flavor/texture was to die for. Highly recommend the red velvet with cream cheese frosting. The cocktail hour through the after-party food is STILL being talked about by our guests, as well as the alcohol selection and wine choices. Every wedding has something minor that the couple would have changed, but we've been married for a few months now and cannot think of a single thing that we would have done differently, all thanks to the Fiddler's team, especially Meg. It was truly a perfect day to celebrate our love, and the entire team treated us like Fiddler's family. We've already recommended Fiddler's as a top wedding venue choice to a few couples and would absolutely recommend to ANYONE that's lucky enough to have this venue as an option. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire Fiddler's Elbow team - we could go on and on about how great they are!

ood things about our experience with Fiddler's. Our guests are still raving about the food, service, and atmosphere. The natural flow moving from outdoor ceremony to indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, to reception in the ballroom gave us wonderful "different vibes" throughout our night and let us take full advantage of the beautiful manor and property. Meg was there with us every step of the way in planning, guiding us and answering questions. We had a wonderful private tasting that we were able to bring our parents to, and our wedding package included a tremendous amount of (delicious!) food across our cocktail hour and dinner. The staff the day of our wedding were so courteous and helpful. The venue was pristinely clean and we were able to take photos all over, from inside the manor to the beautiful entrance, and on the golf course(s). The bridal suite is excellent- a full front sitting room with great seating and a big beautiful mirror, private bathroom, and second room for hair and makeup. The groom's suite is a bit more basic but more than enough for what the boys need day of! Breakfast, lunch, and a private cocktail hour are all included to make sure family and bridal party is fed and relaxed throughout the day. During planning I asked Meg a number of times if I needed to hire a day of coordinator, but she always assured me that her team took care of the details day of. Throughout the morning of our wedding while we were getting ready we had a relatively large issue with one of our other vendors and Meg handled it, and resolved it, so well that no one else even knew about it. After our wedding I told my husband(!) that if we had hired a DOC it would have been a waste of money, Meg and team were so great. I also threw a bit of a wrench in things by being 16 weeks pregnant at our wedding. Most of our guests knew but I did not want our wedding day to be all about our pregnancy. The entire Fiddler's team was so accommodating and discreet, making sure I was extra comfortable and feeling good on our big day! From making sure I had food options during the day to making sure I had a non-alchoholic drink in my champagne glass and even helping us take a sneaky sonogram/announcement picture without our guests even realizing. I could go on forever with how great our experience was with Fiddler's, I recommend them hands down!!!

ous food! Meghan, Ainsley, and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with- incredibly organized, thoughtful, accommodating, prompt, and knowledgeable! We got a ton of compliments from our guests on what a beautiful venue it was and how delicious the food was. We couldn’t be happier, and we’re so thrilled we had our wedding at FECC!

g helped us iron out every detail. We didn’t have a planner and truly didn’t need one - Meg and the entire staff were so helpful throughout the process. Our guests raved about the food, setting, and how organized the day was from ceremony to after-party. We would recommend this venue to everyone. With Meg and the Fiddler’s staff on your side, you’re sure to have a great wedding day! Meg was so patient and kind with us and helped us customize our wedding to be exactly the day we envisioned. Fiddler’s Elbow truly is the whole package! Cheers to a great wedding!

ith, incredibly friendly, and so helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, they ensured everything ran smoothly and were incredibly attentive, as were all the other staff members. Chef Mike absolutely blew us away with the food! The cocktail hour featured a raw bar with oysters, shrimp cocktail, and fresh ceviches, along with passed hors d'oeuvres that had everyone talking. The brisket carving station was a standout—tender and full of flavor—while themed stations offered Asian-inspired dishes and pasta options that were equally fantastic. The dinner entrées, Chateaubriand and Chilean sea bass, were cooked to perfection. The starters were delicious, and the pastry chef delivered an amazing cake and beautifully plated desserts that were both tasty and stunning. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing and service was exceptional throughout the night. Every detail was a culinary delight! They held a private cocktail hour for the bridal party, and the staff made sure we were always taken care of with plenty of food and drinks, which added such a personal touch to the day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning grounds that provided the perfect backdrop for our photos—every spot was picture-perfect. From the light breakfast and lunch served while we were getting ready in the morning to the last moments of the reception, everything was flawless. I wouldn’t change a thing. If you're considering Fiddler’s Elbow for your wedding, I highly recommend it—it’s a 20/10 in my book! A huge thank you to Chef Mike, Meghan, and the entire team at Fiddler’s Elbow for making our day so special and unforgettable! -Lorin & Robert S.

, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any worries. Our guests have been raving about the entire experience, from the stunning setting to the delicious food. The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcomed and cared for. If you're considering a venue for your wedding, I highly recommend Fiddler's Elbow. It truly exceeded our expectations!

d we felt so supported the entire time. Having such helpful planners eliminated the need for a day-of coordinator for us. The venue is gorgeous, the staff is prepared for any emergency (it rained all day during my wedding and they provided blankets for the guests during the wedding ceremony under the covered outdoor space), and the food and ambiance were spectacular. The private tasting was one of our favorite experiences of wedding planning, and showed the attention to detail that FECC pays toward its weddings. Even in the rain, our photos were gorgeous and our day was perfect. We wish we could be a guest at a wedding at FECC! If I could do it all over, I would choose this venue every time.

r day unique.

horoughly . As my daughters wedding day was getting closer Meg was on top of everything . You never know until the actual day of the wedding how things will turn out, but my daughters DAY was wonderful. Meg played a vital role in making that day special . She is so organized and easy to talk to but most importantly she listens to the needs of the bride and her family . I would highly recommend Fiddler's with Meg being the wedding coordinator. The venue it self is beautiful and the high level of service was spot on .

ul the tasting was! We got so many compliments on the wedding food. They are a well oiled machine at fiddlers while also ensuring we had a unique experience. All of our vendors are well acquainted with the venue so everything went smoothly. All the servers and bartenders were also amazing. They made sure me and my groom always had a new drink ready to go! The property had so many beautiful photo pops as well. Fiddlers was really the full package!

were always on top of everything- sending us reminders, checking in, asking us questions to make sure everything would go as smoothly as possible. And to no surprise our wedding day was seamless! The food is absolutely amazing (the cake is to die for), the grounds are stunning, and the team is top notch. I cannot say enough about this place- Fiddler's elbow is your dream wedding waiting to happen!

truly magical and the day ran so smoothly. They were extremely attentive and went above and beyond to try to bring our vision to life. Our guests have been raving about how beautiful the venue is and how delicious the food was.

ping make our wedding day spectacular. The food and bartending staff were outstanding, and ensured our guests and wedding party were well fed and never without a libation in hand ! The planning process could not have been smoother. Meg’s detailed timelines allowed my husband and I to stay on top of our responsibilities, while keeping us reassured that all the logistics were in place on their end. The wedding day was magical and I hope to spend future anniversaries and milestones with our Fiddlers family. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for making our wedding the most special day!

we were in our own private world celebrating the best day of our lives. We trusted Meg with every decision leading up to and on the big day and everything was perfect. Our vision was so meticulously executed and I had complete confidence in Meg and her team to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was outstanding, the staff were professional and knowledgeable, and all operations were seamless. I even left my bouquet at the end of the night and Meg responded immediately to my frantic email that it was safe in a vase in the fridge for me to pick up the following day. We strongly recommend the pizza truck and espresso martinis at the end of the night. Make the easiest decision of your wedding planning process and book Fiddler’s Elbow!

his place with our whole heart. Meg Leese and her staff at Fiddler’s are the best wedding team out there and an absolute joy to work with, the food is delicious, and the venue is stunning. Don’t think twice, book Fiddler’s now!

requests. Fiddler's goes out of their way to make the entire wedding experience special without nickel-and-diming the couple or their family. Once you are there, they truly take care of you! From the private tasting (amazing!) and the day-of mimosa brunch for the bridal party and family, to the private cocktail hour - our experience was nothing short of excellent. The food was great, the add-ons (e.g. martini bar, pizza truck) were fun and allowed us to incorporate our personality, and we are so glad we chose Fiddler's. We opted not to hire a day-of planner and didn't feel that we needed one because the team at Fiddler's is a well-oiled machine with plenty of experience. We have no regrets and would do it all over again if we could.

hospitality was perfection. Not only was the experience of wedding planning so enjoyable but the day of our wedding, I felt so taken care of. The tasting experience was so memorable and the day of, the food and drinks were incredible. Our guests are still talking about our wedding and the experience they had as guests - we are so happy! Thank you Fiddlers!!!!!

a venue and staff that takes pride in creating a unique and timeless experience for each wedding. There will never be enough words to thank Meghan Leese (Wedding & Social Events Manager) and her team! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day more than we could have even dreamed of! Meghan is an absolute legend! She made the whole process seamless. Her and her team were friendly, professional, patient, extremely accommodating, and just a pleasure to work with. We could have never have done it without Meghan! Fiddler’s Elbow CC truly provides a unique experience. The fact that they only have one wedding a day is a testament to their dedication to each couple in ensuring their wedding day is nothing but magical. The venue also offers couples and their bridal party the opportunity to get ready the morning of at the venue which is a very nice feature! Our guests loved the venue and we did too! Our guests are still talking about how good all the food was, how beautiful the venue is, and how friendly all the staff was. We are so thrilled with Fiddler’s Elbow CC!

nal. We wish we could relive the day over and over again! Cannot say enough good things about Fiddler's Elbow!!!

nd beyond anything we could have expected to make the day run so smoothly. From our first visit up through the wedding day she was super responsive and available to answer all of our questions, and almost all of the amazing vendors we used for the day were her recommendations. Meg also ran the entire wedding day itself, from setting up the ballroom and coordinating the vendor setup, to getting the wedding party ready to walk down the aisle, to making sure my husband and I ate at the reception! The entire staff at Fiddler's was incredible as well and we got so many comments from guests about the great service! The Fiddler's experience eliminated so much of the typical wedding stress. The whole wedding party got ready at the venue, and Fiddler's provided food and drinks throughout the day so no one had to worry about a thing. The grounds are so beautiful and include such a wide variety of backdrops for photos, including fields of prairie grass, a river with bridges, and wooded areas, along with the stone manor itself. As for the food, our guests were blown away by everything, but in particular the wide variety of appetizers, the wedding cake, and individual pizzas at the end of the night!
