Hamilton Farm Golf Club

ding up. The ceremony space, cocktail hour space, reception space and bridal suite are all perfect. We had amazing weather and the cocktail hour looking over the golf course was picture perfect. They also provide a list of recommended vendors which is so helpful. We used only vendors that Colette and Alyssa recommended and we were thrilled with all of them. We love visiting HF and couldn’t have been happier!

veryone was incredible throughout the entire process. Our wedding day was so smooth and special thanks to all of them. They are so wonderful to work with and truly make it the best time of your life. Alyssa and Colette and the definition of exceptional!! Definitely get married here, you won't be disappointed!!!

eception, however, was more befitting of a low-class establishment. To share a few of our experiences: (1) HF promises a custom floor plan and provided a couple templates. We picked the template with a Sweetheart Table, and accordingly submitted a detailed seating chart for our guests. Following the cocktail hour, we arrived in the ballroom to find instead a 14-person Head Table had been set up. What happened to the sweetheart table and our seating chart? It was left to me to rearrange several tables - as guests were taking their assigned seats - so that we could carry on with minimal further disruption. (2) HF promises a Bridal Attendant, which even for a laid-back bride would prove helpful throughout the evening. Yet this attendant - who I'm told was in fact on site - never appeared, not even one time to offer any assistance. (3) the communication process is email-only. Phone calls go straight to voicemail; there was no actual communication even in the final days as preparations are most critical. Safe to say that a brief conversation in the final days may have helped avert the Head Table fiasco, but that's not how they do things here. (4) the food was subpar Bottom line: there are several venues in the near vicinity that offer a true first-class experience. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

process and the wedding day with such ease. Everything about the venue was a fairytale and does not feel at all like you're in NJ. The food was amazing, there was never a line at the bar despite it being a 200+ person wedding, the floorplan that Colette designed for us was perfect, really could not have been happier with how the wedding turned out. Nothing but rave reviews for Hamilton Farm and Colette and her team. Highly highly recommend!!

e breathtaking. Food was spectacular and the presentation was beautifully done. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

tte and Alyssa. Colette was very responsive to us and all our questions throughout the planning process. Day-of I did not have to worry about anything, Colette and her team handled everything on-site and were very attentive to the bride/groom to assure all went smooth. I would absolutely recommend Hamilton Farm for your next event!!

e apart is the elite staff. From the moment we began planning our wedding, the staff at Hamilton Farm went above and beyond to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. On the day of our wedding, our bridal attendant was there for us every step of the way, ensuring that we had everything we needed and that everything ran smoothly. The level of service provided by the staff at Hamilton Farm is truly amazing and made our wedding day unforgettable. Overall, I cannot recommend Hamilton Farm enough. If you're looking for a beautiful timeless venue with exceptional staff, this is the perfect choice for your special day.

foremost the grounds are absolutely stunning, our guests could not stop talking about how elegant everything was. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather the day of our wedding and made the grounds even more magical. The food and service was wonderful and all guests were well taken care of. Colette and Alysa are truly wonderful at what they do. They work together like a well oiled machine; emails were always responded to promptly and no question was gone unanswered (no matter how silly my ask/question!). Our vendors were contacted and all logistics arranged with me in the background and not worrying about the little things. They made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. I could not recommend this venue enough, its a hidden gem in NJ. My husband and I could have not been happier with our experience.

our experience. From the moment we first stepped foot on the property, we knew that Hamilton Farm was something special. The grounds were stunning and the venue itself was equally impressive, with a classic yet elegant style that perfectly suited our vision for our wedding day. Throughout the planning process, the team at Hamilton Farm was incredibly helpful and responsive. From our first meeting with Colette, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and really understood our vision for our wedding day. Colette was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and always went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Colette and her team truly made us feel like we were their top priority, and we never felt like just another couple getting married. On the day of our wedding, everything was perfect. Colette and Alysa, along with the staff at Hamilton Farm, went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, and that our guests had an amazing time. From the stunning ceremony site to the delicious food at the reception, everything was flawless. We could not have been happier with our experience at Hamilton Farm. If you're looking for a wedding venue that is breathtaking, with a team of professionals who truly care about making your day perfect (Colette and Alysa are truly the dream team), then you simply must consider Hamilton Farm. They are simply the best of the best, and we feel so lucky to have had them be a part of our special day.

uests throughout the year and a half leading up to our September 2022 wedding - Colette made sure to ease my mind and attend to each question with ease. The day of was unlike anything I could describe, our guests are still raving about the views, food, and service! This is a top notch establishment and I would recommend to anyone considering for their big day. I can't thank them enough!

g up to the wedding. The other vendors we worked with all mentioned how much they enjoy working at Hamilton Farm and working with Colette and her team. The food there was outstanding -- it’s one thing everyone would not stop talking about afterward. The food tasting itself was also great. They also let us come by a few site visits leading up to the event, which was really helpful. One of the best parts was how cool it was to be able to utilize so many spaces - the mansion for getting ready, the lawns for the ceremony and cocktail hour, the reception space, the grounds for photos - and have the party flow from one place to the next. On the day, as the bride, I felt sooooo taken care of, I can’t even begin to tell you! They have an attendant who is with you all day, the rooms at the mansion are incredible for getting ready in (and one is complimentary), and the venue is just so buttoned up. I highly, enthusiastically recommend Hamilton Farm. It was a wonderful place to get married.

! The entire staff (literally everyone you encounter) is warm, welcoming, and so easy and enjoyable to work with. Colette and Alysa guided us through the planning process and made it so simple and stress-free. Every email and phone call was promptly replied to and every want/need was accommodated. You can feel that they truly care and want to make your wedding the most special event for you and your guests. We were lucky enough to have our cocktail hour outside in the rose garden leading into sunset - which was so unforgettable in that unique space. The guests were awestruck at the beauty. Many guests also complimented the excellent service - attentive servers were always available to refill drinks and take care of dietary requests for our room of 285 guests! Not an easy feat, but executed seamlessly. I can't thank Colette and Alysa enough for all of their hard work and expertise - it was a truly magical day from start to finish. We want to do it all over again!

o easy and stress free! All of our guests could not stop talking about the food, the amazing cocktail hour and how much fun they had at our wedding! Thank you again for such an amazing night!

throughout the entire planning process- she is so flexible and really let us design the day to work for us. She provides suggestions along the way and she is truly an expert at what she does. Alyssa was wonderful to work with at our tasting and really helped us to make the perfect selections. The grounds at Hamilton Farm are nothing short of stunning- several weeks later and guests are still sharing it was the most beautiful venue they've been to. Hamilton Farm had the ability to make it feel like our wedding was unique and special to us while managing to leverage their years of wedding expertise to ensure everything went off without a hitch. The Mansion where we had our cocktail hour had the most beautiful charm and the ballroom was a perfect elegant space. Hamilton Farm is truly a gem and I couldn't be happier that we were able to experience our wedding in such a perfect location with a top notch team. Thank you Colette for all that you do!

nd Alysa. Colette was so quick to answer any questions we had and Alysa, our day of coordinator, was always ahead of the game, making sure the wedding party was always taken care of and that all details/vendors were in place. In addition, the grounds are extremely beautiful and several guests said it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended. We did a station style wedding and it was enjoyed by all and had a classy look that maintained the beauty of the ballroom. The food was able to accommodate dietary needs of guests (including myself and my husband) and the staff made sure to provide us meals that we were able to eat. Our wedding truly could not have been more perfect.

our requests and concerns. Alysa, our day of host, could not have been more attentive, professional, helpful and just so nice! The venue, with a variety of locations for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, was stunning. The food, especially cocktail hour appetizers, were over the top wonderful. The presentation and quality of food was perfect and delicious! I would absolutely consider them for your wedding!

thly and on schedule. So much attention was paid to our whole group and seriously, every detail was thought about so we were able to just sit back and enjoy the day. The coordination with all the vendors was seamless. The guests raved about the delicious food – from the beautiful cocktail hour to the sit-down dinner at our reception. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! You even provided the most gorgeous weather ;) Hamilton Farm is a dream Golf Club and equally beautiful wedding venue. We’re just elated about our day and the entire experience leading up to it. Thank you, Colette and team!

riences with my friends, it was clear that Hamilton staff went above and beyond to help us in anyway possible while planning. We truly appreciated their flexibility with our change of plans. Unlike other wedding venues- this is not a “wedding factory”. There is only one wedding at a time and my family loved staying together at the Mansion. I have nothing but a thousand wonderful things to say about Hamilton Farms- look no further for a venue- this is the best it possibly gets. Beautiful authentic outdoor scenery with an English Countryside feel. Even my mom, three months later bring up how wonderful Hamilton Farms was to us during this stressful time. As a nurse, I can say that they took every COVID precaution possible. I would book Hamilton Farms again in a heartbeat.

it made the process so easy.

o see it with me, we immediately booked it for our May 2020 wedding. Colette and Erika are an incredible team and such a pleasure to work with. When COVID-19 caused us to move our May wedding to August 2020, we were so impressed with how quickly and easily they helped us to pick the new date. We also had to move our reception from their ballroom to tents outdoors and the HFGC team made this such a stress-free process. While they gave us guidance on the layout for the dance floor and tables, they worked with us to make the changes we wanted and ensure that our vision was brought to life. Colette, Erika and the entire staff were so well prepared on all COVID-19 related guidelines and changes that needed to be made, which was amazing because it was one less thing that we had to worry about. While COVID-19 brought so many challenges to our planning, HFGC still did everything they could to make sure we got the wedding we wanted and for that, we are forever grateful. We are so thankful for Colette and Erika - they are wonderful and helped make our wedding day the best day for us!

ion during COVID and, especially, our dealings with Colette Flint, Hamilton's Director of Catering. Colette was professional, positive, creative and collaborative, and had a "can-do" attitude during a time when we needed to ensure our event was not only stunning, but safe. She tended effortlessly to a countless list of details in an incredibly compressed period of time. The planning was seamless and our event was flawless. Our family members in attendance raved about every aspect of the experience - from the socially distanced environment, staff precautions, scrumptious cuisine and beautiful surroundings. Thank you Colette and Hamilton Farm for turning our COVID nightmare into a dream come true!

ng was amazing! Colette, Erika and Destiny - HUGE thank you to all of you! You made our dream wedding come true and helped every step of the way. Someone was there to help us every second of the day, from the second we arrived to the second we left. You exceeded our expectations!!

al, and answered all of my parents' and my questions quickly. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly. Destiny, my bridal attendant, was awesome! She checked-in with me to see if I needed anything throughout the entire day. Erika (the event coordinator, I believe that's her title?) was amazing and very professional. She made sure set-up was perfect, and she made sure that the day's schedule ran the way we planned. The staff put so much work into making the day flawless-and it certainly was!

d kind. Colette and Brogan were wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was special. I can't thank Hamilton Farm and their amazing staff enough!

s the day of your wedding. The team was awesome: we met with Colette and Brogan weeks in advance, and the bridal attendant was super helpful the day of the wedding. The food and drinks are outstanding, and the amount of food is jaw dropping. After the wedding, so many of our guests told us that they could not believe that there was still a whole dinner at the reception after all of the food they had eaten at cocktail hour! HF lets you do a tasting a month before so that the food is in season and works with you to make sure you have whatever options you’d like. Now to the property: the grounds have everything from a historic mansion that is perfect for wowing your guests (with bedrooms to stay in the night before and get ready in the day of), a beautiful garden, a barn, a giant ballroom, an intimate afterparty space in the Members' Lounge, multiple places to host a ceremony, and a beautiful landscape. We used the upper lawn to get married, the mansion for the cocktail hour, the ballroom for the reception, and the Members' Lounge for the after party. HF is an excellent place for pictures—your photographer will love the ivy covered walls, the beautiful rooms in the mansion and the awesome views from the lawns (and your pictures will end up great)! It’s truly a spectacular place to get married, and very sought after so you should book them quick! The biggest compliment I could give them is their ability to be flexible and accommodating. My youngest brother has autism, and I very much wanted him to be a part of our wedding by walking down the aisle. When we were still looking, I made a point of explaining to potential venues that we would need an accommodating and helpful team to ensure he could walk down the aisle the day of, but also that the team would need to work with us for the months leading up to the wedding so that my brother could practice. While other venues were very nice and supportive, Colette and HF got it. For the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Colette would coordinate times with my mom for my brother, my mom, and his aide to come to HF and get used to the grounds, the mansion, the rooms, and walking down fake aisles for any of the ceremony options. HF knew how important it was for my brother to be a part of this wedding and made sure we had every opportunity to make sure he was set up for success. Day of the wedding, my brother took pictures with our family and walked down the aisle. I truly do not think that would have been possible without the support and flexibility of HF - I owe a lot of that special moment to them. The second big time they were flexible is with our rain plan. While HF has a good rain plan, we were about to get hit with a nor’easter and thought that we needed something different. After long discussions, they agreed to have us rent a tent for the upper lawn that was connected to the mansion so that we could have our ceremony “outside” and keep our guests warm and dry. It was the first time to our knowledge that HF used a tent like this for a ceremony, and while there were a lot of details that needed to be sorted out, they agreed and executed it perfectly. It was a stunning ceremony space and the flow of the evening was perfect. I cannot thank HF enough for everything they did to make our wedding spectacular!

p last minute meetings with my mom and I whenever we had any questions at all! Colette, the event coordinator at Hamilton, was half the reason I chose the venue (with the other half being the beauty and cleanliness of their facility). I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Colette. She was so on top of everything and was so flexible with changes we wanted to make to decor, menu, etc. They don't nickel and dime you at Hamilton like many other wedding venues do and they are a non-tipping facility. They really made the entire wedding planning process so easy and stress-free. I highly recommend considering Hamilton for your wedding!

there are so nice and accommodating. I would 100% make the choice again to get married here!

the wedding was also extremely pleasant and professional. We received many compliments on food and the staff from many of our guests. Looking forward to hosting our next wedding here!

y comprehensive. Hamilton makes an effort to be flexible and accommodating. For example, they allowed us to set up photos in the mansion lobby one day early and they provided a room for me to get changed when my wife took over our room. The accommodations person is very good. Clear and precise on details and communication. The Not-so-Good: Communication in general was mediocre. They sometimes took large stretches of time to respond to emails. Not a big problem, but if one is looking to get something decided in a hurry, sometimes a challenge. Most importantly, on-the-day execution was a bit below expectations. We agreed on many set-up and procedural details with HF staff and these were not addressed as agreed. For example, I sent an email the morning of the wedding as to the arrangement of dinner tables and they still didn’t arrange as agreed. Another example -- about an hour before the ceremony, I’d asked the staff to quickly canvass to find out which guests would need golf carts (because they couldn't manage stairs). But just before we were slated to head down to the ceremony site, they came up to me to ask who needs carts. There are other examples, but in general I'd say the execution did not live up to the hype. Not terrible, just a bit surprising in the overall context.

Colette was so calm in working with us, explaining how the cocktail hour would work inside and really hand holding us during that last week (in addition to the year leading up the wedding). On the day of, the staff was so incredible. My bridal attendant for the day was amazing and one of my memories from the day was when all of the guys working created a pathway for my bridal party to walk to the limo holding up umbrellas for us so we didn't get wet!! Aside from the staff, the venue is so beautiful and we got so many compliments on the food. Colette, Ryan and the whole team were amazing!

bove and beyond to make your dream wedding come true. Throughout my wedding planning, she became a confidant and she offered such great advice and even when I thought I had thought of everything, she would have a great idea or remind of something I forgot! Ryan, the banquet manager, is also fantastic. He went above and beyond for the wine & food tasting with my family-- they were all so impressed with the quality of food and service and he made it such a special experience for them as well as me. Everyone at our wedding was blown away and said it was the most beautiful venue and the best food & service they had ever had.

ayed away and we had a beautiful and flawless wedding night. The service was great and the food was delicious. But you just cannot beat a more gorgeous venue. Thanks again Colette and Ryan!! They were amazing to work with!

ood quality for a beautiful venue. Honestly, Hamilton Farms is the complete package. Every one of our guests raved about the event from start to finish. Every single staff member was extremely friendly and professional. They truly went above and beyond fulfilling our requests and expectations. 5 minutes before our daughter's outdoor ceremony you a thunder storm rolled in. They kept her really calm and up to date on all the details - and especially the weather radar! They were soaked from head to toe and never stopped smiling. After a brief delay, the chairs were dry, the linens were changed and our guests and the bride and groom enjoyed a wonderful outdoor ceremony. It seemed as if it never rained. Thank you to Colette and Ryan. They are superstars! And Katharine was the amazing tending to 10 ladies' needs and requests the entire day. I can't wait to plan another wedding here (we have 2 more daughters!) I could go on and on.....

which allowed for a smooth, stress free day. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out!
