Emily Fetter and the entire Bridgewater Manor team were fantastic!
Planning our wedding was stress-free, thanks to them! We cannot stop singing their praises to anyone who asks us about the planning process. There were 3 couples at our wedding that already added Bridgewater Manor to their planning checklist. We loved how organized and thoughtful everyone was. Any questions or requests are promptly answered and fulfilled. If we ever have any other future events, we will choose Bridgewater Manor again!

Shout out to Lara, Adel, Lady, the servers and bartenders! We just had our wedding at Bridgewater Manor, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The venue itself is stunning. The menu options were diverse, and the quality of the food was exceptional. Our guests raved about the delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our wedding was perfect. They were attentive, professional, and incredibly accommodating. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, everyone we encountered was super nice and helpful. They made us feel like family, and their genuine care and attention to detail made our wedding day stress-free and enjoyable.
I can't recommend Bridgewater Manor highly enough. If you're looking for a beautiful wedding venue with delicious food and exceptional service, this is the place to go. Our wedding was a dream come true, thanks in large part to the wonderful team at Bridgewater Manor.

Bridgewater Manor is one of the most beautiful venues I've been to. Everything about Bridgewater Manor was incredible. This past weekend, I had just experienced a dream wedding because of them. The whole experience was magical. My sales manager, Alyssa, guided us every step of the way from the very beginning till the very end. Not only was she so professional, she was also so responsive to emails and answered all questions whenever I had them. Let's get started talking about the venue itself. The venue is absolutely stunning and all the staffs are professional and helped our guests and families during our big day. The ceremony was so beautiful and what caught families and guests' eye was the fountain which made taking pictures even more beautiful! Overall our big day was beautiful and I couldn't thank Alyssa and her team for making it all happen!
Thank you, Alyssa and her team for making it happen!

The Bridgewater Manor exceeded our expectations! As soon as we arrived for our tour, we knew we found the venue for our wedding. Our wedding planner, Emily, was very kind and always there to answer any questions along the way! All staff was helpful and professional at our wedding. The maître d’, Adel, was fantastic and allowed us to have a quiet moment together to have some of the appetizers from the cocktail hour before greeting our guests and made sure we were happy the entire day! Our guests were raving about the food and appearance of the venue, during and after our wedding! We would highly recommend the Bridgewater Manor for any special occasion you may have to celebrate!

Everything about the Bridgewater Manor was incredible. We were so impressed that we actually chose them right after our first tour and didn't even bother scheduling tours with any other venue. Alyssa was incredibly helpful and made the whole planning process incredibly smooth. The value included with the standard pricing couldn't be beat. All three ballrooms were recently renovated with brand new floors and LED lighting tracks. Their grounds are incredibly scenic for both indoor and outdoor photos. The variety in their menu was perfect for us to make sure all guests would be represented. And lastly the wedding cake is included in the cost which make's it all the better. You had to pick between two bakeries, Calandra's or Palermo's, we chose Calandra's and it was one of the best cakes we've ever had.

We just had our wedding at the Bridgewater Manor on 11/18/22 in their Imperial Ballroom and our Ceremony held in their Somerset Ballroom! Everything was beyond beautiful and more than we could have expected!!! Our sales Manager Alyssa has been by our side for the last 2 years during this whole planning process and a whole pandemic! I cannot recommend the Bridgewater Manor enough. Our maître d’, Adel was SO FREAKING FANTASTIC! He was by our side whenever we needed him from the moment we stepped in property for first looks to the very NEXT DAY when we came to pick up the rest of our belongings and decor from the night prior. He was so amazing, truly. He had us laughing, he was maki g sure we ate, drank, had time together, and took care of literally everything you could think of. I am beyond thankful for such an amazing team of people who helped make our night the fairy tale we wanted it to be. If you can, ask for Alyssa and Adel and his team when you book with them! Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the food was, cocktail hour was so freaking good with so much food, dinner was phenomenal, and don’t even get me started on their dessert! Freaking delicious with the desserts like cheesecake (everyone is still raving about that!), brownies, donut wall with fresh made donuts, and the ice cream sundae bar to name a few! Instead of favors we did a To-Go station which they offered! We went with the Fall themed to-go station of hot apple cider and apple cider powdered donuts, and let’s just say- that stuff was mouthwatering delicious. I’m a sucker for apple cider donuts and hot apple cider.
Seriously, if you can, book with them. They’re beyond accommodating, helpful, kind, caring, and seriously an A Team. I love them there.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Bridgewater Manor on November 27, 2021. The day was absolutely perfect and not a single thing went wrong. Danielle, the Catering Sales Manager was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. She answered all of our questions and was always available when we needed her. Adele, the maitre’d was absolutely wonderful. He had a great energy and sense of humor and helped me feel relaxed and comfortable that day. The ceremony room and reception were gorgeous and the food was delicious. My family and friends were so impressed!

Our wedding at the Bridgewater Manor was PERFECT! From Day 1, Alyssa was an amazing sales coordinator. She was so responsive to all our questions and SO accommodating when we had to change dates due to COVID. The venue itself is gorgeous, it felt like we were in a fairytale! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how good the food was! Our maitred Adel was amazing- he was always there when we needed anything from him! And the whole staff in general was so friendly & helpful. I highly recommend checking this venue out for your wedding or party! Such a wonderful place and a good crew running the show!

We had our wedding in the Somerset room at Bridgewater Manor and it could not have gone better. The reception and cocktail rooms were beautifully lit and so classy. So many of our guests commented on how stunning it was. The ceremony grounds are also so gorgeous, especially for pictures. There was so much food and it was delicious (my fave was the short rib), with so many passed hors d'oeuvres and specialty stations just during the cocktail hour. My guests were stuffed but still indulged in the ice cream sundae bar after dinner.
Alyssa was my event manager and she was great, really responsive and accommodating, especially in these challenging pandemic times. Danielle stepped in to help toward the end because Alyssa could not be there the day of my wedding, but I was in great hands, as Danielle was lovely and made me feel so at ease. Jesus, our maitre'd, was such a professional and really guided me through everything. He was there to hold my train as I walked down the aisle, make sure I ate, gently instructed me where to stand, and even helped pack things up at the end of the night.
I was so worried that so many things would go wrong the day of my wedding, but everyone at Bridgewater Manor was such a pleasure and so wonderful at their jobs. Highly recommended from this happy bride.

We had our wedding here in Ocotober 10th and this venue exceeded our expectations! Carissa, our sales manager was the best!!!! She was very helpful from the start. She answered all of our questions, reminded me about all the details and made sure everything would run smoothly, and it did!!! Our maitre'd, Adel was very attentive to all our needs! I didn't even have to ask him for anything, he would just do it!!! LOL. He's awesome!!! All the servers were also great!!! They made sure all of our guests were provided with the most professional service possible. The food, especially the cocktail hour was so good! My guests couldn't stop talking about it! (Talk about having an open bar too) LOL. My guests enjoyed the dance floor with the rotating lights/ changing color LED lights. Again, thank you so much Bridgewater Manor for making my wedding so memorable!!! I would definitely recommend this venue to everyone!

We just got married at the Bridgewater Manor on 10/15/2021 and it was truly the most perfect night and wedding! The staff at the Bridgewater Manor really took the extra effort and went the extra mile in ensuring us and our guests were happy - and they definitely succeeded. Everything ran smoothly and went according to plan. Special shout out to Carissa, our sales manager. She was quick to respond and helped us from the minute we booked our tour at the manor. She constantly went out of her way from the beginning of the tour to the actual wedding day to make sure every detail was perfect! Jesus was also extremely helpful and great during the night of our wedding!! The food was delicious and everyone raved about. There were so many options, it was hard to pick during our tasting because everything was so good! The outdoor space was beautiful for both ceremony and pictures, from the gazebo to the pond with the fountain. Thank you to all the staff at the Bridgewater Manor for making our wedding day perfect! I don’t think it could have been any better! We highly recommend the Bridgewater Manor!

Our sales manager Alyssa has a knack for details! She went above and beyond with the decor we had asked to display adding her own personal touches to make it even more beautiful than expected. She was always there for us from the day we booked to the wedding itself. She truly went above and beyond.
The staff was friendly and very attentive to our needs the day of the wedding. The Bridgewater Manor should be honored to have an employee of Alyssa's caliber working for them. The food was phenomenal. My daughters wedding was truly magical and I am still being contacted by guests raving how it was the BEST wedding they have been to, how the food was excellent and how it was just a picture perfect dream come true wedding. Thank you for making their wedding dreams come true. The constant smile on both the Bride & Grooms faces were PRICELESS!

We recently had our wedding at the Bridgewater Manor and could not be more thankful. With everything going on this year, they have been so positive and hopeful that our day would go as pictured, and it did just that! The food was amazing (so I heard from guests- because we were too busy to eat. The day goes by so quick) but it looked amazing!
Danielle and Adel were absolutely fantastic.
A big reason why we chose to have our wedding at the Bridgewater Manor was because of Danielle. We met Adel at rehearsal and he was by our side every step of the way making sure we had everything we needed. I felt like they kept me organized and in touch with everything - communication was so easy and I always received a quick response to all questions.
I highly recommend & a big thank you to both of them!

From the beginning, we were being helped by Carissa. She was extremely helpful and so sweet throughout the whole process. She answered all the questions we had, including when my mother-in-law contacted her with questions of her own. All the employees that helped out the night of our wedding were extremely nice also! We honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue to have our wedding and celebrate with all our friends and family. I would definitely recommend The Bridgewater Manor!

Bridgewater Manor was the first venue that we visited. We visited a bunch of other venues in Central and North Jersey afterwards and nothing else compared. We are so happy that we chose this place. Carissa was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing. We don’t live in NJ anymore and so most of our communication was via email/phone. She was super responsive and easy to work with. She was also so accommodating of our hectic schedule the day before the wedding to fit us in for a last minute walk-through. She made me feel at ease and confident that the day was going to be great. Adel was our wonderful maître d’ and he was also vital in making the night go smoothly.
We had the ceremony outdoors on site and it was just beautiful. Our guests raved about the quantity and quality of the food. It has been almost a month since my husband and I got married and we can’t stop talking about how perfect the day was.

She made the whole process sooooo easy. I wanted a venue where I had the least amount of extra work/vendors to find, and they really brought it! The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful, and everyone there was just great! Thank you Danielle and everyone else at the manor for making our day perfect and stress free!

Our wedding at the Bridgewater was absolutely amazing! Our family is still raving about the food! Adel our maître D was absolutely phenomenal , he catered to our every need and was so loveable. Jacki one of the bartenders had a tequila ready for me whenever I would sneak to the bar. Amazing! We had a few hiccups, the women’s restroom was out for most of the reception, so the men had to go upstairs and the women had to use the men’s room. All and all our wedding was a hit! Thanks to everyone that made our wedding a success.

My new hubby and I just got married at the Bridgewater Manor. The food was great, the servers were so kind, and the venue was stunning! When we first booked with them the venue had different owners and we were nervous when we heard of the change. But they couldn’t have done a better job! They honored our original contract, and also ended up making a lot of beautiful updates to the venue! They revamped both bathrooms and the bridal sweet, and well as the walls and lighting.
The best part by far though was working with our sales manager Carissa. She was so incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire wedding planning process! She was able to help us with all of our questions and request we had. If you decide to book here ask her to be your sales manager because she is so fantastic! (Although I’m sure all the other ones are wonderful too)

The Bridgewater Manor was wonderful for our wedding in June 2019! The service and accommodations were off the charts and made my day stress free in order to enjoy every moment marrying the love of my life. Carissa was a dream to work with and was extremely helpful with every little question and concern my crazy bride brain had. She made sure everything ran perfectly! Adel was also an excellent maitre d. He made sure we had everything at every point in the evening and was so friendly and funny. Many of our guests raved about him! I will remember that day so perfectly forever and that is thanks in large part to this venue! Great job, we love you guys!!!

My husband and I got married here on 10/19 and there are not enough words to describe how amazing our day was. We worked closely with Carissa during the planning process and she was beyond fantastic. Carissa was there for us from the first tour of The Bridgewater Manor to the day of our wedding and we wouldn’t have had it any other way! Our guests absolutely loved the food, music (we used Tony Pop from The Pros), our photographer (we used Torrin photography), and the grounds. The grounds made the most beautiful back drops for our photos. The weather was great, so we were able to get married out on the patio and take our photos. We had Mercedes as our maître d’ and she was so tentative to us all night long. Danielle and Alyssa also were a huge help the day of; everyone who works there works so well together and they all make such a great team. If you’re in the market for a venue, book here, you will not have any issues!!!

My husband and I are over the moon ecstatic about our day and haven't been able to stop talking about it. Danielle is an absolute dream to work with. Extremely attentive with emails, questions, last minute switches and even helped me tie my bustle when my mother and bridesmaids disappeared. Mercedes was my wing lady for the entire event and thank god she was. From keeping me calm in the bridal suite when I was by myself, being our personal cocktail hour server, assisting our bridal party entrance and letting everyone know where they stand, and finding my nieces lollipops because they were forgotten in the limo earlier that morning. I would have been absolutely lost without her. Those two woman MADE OUR DAY!!
Our entire family keeps complimenting us on our choice of Bridgewater Manor. We have multiple people in our family that are in the restaurant business and they could not get over the quality and taste of the food, especially for a large catering hall. Cocktail hour, appetizers and the entrees were so delicious! Also they have been taken over by new owners and completely renovated the building. The softer gray tones for the entire facade of the building, new landscaping for their outdoor patio, new retaining wall, renovated bridal suite, absolute perfection.
I could keep going. We are thrilled that we made the choice to have our wedding at the Bridgewater Manor and owe big thank you's to Danielle, Mercedes and their staff.

We had our wedding at Bridgewater Manor on June 29th. After booking, the venue changed owners, who promised us a seamless transition, which they delivered.
Throughout our planning process we worked most closely with Carissa and Danielle, who were both wonderful. Response time to any questions or concerns throughout our planning process was unmatched. They were always willing to answer an email, take a phone call or meet in person.
Unfortunately rain hit on our wedding day, but the staff knew I wanted an outside ceremony. Although it ultimately poured during that time and we ended up inside, the staff’s willingness to move our ceremony back and forth until the last minute to try to give me my outside ceremony was so appreciated. Originally, they set up outside, and ended up moving it back in, with the option of moving it all back outside, if the weather held up. Not a simple task. No one can control the weather, but their willingness to accommodate us and our happiness was unmatched.
Adele, our Maitre D’ was incredible. From the moment he introduced himself he was smiling and willing to take on any request we could have come across. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendliness made it easy to work with him and trust he would take care of every detail, so we did not have to.
Paela, our captain was also incredible. We recognized her and Adele from our taste testing months before. Her knowledge and willingness to meet our needs perfectly is so appreciated.
Over 2 weeks later my husband and I are still getting phone calls raving about our wedding, the food, the staff and service, and the venue itself.
We cannot thank the staff at Bridgewater Manor enough for making our day perfect!

Our wedding on September 23rd could not have been possible without Bridgewater Manor. Pat, Maryanne, Erin, Carissa, and Adel made everything run smoothly and seamless. Words cannot describe how Bridgewater Manor went over and beyond to make our day feel special. My husband and I were on a tight budget and had been disappointed with many other venues we had seen. Bridgewater Manor was willing to accommodate our budget. They personalized all our details and recommended the best vendors. We had out of state guests attend our wedding and Bridgewater Manor provided us with 2 local hotels that would be able to assist us. We were able to reserve a block of rooms at Bridgewater Marriott at a great price, thanks to Bridgewater Manor.
From picking a date, finalizing our menu, to the specific details of our day, the team at Bridgewater Manor was there every step of the way during the planning process. Every question was answered and every detail checked to make sure we were happy. Erin, Carissa, and Maryanne were always responsive whether it was by email or phone. As half of our bridal party was coming from out of state, Maryanne was able to accommodate our needs during the day of the rehearsal.
Aside from the budget, another main reason why we picked Bridgewater Manor was the outside grounds for our photos. It was cloudy with a chance of rain on the day of our wedding. We were able to do the first look outside and take some beautiful pictures before the ceremony started. Because we weren’t sure if it would rain or not, Maryanne was able to setup both the inside and outside of the venue to see where we would hold the ceremony. It wasn’t until 20 minutes before the ceremony started that we decided to go with an outdoor ceremony. I’m glad I went with my gut instinct. There was not one drop of rain during the entire ceremony!
My husband and I barely had time to try the food during cocktail hour, but the few bites that we did take were absolutely delicious! All our guests from California were shocked at the abundance of food during cocktail hour and the reception. We received compliments all through the night on how delicious the food was. The cake from Palermo’s was phenomenal. I had a lot of people asking where I got the cake from because it was absolutely delicious.
Adel, our maitre’d, was a pleasure to work with on the day of and paid so much attention to all the details. He pulled us aside before the reception started to show us our room. We were overjoyed as to how they transformed the Imperial room. Our centerpieces and décor, along with lighting made the room feel grand. We were astonished at how beautiful it was. Adel was with us the whole time and made sure all our needs were catered. He let us know exactly where and when we had to be at all times.
Thank you so much Bridgewater Manor for making our day unforgettable!

I was lucky enough to snag a date in early November at the Bridgewater Manor for a great price. From start to finish, I could not have been happier with the service. Erin, Carissa, and Pat were helpful and attentive to details during the planning process. Maryanne was there during the rehearsal and wedding and made sure that everything was taken care of. My husband and I never had to worry about a single thing because we knew we were in great hands.
I appreciated how the team at the Bridgewater Manor were willing to set the ceremony for either outside or inside and let me make a game-time decision based on the weather. I chose inside and have no regrets! It was beautiful.
Everyone should absolutely check out the Bridgewater Manor if you are looking for a venue that is professional and personal!

Our wedding on October 4 turned out to be the most perfectly beautiful day and was made possible by the Bridgewater Manor with only two weeks of planning! When I first spoke to Erin, she invited me to her office the very next day and with a few more helpful meetings, everything came together in the most remarkable way. We were married at the Church nearby and then afterward went to the Manor for our reception. The photographer, Doug from Torrin Photography, took us well in hand and we were comfortable and happy for all the photos especially on the grand staircase and throughout the rest of the night. There was a relaxing cocktail hour near the lovely balustrade upstairs with time to visit and enjoy our guests. We immediately felt the magic of the moment throughout the entire evening as we thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful food presentations which included many amazing hors d oeuvres, sculptured fruits and vegetables, a Captain's Table with carvings of meats extraordinaire and the buffet table where every entree was perfection and truly delicious. Kudos to Chef Dan! The outstanding staff, Adel the Maitre d' and Michael L. the bartender and Alejandra watched over every detail with extraordinary elegance and grace creating for us the most enchanting atmosphere. One of the most delightful moments was when Adel presented the 18th Century sword to cut the cake. We also appreciated his timely cues so that we were always in the right place at the right time. The ice cream bar and craft table for the kids was the best idea ever and they were happy and busy the whole time. Music for dinner and dancing was presented by Anthony from Sounds of Music Entertainment which followed our playlist and honored our request for a beautiful ambience throughout the night. Much gratitude to all and especially to Erin and Pat for turning our wedding plans into the most beautiful reality and a cherished memory forever.

I do not know where to start... from the first contact on the phone where they said they can do small weddings (we were 65) , yeahhhhh!!!!!!, to the first appointment with Erin everything was beyond expectations! Everyone at the Manor was at some point involved : from the date picked up to the end of our big day!!!
Every questions were answered, every details were checked to make sure we would be happy. Until "last minute" they worked with us to decide for an inside or outside ceremony as the weather was playful. We were lucky to have the sun out just for our ceremony, it was a crisp day but a great day. The outside is just gorgeous! pictures were great!!!
They also set up the room for us and it was like we imagined with attention to every details as I made my own center pieces.
Knowing our guests we asked for a second bartender and Maryanne did everything she could to make sure it happened and it did! Our guests were very, very happy with that as they did not have to wait in an infinite line!
The maitre d' (Mercedes) and the rest of her team were just amazing!!! Mercedes holds your hand from the minute you arrive at the Venue, until you leave. Making sure you have time to rest between the cocktail and the reception, showing you where to stand, what to do...Let's be honest, it is once in a life time for the couple but routine for her :)
The food....we still get comments from our guests about how delicious the food was! even the pickiest guests enjoyed every bite!
At the end you do not have to worry about taking everything back, you just enjoy YOUR day and they pack everything for you!
There are so many things behind the scene that help making this day the best of your life! I could talk about that day again and again.
Thank you to The Bridgewater Manor for making us so special!

My wife and I were married at the bridgewater manor october 14, and I couldnt ask for a better wedding. The food and service was the best. We both received the best compliments from everyone. Everyone I have talked to said the food during the cocktail hour was out of this world, and the main courses were excellent. I had the beef and loved it, my wife the salmon, which was so good i even liked it and i hate salmon.
Our maitre d , bartenders and servers did a great job. The bartenders remembered what i was drinking and practically had my drink made by the time i got to them. I would highly recomend The Bridgewater Manor to anyone looking for a wedding venue. I was more than pleased with our whole experience . A+++

I had my wedding at Bridgewater Manor this past weekend, my room was the Imperial, and I have no regrets. My maitre'd was Mercedes and she was amazing, she made sure everything was how I wanted it and was quick with getting additional appetizers and a bottle of champagne while we hung out in the bridal suite after the ceremony. Pat and Mary Ann in the office were a pleasure to work with, I had a tight budget and they worked with me so that I had the wedding of my dreams. I got compliments all night about the cocktail hour and titanic staircase that everyone loved taking pictures on. the steak and salmon dishes were delicious, my husband had a bite of my salmon and he loved it, and he hates fish. There were a few small hiccups at the end of the night, which I spoke to Pat and his office staff about on Monday morning, and they were extremely sympathetic and told me that they'd take care of it and would help make it right. However there's always gonna be one or two things that don't go as planned, so eve\ with those hiccups, to me the day was perfect. I also used one of their recommended videographer/ photographers, and I couldn't be more pleased. They came earlier than they had to, and made sure to get all the video/pictures I asked for, and were extremely personable and relaxed and an absolute joy to work with. I would recommend Bridgewater Manor to any of my friends. thanks for everything <3

One word. Surreal.
The whole process from beginning to end was seamless for our wedding 9/8/18. We are still on cloud 9. Where should I begin?
The staff was so excited during the whole process while planning our event. From picking a date, finalizing a menu, and perfecting the details to the day. Maryanne went through every detail for the day leading up to the wedding making sure our vision was executed perfectly . The owner Pat also took the time to be involved with the wedding which was exciting knowing that the owner was so hands on! They are willing to personalize any detail and recommend the best vendors for your event. The maitre d (Adel) and all the staff went above and beyond on our day. One big factor in picking our venue was the grounds for photos. Despite a little rain we were able to take some beautiful picture outside where we did our first look. The landscaping was just perfect. The ceremony was to be held outside but knowing it was going to rain they hustled to accommodate our ceremony inside. At first I was bummed because of our unbelievable flower arrangements but low and behold they brought everything inside to make it just as special. I truly wasn’t even phased it was just as beautiful. Now the good stuff, the food. Our guests are still talking about the food at the wedding the cocktail hour was unforgettable between our sushi station, gourmet meat and cheese station, and the tomahawk steak was to die for. So many good unique hors d’oeuvres. Our wedding menu was a hit. Chef Dan you killed it! Thank you to the Bridgewater Manor for making our day unforgettable.

My husband and I could not have been happier with our experience with the Bridgewater Manor. I had concerns (as every bride likely does), but this team assured me everything would be fine and it was. We were married outside, had absolutely beautiful weather and the grounds are amazing. I was concerned because there was another wedding there earlier that day and their decorations and flower petals were still everywhere while we took our first look photos. However, before any of my guests arrived the ceremony was set-up perfectly. Our Maitre D was amazing and they gave my Husband and myself some alone time in the suite with some of our cocktail hour food so we could eat! The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about the cocktail hour. When we were concerned that there was only going to be one bartender since we had a smaller crowd we reached out to the office team and they arranged for a second bartender (they were extremely accommodating). We did a first look and my bridal party, myself and my moms all got dressed in the bridal suite. Not having a wedding planner, working full time, and not knowing what I was doing was stressful at times, but Pat's team was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Even the break down of all the decorations and getting them back to us was painless. Thank you to the Bridgewater Manor Team for making our day everything we could've imagined.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Bridgewater Manor on 8/18/18.
Pros: Maryanne, Erin, Pat and the office staff are excellent and extremely organized and will answer every question and attend to all needs. they will work with you leading up to the day and "make sure" everything is perfect. they put out our decorations correctly and packed everything up for us neatly at the end of the night which I appreciated. they were helpful when we were unsure if it would rain for the ceremony (and it did!) but we were able to hold the ceremony outside. The food is EXCELLENT and our guests loved their meal and the food.
Cons: The entire bar situation. my guests informed me that during cocktail hour the line was extremely long and the solo bartender was overwhelmed and "couldnt mix drinks" (although I asked for 2 bartenders). we had signature drinks approved prior to the reception and several guests overheard her saying she didn't know how to make them. some guests said they didn't get to try a lot of the cocktail hour because they were waiting on line so long. finally another bartender came but my guests said he was very slow and also was overwhelmed. the maitre d had to step in at times to help the bar because the line was so long. but it got worse. they ran out of several vodkas and beers that night and guests had to order other drinks. when I asked the bartender why they were out of vodka, he gave me an attitude and said "thats managements issue." i spoke to my maitre d who assured me the vodka was on it's way but I'm not entirely sure if it ever came. my guests weren't on the dance floor during the reception because they were waiting on the bar line. my guests had to result to ordering two drinks or beers at once so they wouldn't have to spend so much time at the bar. towards the end of the reception, I went to the bar myself to get the brides signature drink and the bartender made it completely wrong. like, really, hello I'm the bride you could try harder!? I just walked away and didnt say anything because I didn't want to have an attitude at my wedding reception. i am bummed because it did put a damper on the evening and I didn't find out how bad the situation was until after the wedding. if I knew I would have addressed it then and there. I had emailed the office team prior to the wedding to let them know I needed at least two bartenders because I knew the type of crew (guests) I had but I guess they didn't believe me or gave me the worst bartenders on their staff.

We had an amazing experience with the Bridgewater Manor for our May 2018 wedding. Our maitre d', Mercedes, was amazing and cool as a cucumber when it came to a medical emergency mid-reception. She really went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our night was enjoyable. The venue itself was beautiful with flowers blooming and fountains flowing - a perfect spring wedding backdrop. My husband and I would highly recommend the Bridgewater Manor--the food, staff, atmosphere, and coordination were impeccable. The guests are still complimenting us on the food at cocktail hour and the sit-down dinner.

Our wedding was on April 28. It was the most beautiful ceremony and wedding ever! The grounds outside were beautiful. The inside facility was elegant. From start to finish the entire process was made easy thanks to all the staff at the Manor. They made sure that we were well taken care of and our guests. The food was amazing and plenty. You always have that one guest that complains about something. Well here I am days later and NOTHING! We are all still talking about how is was the most beautiful wedding we all have ever attended! We would like to thank all the staff for a wonderful job! Everyone was super nice and helpful. The staff made the day run so smoothly!

The Bridgewater Manor made our dreams come true! My husband and I were married there in November 2017 and cannot thank Pat and his staff enough for making our day so special! The wonderful staff exceeded my expectations and my lifelong dreams for my wedding. The vision of our theme was beautifully executed with the collaboration of the Bridgewater Manor and our selected vendors. Our guests continue to compliment us on choosing such an amazing venue and specifically refer to the great food and attentiveness of the staff. In planning our wedding in only 5 months, Pat and his team could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We are extremely grateful with their flexibility in offering a tremendous package that matched our budget with our desire to host an exceptional event. We selected the Bridgewater Manor as our wedding venue based on their value as well as the kind and genuine nature of everyone on the team. I will be forever thankful for them for making our wedding such a special day for us, our families and our friends!

We were thrilled with every part of our day at the Bridgewater Manor. From the initial planning process to the day of the entire staff was accommodating. I was a very prepared bride with a clear vision, and everyone I worked with at the Manor helped bring the vision to life! And most important to my husband and I - and all of our guests - the food was phenomenal!! High recommendations all the way around.

We were so happy with our choice to get married at the Bridgewater Manor. We got married on premise, and everything was flawless. The staff is absolutely wonderful, and they truly know what they are doing. You can tell this is a place that does a ton of weddings because they are orchestrated beautifully. I know there were other weddings going on but there was no issue with getting our ceremony started on time or getting there early to take photos.
The food is great. Unfortunately, as it goes, we didn't get to try much as we were so busy saying hello to everyone and taking photos. However, our guests really enjoyed, and the food tasting appt blew our socks off.
I had an issue with the DJ that we hired, but when I got in contact with the BWM for other possible solutions, Pat solved it for me within a 30 second phone conversation. When youre stressed out as a bride, those moments are such gifts. I really appreciated how they went above and beyond just to solve a small but very important detail, where our other vendor fell off.
Highly recommend checking out the Bridgewater Manor. You always hear how something will go wrong at your wedding and you'll have to let it go, but truly everything was perfect. Thank you to their wonderful staff.

Deciding to go with Bridgewater Manor was BY FAR the best decision. Pat and his team were amazing. I did not have one problem. They were able to work with me and make my dreams come true. The staff treated me like family. They are truly here to work with you. The service was excellent and the whole night went so smooth! The food was amazing! I still have people who attended the reception telling me about never seeing so much food and thanking me for an amazing time. The price was reasonable and I would DEFINITELY recommend Bridgewater Manor to everyone.

His assistants Erin, Mary Anne, Hassan and the captain, the wait staff was excellent. everything went perfect including the vendors that work with them SomEntertainment and Torrin photography. .. I would recommend this to Every bride and groom. The price is affordable worth every dollar. I did not stress one time . I feels like they are family not just a venue. :)

We had an amazing experience at Bridgewater Manor. I would have given it 5 stars except the chicken dish we ordered was made wrong and it came out a little bit dry. (They are giving me and my husband a free dinner to make up for it which is very kind) But other than that.. FANTASTIC. The owner Pat is very accommodating and understanding- everytime I was a question or concern he was more than happy to help. The venue itself is beautiful inside and out and all the staff members were very pleasant. My guests thought that the food during cocktail hour was exceptional. Overall great atmosphere. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking to book. It is affordable and you get more than you pay for. Thank you Bridgewater manor!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Bridgewater Manor on Sept 16, 2017. We were so happy with everyone we encountered there during the planning process and on our wedding day itself. We weren't sure if we would be able to have the ceremony outside due to rain earlier in the day, but MaryAnn and the Maitre 'D did everything in their power to make sure things were dried off and that there was an alternate room set up inside, and luckily the weather held out and we were able to have the outside ceremony. The ceremony area was beautiful and perfect for the number of guests we had which was 90. We had the Hunterdon room and were able to use the suite before and after the ceremony and they even set up cocktail hour food in there for my husband and I until we were ready to join everyone. The food was fantastic and many people raved about how they've never seen so much food in a cocktail hour before. The service was excellent during the whole day and we were very happy with everyone. I would definitely recommend Bridgewater Manor to anyone. You'll be very happy. We had a Saturday evening wedding and there are a few different rooms to choose from depending upon the size which was important as we were not having a large wedding. The price was more reasonable than many other venues we looked at. Excellent venue!

The staff was great, they set up our tables decoration the way we wanted (from the sample photos that we showed them) and after the party was over packed everything for us to go. Bridal suite is spacious which is a plus. Erin was super kind and helpful, always answering to emails and phone calls. Food was good and overall we and our guests had a wonderful night there. We highly recommend Bridgewater manor to any couple who want to have a wonderful wedding.

The Bridgewater Manor exceeded our expectations in every way. Pat, Erin and Rachel treated us well from the start, and quickly responded to our calls or emails all along. The day of my son and daughter in law's wedding, Marianne and Adel went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and that everything down to the smallest detail was perfect. The outdoor ceremony was lovely, with a lighted gazebo, lampposts and lush landscaping. The food and drinks at the cocktail hour and dinner were abundant and delicious. We highly recommend The Bridgewater Manor:)

I can't even begin to explain how amazing the Bridgewater manor was for our wedding day. From the beginning Pat was fantastic with explaining all of our options, showing us the grounds, and answering all of our questions. Once we booked this GORGEOUS venue, we then had constant communication with Erin, who never once left us in the dark. She kept a good timeline and gave guidance that was easy to follow taking the stress off of us. The tasting was PHENOMENAL and so fun as they allowed us to bring both our parents with us for an amazing night of food. When the big day arrived, the venue was set up EXACTLY as I pictured down to the last rose petal. The materdee was literally the most wonderful woman who made sure my husband and I had EVERYTHING at all times, seriously she really pushed our experience over the top with her attention to detail and service, we truly wanted for nothing she made every wish come true for us. We are over the moon about how our day went, and we are still getting calls/texts about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was! This venue was a dream come true and we HIGHLY recommend, hands down, the BEST!
