The Loft at Jack's Barn

would be, shall we say, “glamorous” enough for the wedding of my only daughter. I could not have been more wrong. The staff: This is a family-run business, and it shows. The personal service you receive from the owners is second to none. They walk you through every step and are available to answer all of your questions. Not only that, Darren, the owner, is there for the ENTIRE day, supervising set up, answering questions, and acting as your “day of planner”. He made the day run seamlessly while never getting you hyped up or worried. No one was left waiting around. Our guests could not get over the relaxed, smooth flow of the entire day. The wait staff was so organized, competent, and caring. They anticipated my every move and checked in with me to make sure all was running to my expectations. I am so grateful for that. The space: This space was completely transformed into something out of a Hallmark movie. The recommended florist (Karla’s Garden Studio) was simply amazing. She was there for hours with her staff, putting together our specified vision, and worked with the staff at Jack’s to incorporate all of the little extras we brought with us. The suites: If the barn itself didn’t sell the venue, the bridal suite sure did! SPECTACULAR! So spacious and practical, yet it was decorated like a perfect Victorian dollhouse room. The groom’s suite is beautiful as well. We were so comfortable and felt very much at home. The food: The food was the best wedding dinner I’ve had, and this is coming from a very picky Italian woman lol. The desserts were so, so good…and honestly very unique. I love the idea of selections such as peach cobbler! The bar: Incredible selections, friendly service, and people were not left waiting around. Outside vendors to consider: Jack’s Barn recommended a couple of vendors for a special touch. One was the chalk artist, who transformed the large chalkboard into a personalized piece of art. I was blown away by this. The other was the cannoli and coffee cart. I wasn’t sure I needed this…but I am so, so glad we decided to hire them. They set up an unbelievable coffee cart for the entire day and then served homemade cannolis. The carts offered an old-world vibe that was perfect in the barn’s space. The bottom line: You can have great food, a smooth day, and a beautiful venue…but there is that quality about a wedding that can’t be named. It comes from a genuine vibe that cannot be bought. Jack’s Barn provided that mystical quality. I am beyond happy, and again, I am an extremely picky person. Our guests were so impressed with it and commented on how refreshing it was to have something that was so unique. Thank you to Darren, Chris, Demi, and the entire staff.

lovely to work with. They do not up-charge for Saturday weddings (or any other day of the week) and their prices do not differ depending on the season. Every other venue we looked at had different prices for different days and seasons which is ridiculous. Their prices were completely reasonable. This is also a family run business and everyone we worked with, Darren, Chris, Gretchen, and Demi, were great with communication and responsiveness. My emails, texts, and questions were quickly answered no matter the day of the week. Second, they provide many choices of decorations you can borrow for your wedding (all included in your overall price). We saved so much money on decorations because we chose from their selection of table numbers, signage, card box, and various other decor items which they also set up. Basically all we brought were our centerpieces and drapery for the birch arch they have there. Third, the food was fabulous! We were a bit nervous because they don't do tastings but we were so happy with all of the food. Cocktail hour was lovely - we got the farm table, with passed apps of crab bites, spanakopita, lamb lollipops, scallop, and mozzarella in carrozza. Our guests complimented everything and the lamb, in particular, was a perfectly cooked medium rare. The salads (Jack's salad) and focaccia were wonderful and the entrees were hands-down the best entrees we have ever had at a wedding (I had the salmon, my husband had the short ribs - which were super tender and just perfect in every way). Our guests are still raving about the roasted chicken entree. I didn't get to try any of the desserts but they looked fabulous and people were going back for multiple helpings. Finally, the bridal suite was gorgeous and there was plenty of space to get ready and hang out before the wedding. You just need to bring your own food and drinks for the suite (there's a refrigerator downstairs to use). The groom's suite was cozy an my husband enjoyed hanging out down there with his groomsmen. Overall, the venue, the people, the food, just everything, could not have been better! Do not hesitate to book your wedding at Jack's Barn, you won't be disappointed!!

team at Jack's Barn for helping make our day more magical and perfect than I could even have envisioned

ct. Every single guest raved about how rustic and tasteful the venue was, the amazing food, and the fast/friendly bar tenders. And as a bride planning my own wedding on a tight timeline, they were helpful and responsive. My family stayed at the Manor and had a wonderful experience as well :) all the stars and highly recommend

rtable accommodations. We had a wonderful dinner in the formal dining room overlooking Belvidere, followed by good times and drinks in each of the sitting rooms after. The service, directions and responsiveness of the team is a 10/10.

h. The setting has ample space for guests, bridal and grooms party. Food delivered promptly, desserts were raved about and wedding day schedule went as planned.

d responsive which was amazing to work with. We got married the last weekend of October and we were so lucky to have a 75° outdoor ceremony at the beautiful venue that we had hoped for! Darren and his team truly have their entire system down to a science - and we always knew he was there when we needed anything. As a bride with a very Type A personality, I can truly say that when I walked into the venue the morning of, anything that I was worried about was gone immediately which was SUCH an amazing feeling. Not having a food tasting with Beanstalk Catering was odd to us as first, but now we completely understand that I was not necessary at all! ALL of the food was absolutely delicious and raves about! If you are looking for the most beautiful and rustic vibe, with amazing food and phenomenal customer service, this is your venue!

st knew this was the place! Darren and Demi were always super responsive with any questions that came up over the months leading up to the wedding. They made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day. Our groomsmen were doing their best to setup some of our decor while the ladies were all in hair/makeup, Darren didn't hesitate to jump in and assist and offer them guidance which was much appreciated. And their in house catering(Beanstalk Epicure) was amazing, I had so many people say it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. The day went perfectly!

oment we discovered this hidden gem in the countryside of Oxford, NJ, we knew it was the perfect venue for our intimate celebration. One of the first things that struck us about The Loft at Jack's Barn was the reasonable cost. So many other venues we looked at were absurdly expensive, making it difficult to find a place that fit within our budget. But Jack's Barn offered a fantastic value that didn't compromise on quality or charm. Darren and Demi, the owners of Jack's Barn, made the entire planning process a breeze. As an overwhelmed bride, I cannot express how reassuring and stress-free they made everything feel. They were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that every little detail was taken care of. Their expertise and guidance truly made a difference. Now, let's talk about the food. It was absolutely phenomenal! The flavors, presentation, and quality of the dishes were beyond our expectations. We weren't the only ones who thought so either. We received multiple texts from guests days after the wedding, expressing how much they loved the food. It's always a testament to a great venue when your guests can't stop raving about the cuisine. As for the venue itself, it was nothing short of enchanting. The Loft at Jack's Barn exudes charm and intimacy. The rustic yet elegant surroundings created a magical atmosphere that perfectly complemented our special day. The attention to detail in the decor and layout added an extra touch of beauty. We can confidently say that our wedding at The Loft at Jack's Barn was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. From the affordability to the outstanding service, this venue exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a charming, intimate, and beautiful venue for your special day, we highly recommend choosing The Loft at Jack's Barn. You won't be disappointed.

f the wedding which was really helpful. I didn't feel like I needed an additional wedding coordinator. The venue itself is beautiful and requires minimal decor. We were worried about them not offering a tasting beforehand, but trusted others reviews. In the end, everyone raved about the food and said it was great.

, the folks at Jacks' Barn were there at every step of the way. Our wedding was so seamless and special that we could focus on our friends and family without worries. We cannot say enough good things about Darren, Demi, Chris and all the support staff at Jack's. It was so wonderful that we didn't want the day to ever end. If you are getting married in the Oxford, NJ area, you'll never find a better place than The Loft at Jack's Barn.

. Any issues we had were immediately taken care of by the staff. Groom and bridal suites were both available and gorgeous. Highly recommend.

most likely do it without actually getting to see it, and ASAP because spots were filling up. We live in California, and my husband's family lives on the East Coast, so we knew we had to book a venue out that way. I had been looking for a venue and kept coming up empty handed. One day I happened to stumble upon The Loft at Jacks Barn when I was looking for a more farmhouse style instead of a hotel venue. Based on the pictures and video on their website, I fell in love. I sent the info to my husband, and he agreed that it was very much our style. I reached out to Darren and Demi about the venue. Speaking to them they were caught a bit off guard on us wanting to put down a deposit without seeing the venue. We didn't have much time since there was only 2 Fridays left in October 2022 for us to book, so we had to jump on it. Due to Covid, we had to postpone our trip out there in December 2022, and wouldn't actually get to visit the venue until April 2021. Fortunately, we were able to go visit (with my in-laws) and the venue exceeded our expectations. It had the cutest aesthetic and very rustic look that I love. Fast forward to September 2021 we lost my mother-in-law to Covid. We were unsure if we were going to continue with our wedding, but something about her being there with us to see it in person convinced me that we had to keep it. I can't say enough how amazing Demi and Darren are. Not only with being compassionate during our loss, but by planning this wedding from California, they were very communicative and timely with all responses. They made the process of picking items and finding other vendors seamless. The day of the wedding both Darren and Demi were there to assist us. Darren helped with all the decors. I showed him what I had brought and gave an idea of what I liked, but Darren set it up the best way he saw fit. The whole process was smooth before, during, and after. We brought decor that I wanted to donate through the venue like past brides. Their venue is a DIY, so everything that is left behind is allowed to be used for all future weddings. I loved that about them, and I wanted to do my best to pay it forward. We couldn't have been blessed with a better venue to have picked and a better family run venue than this one. Darren and Demi are top notch and will make your dreams come true. I would recommend any and all to come and take a look at this venue. You will fall in love!

ughout the time period in between we felt the communication was consistent, professional, and very prompt! Darren, Demi, and the rest of the team were great to work with and we felt very well taken care of and supported day of! Our family even made note that the staff was warm and attentive. The venue is so lovely and well taken care of, and we received many a compliment from our guests. The catering was also well received and had so many great options to choose from! (Do note that tastings are not offered.) Catering was quite good, as well as the desserts provided as part of the package! After our wedding day, we booked their manor house, Twenty Belvidere, to stay in that evening with our wedding party and were so impressed! The house is stunning and made for a memorable way to cap off our day. Highly recommended, all around!

ful. Darren made sure the whole day ran smoothly. Demi was so helpful especially leading up to the wedding and answering all my questions. I would recommend Jack's Barn to anyone looking to get married. Thank you so much for making our day so special! :)

beautiful. The food lived up to the hype. Many guests told me the food was very good. Everyone at Jack’s Barn definitely helped make our day memorable. It was more than I could have imagined.

ed in a quick and efficient manner whenever James and I had questions about any particular detail leading up to the big day. They were professional and provided exceptional detail throughout the planning process, answering any questions we had in a timely manner. Throughout our Wedding Day, they made sure everything went smoothly. The catering was superb and exceeded our expectations- we still have friends and family who still talk about the delicious entrees and desserts that were made by their catering company, Beanstalk. We highly recommend The Loft at Jack’s Barn to anyone looking to have any event. We cannot thank Darren, Demi, and the team at the Loft at Jack’s Barn for making our wedding one of the happiest days of our lives.

ted to get married in a barn, and she and her husband fell in love with The Loft at Jack’s Barn. Summary: Dressing rooms are Rey nicely done Great grounds, beautiful gardens Darren and Demi are great to work with Location is very unique and well laid out from both a decorative and a logistical standpoint Service was spot on Food was excellent - especially the hors d’oeuvres. All freshly made, all outstanding. Great desserts, too. Nice touch - beautiful sunny day for the ceremony outside, and they handed out parasols to all the women as they went to sit down. All in all, a great day.

comfortable as soon as we walked inside. The space is gorgeous with beautiful lights and the most charming, cozy decor that my guests adored. They have so many decorations and items for couples to borrow to make their weddings look amazing. Demi was there every time I had to change details and was always there to give a recommendation, help pull off ideas, and just make the experience more calm and fun for both of us. They coordinated our ceremony, vendors, and the whole reception to a T. My guests said the food was the best wedding food they've ever had, and seeing everyone enjoy was a highlight of our night. Darren and Demi are sop personable and willing to help their couples out, and there are so many options for different budgets. If you are interested in Jack's Barn but on the fence, I say don't hesitate. You will literally have no regrets.

ren, Chris, and Demi, along with the entire staff, absolutely blew us away. They guided us through the whole planning process and helped us find vendors that would be perfect for us. They were also super accommodating when it came to special requests and vendors that were new to Jacks. I had a very specific vision for my day and even though it poured rain, I couldn’t have asked for a better day. The getting ready space was stunning. It felt so dreamy to get ready up there. I had my four bridesmaids, and all the moms and grandma and there was plenty of room. The makeup artists loved it too because of the great set up. The food was incredible. We chose their bbq option and everyone loved it! The cocktail hour food was delicious too! The staff made sure that we had plenty of food and that we weren’t stressing ourselves out about anything. We were able to really let go and actually have fun with our people! Everyone said that the day felt so intimate, cozy, and so much fun! I was told it was one of the best weddings they’d been to by many people which is so cool to hear and is thanks to Jacks! I couldn’t believe how quickly the day went by but when it did, the staff took care of everything and I barely had to lift a finger Al day. The Jacks Barn Family has officially become part of ours and we can’t wait to go to another wedding there sometime soon!

do our walk through and he was so helpful. He answered all our questions and even helped us with things we didn’t think to ask. Once we signed the contract our main contact was his daughter Demi who was equally amazing. I could text her whenever with questions and she always got back to me super quickly. She was also the day of coordinator and I didn’t see her until the ceremony was starting but I’m guessing that’s because she was getting shit done because everything was perfect when I went out. Everything was set up exactly how I wanted and everyone was where they needed to be. The only hiccup of the day was we started 15 minutes late but that was my decision. Demi told me there were only about 20 people out of 85 there and we did hear some people were stuck in traffic. So she suggested we started late and I agreed and I’m so happy we did because everyone ended up making it. The venue is perfect if you’re looking for a rustic/vintage venue. The fact that the dinner space is totally separate from the dancing space is perfect. You could sit at the tables if you didn’t wanna dance and it wasn’t too loud. And you were still able to see the dance floor. So everyone felt included the entire time. And the food was AMAZING. We got sooo many compliments. The cocktail hour was mostly passed hors d’oeuvres which I love because who wants to hold a drink and try and eat with utensils at the same time, or sit down. Generally people want to mingle but there were still plenty of seats during the cocktail hour if anyone needed it. People were standing by the kitchen door to grab the food as it came out so they didn’t miss anything and there was PLENTY. Dinner was even better. No complaints. I would recommend this venue to anyone. Like I said, no hiccups, it was the most perfect day. And the staff made it everything I could’ve dreamed of and more.

mendations to help guide us throughout the wedding planning process. We loved the flexibility the venue afforded. My husband and I really love fine wines and one of the selling points was that we were able to curate a very nice wine and cocktail list. The team at the Loft at Jack's Barn made our wedding day vision come together perfectly. All of our guests loved the comfortable venue and have been raving about it for weeks. We can't say enough about our experience. We highly recommend The Loft at Jack's Barn, we loved it so much we are trying to think of a reason to have another party there!!

location and the hospitality and professionalism of Darren and Demi. The barn is a work of art that only gets better with each new touch that Darren and his family add. The grounds, bridal suite, groomsmen suite, and barn itself are all incredible. All of our guests commented on what a beautiful location we had chosen for our wedding. We loved that there was a TON of decor such as votives, seating charts, and card boxes that we could borrow from the barn to minimize our other expenses. Our only consideration for future couples is that Jacks is a DIY venue which requires a little bit of set up and planning. However it is SO worth it. With that extra time and effort, we were able to completely customize our vision and have a perfect day. Darren, Chris, Demi, and Casey were wonderful in assisting with the entire process and we highly recommend their venue to couples looking to have a beautiful, unique day. In addition to their services, we took into consideration their recommendations for our photographer (Nick Speer), bus service (Snyder Bus), chalkboard lettering (Stellabird Creative) and DJ (Fantasy Productions). By booking the whole Jack’s “dream team”, we felt like we couldn’t have been happier with the day!

everything about this venue is absolutely lovely. We explored a few of the other barn venues in NJ and found Jack's Barn to feel much more authentic and charming than the glitzy, glam, "faux" barns of northern NJ. If you are looking for a vintage, rustic feel, this venue is really worth checking out. Additionally, there is a gorgeous carriage house, on site, attached to the reception area where the bridal party can get ready. There is also a lot of creative liberty with planning - we were provided with a list of preferred vendors and attended a showcase where we were able to meet many of these vendors. This allowed us to very easily find a florist (Strange Vine Studio), caterer (Franco Vitella Catering), officiant (Maureen Jeffries), and photo booth operator (Metro Photobooth Bus) that really knew the venue and could play to its strengths. As someone who has never planned a wedding before and didn't know the first thing about it, the process ended up being rather seamless and low-stress for me. My only critique: My husband and I got married on a very hot day in June and it did take a bit of time for the AC to kick in inside the reception area. This did not bother us personally as we were genuinely having a blast, but I know a few of our older guests were a bit disgruntled with the heat.

de us through the day. Even though their venue is DIY the whole staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had nothing to worry about. Jack's Barn was the first venue we looked at, and we knew right away that this was the place where we wanted to get married. The venue is beautiful both inside and out. We also used their catering services, Beanstalk Catering, which was AMAZING. The wait staff and bartenders were fantastic. Demi and Darren were a pleasure to work with, easy to communicate with, and overall gave us the experience of a life time. Our guests, and even our vendors, could not stop raving about how perfect every detail was. We have zero regrets and if we could we would do it all over again without changing a thing!

etail. With regard to the venue, it basically speaks for itself! My guests can’t stop talking about it. If I could have another wedding I would do it again at Jack’s Barn!

s so homey and comfortable. Demi and Darren were so helpful and great to work with the past two years even with postponing due to covid; our November date switched to April and it was so smooth! The whole venue inside and out is beautiful and rustic itself! I loved how they had lots of decoration already there to choose from, being kind of diy it was really nice and comforting not having to buy a lot of stuff! Overall, it was a beautiful venue with beautiful people and we loved every second of it!

exible and kept us informed every step of the way. They went the extra mile and made permanent changes to the venue so it could be used for our wedding and I am so thankful for that. I don’t know of any other venue that really prioritized their customers they way they did. Aside from how great Demi and Darren are the venue it’s self is beautiful. It’s rustic and elegant our pictures came out beautiful. The bridal suite is perfect I loved getting ready there. If your looking for a beautiful unique and elegant venue this is it.

ommodating. They both worked with us every step of the way and made us both feel like home. Chris was our officiant and he was the most sweetest person you can ever wish to marry you. We want to thank all three of you for making our wedding day so magical. You Rock!!! xoxo Maria & Dorota

mi, who was accommodating, informed, and helpful. However, small issues arose on the day of our wedding that my husband and I were able to overlook until a month after the fact when the owner, Darren, withheld a quarter of the damage deposit due to his perception of disrespect on the part of our bridal parties. Over the phone, and in writing, Darren agreed that no damage had been done to his property and we did not break the contract. However, he believes that our bridal party intentionally removed no smoking signs that he put up in the suites. Even though no cigar or cigarette smoking took place and no damage was done, Darren withheld the full refund of our damage deposit because of presumed disregard. My husband and I apologized for our friends and family if anyone had intentionally taken down signs, assured him we did not see this occur at all or even notice the signage, and even asked if it was plausible if signs fell or were just in a different spot than perhaps he remembered. Darren told us it was impossible that a printed out from a computer sign could have fallen off the wall. He stands his ground that because a sign was found on the table in the groomsmen suite than it must have been intentionally taken down and therefore he felt disrespected and withheld money owed back to us. On the day of the wedding, items and decor that were agreed upon along with the layout for seating was not provided. Darren’s dogs were walked on the grounds and property to relieve themselves in sight and view of guests. And even though we were prepared to begin clean up after the wedding concluded at 10pm, we were immediately rushed out the doors and could not say goodbye to guests properly or gather all of our belongings. This venue, although beautiful, is not worth the aggravation. Darren makes it very apparent that he does not actually want his barn to be a wedding venue.

us through the whole process and setting up walk throughs at the last minute. The best part is you can rent decor for the night! You won’t be disappointed if you book Jack’s barn for your wedding or any other event!

ssed with a rustic elegant charm like no venue I've been to. The owners are most accommodating and eager to make your day flawless. Great venue, great hosts, check it out!

is gorgeous, elegant with a comfortable at home feeling. I highly recommend having your next event at Jack's Barn.

through every step. All our guests enjoyed every minute! Would definitely recommend to all my friends and anyone soon to be newlyweds. Our day at Jack’s Barn was perfect. We wish Darren, Chris & Demi all the best. Thank you so much!

ens outside makes for a gorgeous day. The wedding that I attended was outdoors and it couldn’t have been a more memorable event. The family style farm tables, high ceilings and bridal room took my breath away from the first moment I walked in. If I wasn’t already married, I would be getting married there for sure. My daughter (who’s 17) has already said that’s where she wants to be married. :) A place I highly recommend to anyone especially brides to be. You won’t be disappointed, on the contrary it’ll be a wonderful day you’ll never forget.

as charming as the swing music and Gatsby era details. The ceremony beneath the oak trees was lovely and sweet. And dinner afterwards was served inside with a warm glow and a certain panache. There are delightful touches at every turn to inspire a romantic evening here. We hope to come back soon and highly recommend this place!

stunning! Rustic, elegant,inviting. Kudos to the owners for creating such an incredible space!

ndor and every time I walk into this rustic, elegant space it takes my breath away and makes me feel happy! Highly recommend!

e of a kind here in NJ.

nd a Surprise 50th Birthday there. Both events were gorgeous and ran smoothly from beginning to end with the help of Darren and Demi. We are looking forward to using the Loft again in the future and highly recommend this venue. During the wedding, we all stayed at their Mansion at 20 Belvediere . Gorgeous, gorgeous place with a shuttle to The Loft.

t it elevates the experience to another level. I've worked with them for years as a vendor and continue to be surprised by the improvements they are constantly making to the design of the space, as well as the guest experience - especially when I feel like it's already perfect! Highly recommend!

enue a father his partner and daughter are just amazing. They were very professional and have a heart and go that extra mile for your special day. I definitely suggest that you want a beautiful country wedding look at the loft at Jack's barn you will not be disappointed.

nts on the unique space and the charm of the venue, and everyone had a great time. Darren and Demi were always very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had, and I had a lot of them! They thoroughly worked with us along the way to make sure that we had a great day. We were also supposed to stay at their sister property, 20 Belvidere both the night before and the night of our wedding. However, there was an unfortunate situation with a broken boiler the day before our wedding that made this impossible. This threw a major wrench into a lot of plans, but Darren offered to help us secure other accommodations quickly, which was appreciated as there was not much time to do so. They then allowed early entrance to the bridal suite and were very flexible and accommodating as our needs changed. Our rehearsal dinner was also scheduled to be at 20 Belvidere, and Darren was kind enough to let us hold our dinner there even with the boiler issue. Since there was no heat, he and his staff made sure that the fireplaces were lit and constantly manned so our guests and the catering staff could be comfortable. Our wedding day also had some unexpected challenges, but Darren, Demi, and Chris worked with us to make sure that everything ran as smoothly as it possibly could. The extra efforts they undertook were greatly appreciated, and I feel confident that they would go above and beyond for future couples as well. They are professional, detail oriented, and truly care about the couples and families they work with.
