The Mansion at Mountain Lakes

new we found THE place. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and I loved the subtle differences between the cocktail hour space and the ballroom. It was so different yet cohesive. While the rooms were gorgeous it was the people that sold us. Your wedding is such an important day and while the space and food are important so are the people. Throughout the process, Jim and Nancy were fantastic. Even though COVID required us to make some changes, Jim and Nancy made us feel comforted that despite these changes we would still have a beautiful day. They did not disappoint! Jim and Nancy worked with us on all the specifics we wanted even going as far as getting us gelato (it's how my husband proposed), which was not as easy as you would think. The extra effort they put in just made it all that more special. They day of our wedding was perfect! Jim, Nancy, Bianca, and Nick did such an incredible job, we didn't have to worry about a thing, it was all handled for us. We always had drinks in our hands and everyone made sure we were fed, which is very difficult when you are being pulled in a million different directions. The staff was incredible and the food, OMG! Everyone raved for weeks after the wedding about the food. We had people telling us it was one of the best weddings they have been to and that would not have been possible without the care and attention to detail that Jim, Nancy, Nick, Bianca, and the rest of the team put into our day. We couldn't recommend the Mansion more. It should be at the top of your list of venues to look at!

after party at the mansion. Everything was amazing and people are still raving!

e had a total of 320 guests and it seemed as if the food was never ending! From the time we booked our wedding date Jim and Nancy made us feel like family and eased any of our wedding worries. On the day of our wedding Bianca and Nick were there to ensure everything ran smoothly and took care of all our needs without hesitations. If you're looking for an affordable high class venue this is the place! Thank you to everyone at The Mansion for all their help in creating one of the most unforgettable and special moment of our lives! Jackie M

tively, Nancy, Bianca, and Nick were a tremendous resource and helped us navigate through the process. Our guests are still raving over how delicious the food was and the donut wall we included was a big hit! Overall, we definitely recommend The Mansion at Mountain Lakes for anyone looking to host a picture perfect wedding.

verything leading up to it was perfect, and we could not have been happier with our day. Jim & Nancy are absolutely amazing and very accommodating. The planning process was extremely easy. In fact, it was the easiest part of our wedding planning process. We knew from the moment we walked in that we wanted to get married there. Nancy was always available to answer any questions we had, and she worked with us to make sure we had the best day ever! The food is superior to other venues and all the rooms are beautiful. We had our ceremony and reception all at the mansion. Jim, Nancy, Nick, and Bianca were all amazing. I personally would not have survived the day without Bianca! Our guests could not stop talking about the venue, especially its overall look, service, and food! We can only hope that we get to attend a wedding there so we can experience it as guests.

l. Also, Bianca the bridal attendant was my savior! We went with a lot of their preferred vendors and were very happy with them as well. I would love to attend a wedding here and hopefully one day host another event of my own!

s and details were always easy to understand, in our best interests and kindly thorough. The "Chip and Joanne Room" was our selling point for the ceremony & that big long bar in the ballroom was a GREEN LIGHT GO! When we took my mom to see the space before we reserved, "Uncle Jim" as I call him, walked her out to the parking lot as she had just recently had hip survey. Point being, you feel like family when you are working with them. (Hi Olivia!!!<3) I work in events as my full time job, so (Mike) and I both gave Nancy and Jim a heads up that I was going to be a PIA, but they didn't make me feel that I was :) Chef came in helped us in our food choices meeting as I was trying to incorporate figs - so he was able to create a special salad for us that was perfect for the season. There was no request that didn't get met & no laugh that wasn't had in the process. Olivia was awesome with drop off the Thursday before our big day and took complete control of making sure everything was out and certain spots...THANK YOU LOVE! The bridal suite was incredible - it was a huge plus that we were able to get ready on site & bring our hair and make up ladies there. We ordered trays from Wegman's which we were able to keep in the 2nd room which spread everything out really well. Our bridal attendant and MaitorD Nick were all over us, making sure we had a fresh drink and hot food whenever we sat down or went back to our area.... Major shout to the appetizers before intros and for helping with the dress malfunction! Our guests said that cocktail hour was amazing -- We kept getting feedback about the tartare shooters, the short ribs and the Ocktoberfest station were out of this world. We are big NJ brewery people & they even let us bring in some of our favorite local beers as that was really important to us. We served a filet and stuffed shrimp for dinner & multiple guests said that the filet was perfectly cooked -- YAY! Our cake was from The Little Cake and included in our package, it was the most beautiful cake I've ever seen and we loved working with them as well! MML Team -- Thank you for your hard work, attention to detail, love and awesome memories! It was truly an amazing day and you really outdid yourselves with all dreams that were brought to life! Thank you X100! <3Lynda and Mike

l surroundings, our pictures are amazing. From start to finish our day exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process, Jim, Nancy, Nick, and Bianca, were nothing less than perfect! They made the days before and the day of stress-free. The Mansion provides wonderful service, excellent food, and truly were attentive to all our needs and wants. Our guests are still talking about the beauty of the venue, impeccable service, and quality of the food. You won't be disappointed choosing this venue! Marissa and Joe Peluso

look and theme I was going towards just worked so well with The Mansion. Our wedding was amazing . Great environment, great food, great staff. if you are looking for a venue for any event The Mansion is the place.

th and made every vision that we had become a reality. The food, the decor, the elegant beauty of each room makes it the perfect venue! 3 months later and we still have guests commenting about the wedding!

staff is one of a kind. When our guest walked into the mansion they were in true shock of the beauty of the place and the renovations that were done. OMG the food was out of this world! We had a little of everything Chinese’s, Italian, Spanish, fish and our guest were amazed by how delicious it was. If your looking for impeccable service, great food and wonderful staff this is your wedding venue. Can’t wait to host our future events at the Mansion. Thank you all for making our day so truly amazing!

ple tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to, even months later. The entire planning process was so seamless for me and my husband. They accommodated all of our requests and timeline. Our maitre d and bridal attendant knocked it out of the park for us. The bridal suite is brand new and so gorgeous. Everything was taken care of, everything was so beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was amazing! You feel like you are part of a family when you work with this venue. I can not recommend The Mansion enough. Thank you Jim, Olivia, Nancy, and the entire staff at The Mansion for helping us create the perfect day for our wedding!

im, Nancy, Linda, Olivia, Nick, Bianca & the rest of the crew were just so amazing to work with! I had a million and one questions and they were always to responsive and happy to answer my questions. They made our wedding day one I will never forget...it was honestly so perfect! I'm grateful to Bianca (our bridal attendant the night of) because she made sure we ate something during cocktail hour and had a moment to ourselves amongst the chaos. They really took care of us and made the night one for the book! Thank you @ The Mansion at Mountain Lakes! I 110% highly recommend this venue. It's beautiful, the people are wonderful, and the food is TO DIE FOR!

stressful. To this day, we still get compliments from our guests about how great the venue was! The food, the service, and the attention to detail was amazing!

enue search. When we came for our first visit that quickly changed because they had everything we were looking for and more. From the very start Nancy was responsive and amazing to work with throughout the booking process. Then the venue coordinator, Olivia, took over in answering all of my (very many) questions. Despite my extremely type-A personality wanting to know everything they were never anything other than helpful and polite. Fast forward to the day before- I dropped all of my DIY projects off with the Maitre d’, Nick, and was told to relax and enjoy the next couple days as they would take care of everything…and they did! Between Nick and the bridal attendant, Bianca, all of our needs were taken care of. Bianca acted like my Secret Service making sure I got where I needed to be and even keeping me calm as I waited to walk down the aisle. My husband and I agreed that we want Nick and Bianca around all the time just as our friends! Everyone who worked there made us feel like a part of their family and looked after my husband and me all day long. Besides my excellent experience, our guests have also remarked on how much they enjoyed the whole evening. We’ve heard from multiple people that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, that the venue was gorgeous, and the staff was on top of everything- from making sure water glasses were never empty to providing any special meals or needs for our guests. No wedding day ever goes exactly according to plan, but if anything did go wrong my guests and I never knew- I can only assume that the staff at the Mansion at Mountain Lakes quickly and quietly fixed any problems that arose. The space itself is all brand new and decorated in a neutral color palette that allows your vision to come to life and stand out instead of competing with what is there. Each room is filled with lovely natural light which makes your pictures look great! Go take a look at the Mansion at Mountain Lakes if you’re at all considering it and Nancy, Jim, Olivia, Nick, and Bianca will all convince you that this is the right place for your special day!

autiful the venue was, and also how much food there was! Someone said to me, "I thought the cocktail hour was the meal!" Jim, Nancy, and Olivia were awesome to work with as well! They answered all my questions in a timely manor and worked around my schedule for calls and visits, since I live in TN. Nick and Bianca, who were my Maitre D' and Bridal attendant on the day of, knocked it out of the park! Anything that I wanted or needed, they made happen! The flow of the wedding from the ceremony to cocktail hour, to the reception went so smoothly. They know what they are doing there! I would recommend The Mansion to anyone!!

ave been the same without Nick (our maitre d) or Bianca (our bridal attendant)! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. We had our reception in the main ballroom which had a more romantic feel and were also able to enjoy the rustic parts of the venue for our cocktail hour. Our guests are still raving about our wedding from the venue itself, the awesome staff and of course the food! We would highly recommend the Mansion to anyone looking for their wedding venue!! Wish we could do it all again.

ancy, they made me love The Mansion even more! They were both SO helpful & knowledgeable. The decor, the food, the service, the venue, the staff, EVERYTHING about The Mansion was PERFECT. All my guests raved about my wedding and it’s really all thanks to The Mansion at Mountain Lakes! Thank you Olivia, Nancy, Bianca, Jim, & Nick

a rockstar!!!! She was there every step of the way for me and when my bustle lost several ribbons she went on a mission to make it her top priority to find them and make the bustle good as new again. She really made the day so much less stressful knowing she was by my side. Our guests are still raving how much fun they had and that is was the best wedding they have ever attended!! This was the BEST decision we ever made!

From the room of our rustic ceremony to our more modern styled reception hall, they have the perfect mix of both. I am an anxious and neurotic person by nature but between emails and calls the staff is there for you from start to finish and as a bride, that’s worth so much. Our guests loved the venue especially our cocktail hour which had everything from tavern style food to an oriental station. Have you seen their bridal suites? All the room you need for your party to get ready and still have room to relax!! We made the right decision when we booked here for our October 11, 2019 wedding. Now all we need is another reason to book the team at The Mansion again!!

peaking with Olivia and Jim, we knew that this venue was going to be where we started our forever. We even booked the same day! What really sold me was that we had the whole venue to ourselves the day of the wedding so we weren't running into any other weddings. From the first moment walking into the Mansion, to the minute we left on our wedding day, Olivia, Jim & the team were such a pleasure to work with. Olivia answered all of my emails throughout the year SO fast and Jim worked with us to ensure we had the most perfect day. The day of the wedding, our bridal attendant, Bianca, literally made our whole wedding party feel like family. She is extremely professional, helpful, sweet (I can go on and on!) This is of no fault of the Mansion but my photographer thought it was a brilliant idea for me to be on grass the day after it was pouring rain and my dress had gotten mud on it (20 minutes before I walked down the isle) and Bianca and Olivia got the situation under control, brought me into the bridal suite and worked MAGIC! You couldn't even tell anything had happened to my dress. I normally would have been freaking out but I knew that Olivia and Bianca were all-stars and would make sure my dress was perfect. All of my wedding guests RAVED about the food! Cocktail hour was nothing we've ever seen and were completely blown away. I hope someone I know gets married at the Mansion so I get to go back, eat the delicious food, and see the team that made sure we had the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!! Thank you The Mansion at Mountain Lakes!!

rge guest list we had. Everything from the food, drinks, appetizers, all the way to lighting in the ballroom was beyond perfect and more than we could have asked for. The gorgeous white and elegant bridal suite makes it a dreamy spot to get ready for the big day while capturing pictures with your bridesmaids. Cocktail hour was by far the best food we have ever eaten. We had a long list of requests we wanted, which included a fresh mozzarella station, a suckling pig, and a Chinese food station. Not only did The Mansion make this all come to life, they made the stations so real with Chinese takeout containers and chopsticks. Cocktail hour was more than we could have asked for. The Mansion does a fantastic job making the ballroom what you envision it to look like from the way the napkins are folded to the color of the lights in the room. The beautiful staircase from the bridal suite makes for a grand entrance for the bride and groom. The dinner was over the top with the portion sizes and the quality of the food. All our guests were raving over their dinners. The Mansion’s grounds offer picturesque spots for your bridal party pictures. Bianca, our bridal attendant knew what we needed before we could even ask. Every room in The Mansion has its own unique feel which made our wedding fabulous. If you’re looking for a stress free elegant wedding, The Mansion is the place for you. Thank you to everyone at The Mansion for making our wedding unforgettable and wishing we could relive it over and over again!

always friendly and we’re there for anything we needed. Olivia was so wonderful to work with. She made thoughtful suggestions that made all the little details come together perfectly. I cannot say enough! The venue is newly renovated, and stunning. The perfect blend between classic and rustic. You get a little of everything and they allow you to use any combo of rooms you want to customize the feel of the day. We chose the back room and the ballroom and it was perfect. The food is to die for! My husband and I made a point not to miss any of our food and it was worth every second. Not only is there a huge volume of everything you could ever want but it was delicious!! Everyone keeps complementing us on our food! The level of service and quality is completely unmatched. They made us feel like the only people they were working with and spent so much time making sure everything went off without a hitch. We could not be happier with our experience working with everyone at the Mansion!!

as fantastic, Bianca, my bridal attendent, was amazing. Picture perfect day. Thank you so much!
