The Mansion at Mountain Lakes

ake sure we had the perfect day and and it really truly was. Ellie has been my main point of contact for the past year and she was always so responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the venue. She made sure to answer all of my questions as quickly as she could which really helped to ease the stress of the planning process. On my wedding day, Ellie was like an extra photographer and took some beautiful photos and videos that I am so incredibly grateful for. She even sent everything to me before the night had ended, which was all the more special. Annemarie was my bridal attendant and she was the greatest addition to my wedding day. From the minute we stepped into the venue until our very last moment there, she was waiting on us hand and foot to ensure we had an incredible experience. She was so hardworking, super friendly, and everyone in my bridal party loved having her with us. She truly went above and beyond for all of us, and I am so appreciative for all that she did. I can't thank Nick and Jim enough for everything. From the food, to the decor, to the timeline, my day ran smoothly because of them. Even with some of our crazy requests, they were both so accommodating and made all of our wedding dreams come true. My guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue was or about how amazing the food tasted. Even with a phenomenal cocktail hour, our guests were pleasantly surprised with just how yummy the main courses were. All around, this team was absolute perfection -- my day was stress free and enjoyable because of all their hard work. I will forever be grateful that I found this venue, and wish I could relive it all again. I cannot thank them enough!!!!

nt!

was a pleasure to work with: responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. And the food… AMAZING. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. From the cocktail hour to the main courses, every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We couldn’t be happier with our choice.

easy to work with. The venue is gorgeous and conveniently located. The staff made sure every detail was perfect on the day of. Food was excellent too--we got lots of compliments from our guests on our cocktail hour selection and on the service. Overall, we had an excellent experience and are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day perfect.

ow you and your family and remembers your name when you walk through the door every time. Our guests are still raving about our cocktail hour and the ball room. We highly recommend having your wedding here and felt that our money was put to good use.

enues we went to, it also had the best bang for our buck. It was a beautiful and really spacious set-up, with many areas for guests to take a breath/pause, both inside and outside the building. The food was so, so plentiful (and delicious) as well. The owner, Jim, cares enough about the events at the Mansion to be there himself and make sure they’re running flawlessly. Having so many great vendors put together on our behalf made it much less arduous to plan our wedding, and having such experienced coordinators made the process smoother as well. I actually was able to enjoy the process. The day itself perfectly - people are still telling us how much fun they had and how well-taken care of they felt! I could keep going, but I’ll save you some time and say just book a visit. You’ll love it.

venue. The Mansion was the first venue we looked at, and the hospitality from Jim and Nancy was unmatched at every other place we looked. They were so wonderful to work with. They were transparent about EVERYTHING and so reliable. Our guests were blown away by the incredible cocktail hour. We especially loved the overall package they offer that includes so much variety. It was unlike any other place we looked. You can tell both Nancy and Jim are experts in what they do, and they do a fantastic job in making sure everything you need is taken care of. We cannot recommend this place enough for any type of event!

ick was such an amazing help the day of the wedding. He made sure everyone knew where to go and what to do. The bridal attendant was AMAZING! So helpful and really made me feel so special. Everyone was extremely professional and helpful. The food was great! Everyone is still talking about the food. Cocktail hour was the best! So much space for everyone. We had our ceremony inside in the Bellhall Grand room and it was perfect! The venue is perfect for pictures inside and outside. The Mansion at Mountain Lakes is truly the most amazing place to get married.

hole team is, especially Nancy and Jim, the communication was fast and easy, they truly made my wedding night the best night ever! 10/10 recommend having your wedding here, you’ll be in the best hands!

stages, Jim and Nancy made sure we had everything we wanted to include on our day. They would answer any and all questions from day 1. During the wedding, Nick and the bridal attendant were attentive and catered to our every need. Two months later, our guests are still raving about how beautiful The Mansion’s rooms were and how delicious the food was. The cocktail hour’s spread was magical and was one of our guests’ favorite part of our wedding. We had our cocktail hour in the Bellhall Grand Room, which allowed us to have more of a rustic feeling with beautiful woodwork and barn doors. Our main reception was in the Grand Ballroom, tying in an elegant vibe that our guests were impressed with. The room came out beautiful! We highly recommend The Mansion - you will not regret it!

y question I had was answered so quickly by Nancy who was extremely kind, attentive, and truly just the best! I wanted simple and elegant with a few personal touches and they worked to make my vision coming to life! Everything was absolutely perfect and went seamlessly on the day of. My bridal attendant was also the BEST! It was truly the best day ever and I couldn't recommend the venue enough!! Wish we could do it all over again!

red a lot of flexibility with planning the menu and wedding package, which is something we found lacking at other venues we visited. We had multiple meetings along the way to make sure every detail was accounted for and the day of the wedding I truly had nothing to worry about. From the arrival of the guests to the set-up for day-of, everything was taken care of for me and all I had to do was show up. It was an amazing day and I'm so glad we chose the Mansion for our special day! Shout to Michelle for helping us so much with the little details and taking extra time to answer my emails when I had questions. Highly recommend!

not stopped recommending to other couples. They were consistently available for any questions and worked with us on any hiccups through the process. We will be coming back for future events!

here is a enough space for a 350-person indoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The bridal suite was fantastic, and many guests complimented the staircase in the ballroom. Nancy and Jim were a pleasure to work with, and our special day went smoothly thanks to them and the Mansion staff. The bridal attendants were also so helpful and sweet. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

p! Nancy helped me every step of the way even when I was slow to return my “homework”…she was patient but focused and helped keep me on track! The day of…I with there was a word that could sum up everything I felt about the day! It was nothing short of everything I dreamed of. Nick was outstanding he was so pleasant and helpful and my family raved about how attentive he was to them and all the guests loved him! My bridal attendant Gabriella was amazing she kept us where we needed to be and made sure we had everything we needed all day. The food was endless, the guests were surprised to get dinner after the cocktail hour since there was so much food at the cocktail hour! My family and friends are still talking about the wedding and said we need to throw one every weekend and claim it to be the best wedding ever! I’m sure it wasn’t only because my husband and I were beaming and in heaven all night but because of the property, the food, the BAR, and all of the people who worked so hard to make that night pure perfection! The only thing I wish was different was that it went on for four more hours.

on-the-smaller-side wedding. Also, the bridal attendant was amazing! Thank you to the Mansion for helping make our wedding day a day we'll always remember!

e day of the wedding. I cannot thank the staff enough for making our wedding day a dream come true. I already plan on trying to have future events there in the future!

we walked in. The venue itself is beautiful and truly did not disappoint in anyway . The food was delicious! Our guest talked for days about how great everything was. The staff was attentive and helpful. They were accommodating to anything we asked throughout our very long engagement and especially on the day of! No doubt I will be used the Mansion for so many milestones events for our family!

say enough about how beautiful the wedding was. Thank you so much for making the day so special!

redible. He truly knows how to handle a wedding party. Our ceremony was a dream and was so incredibly done, the cocktail hour was amazing, so many different options to eat and many rooms to mingle. The ballroom was gorgeous with a large bar to serve many guests at once. We had about 185 guests and everyone was specifically catered too. Our guests raved about the food, drinks, and service. Please consider them for your future wedding!!

beautiful the place was. The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. Very elegant, awesome bar, huge dance floor, and a really cool stair case to make your grand entrance! It looks modern and classy and they do a great job setting up the space. We used the front and side rooms for our cocktail hour and loved how much light it let in and how open it felt. We had our ceremony on site as well and our maitre d Nick was on top of everything making sure we all knew where to be and felt comfortable and confident. That was so huge for us as we hadn’t been in any wedding parties before so really appreciated his guidance and great attitude! My bridal attendant Maddie was also super sweet and helpful, and really saved me by pinning my dress more before the first dance so I wouldn’t trip. Nancy and Jim are so kind, real, and so great at what they do! They know how to put together a spectacular event. I appreciated how honest they would be, never once trying to upsell us or anything, they really just tried to help us create the night of our dreams and they did! The food was delicious, people loved the cocktail hour so much a lot of people thought that was the main event! So many unique and tasty station options, there’s something for everyone. One of my favorite aspects of the venue was the bridal suite. I visited other venues that had a “bridal suite” that was really just a room with a couch that you could only use 2 hours before the ceremony. At the mansion they have a gorgeous double suite with salon chairs and mirrors and plenty of room to spread out, and we could use it all day! We absolutely loved getting ready there it was really special and super convenient not to have to run around at different places the day of the wedding. All in all, I can’t imagine a more perfect place or better hosts to help us through the most important day of our lives! They helped us relax (as much as you can when it’s your own wedding haha) and have the absolute best time. I would absolutely 1000% recommend to anyone and everyone looking to have your wedding here!

hour food, the spaces and wonderful service. The Mansion far exceeded our expectations of how amazing our wedding day could be. We are so thankful for the thoughtful and communicative planning process with Nancy and Jim and grateful to Nick and Maddie for their smooth day-of coordination.

nceled on us less than two months before the wedding, Jim helped us out to find a new one! The food and staff were amazing and the entire venue is just beautiful!

ything. Our bridal attendant was also phenomenal. I honestly have no complaints about the planning process with them the months leading up or anything the night of our wedding. I would highly recommend the Mansion to anyone who is looking for a great wedding venue with amazing food and an even more amazing staff with incredible customer service!

inner) The venue is beautiful! Nancy and Jim were beyond helpful!

are treated like exclusive events at this venue - meaning, you will not share your day with someone's baby shower or anniversary party... (very big advantage!) It was also a pleasure working with Jim and Nancy! Nick was a great maitre'd who worked well with our day-of-coordination team to pull off our wedding and reception seamlessly. Shout out to Maddie, who was an awesome bridal attendant, going so far as to give me massages in between events as it can be exhausting to wear such heavy Indian outfits and jewelry. The entire team works very well together! Few things to be aware of... we invited a little less than 300 guests and that was a perfect fit for the ceremony and grand ballroom. Anything over 300 will definitely feel very crowded. Also, the start and end times are very strictly enforced at this venue. Doors opened at 7AM for everyone (vendors and family), meaning we had to find elsewhere to get ready and decorator had to come in day before to set up our mandap.

meeting, Jim and Nancy made us feel like family and all along the way, their helpfulness and responsiveness made it feel like we were their only wedding. Our guests LOVED the cocktail hour, and raved about the quality of dinner and dessert. Our maitre d Nick was amazing and attentive, and made sure that our day went without a hitch. Our bridal attendant, Geraldine was the best and made sure that my husband and I had everything we wanted and needed throughout the day (and provided emotional support/hype-up throughout the day). She also made sure that we actually sat down and enjoyed our dinner, as well as making sure we always had a full drink. Jim, Nancy, Nick and Geraldine were familiar with our vendors since they've worked with them before and were very communicative and helpful in making sure everything was moving along well throughout the day (though I'm sure that they would've gone above and beyond even if they weren't familiar with our vendors). We are so appreciative to everyone at The Mansion for helping to make it the best day ever; 5 stars isn't enough! We'll always recommend The Mansion to friends and family, and hope to return for future events So much love from the Rola's :)

we had. The day of set up was handled seamlessly by staff and Nick our maitre'd and Ger our bridal attendant were both wonderful! Cocktail hour blew all our guests away!!!

and the rest of the staff really made for a seamless day. The bridal suite is the perfect spot to get ready - it is big, clean, beautiful, and Nancy ensured we had champagne, water, coffee, tea, etc. They also took our bagel order and cut everything up/put on platters for us. The team also spent a lot of time planning out the timeline for the day, and although I was a little nervous for it at first, Nick really nailed it! We had multiple people come up to us complimenting how good the food was and how over-the-top the cocktail hour was ("best cocktail hour ever" was the comment we got from many people). The ballroom and ceremony space are gorgeous and the acoustics in the ballroom for a band are wonderful. There is also a large bar in the ballroom that was easily able to accommodate the 240 guests we had. I actually can't think of anything that they could have done better, because we walked away saying how perfect the day was. A huge thank you to the entire Mansion team, and for anyone looking for a venue, this is the place!

king sure the bride had anything and everything she needed. The food was phenomenal and the ballroom was spacious for both our large families. We got so many compliments on the food that was served and raved about how great it was. Thank you for making our special day perfect!

about how beautiful the venue is, and how delicious the food was! As anyone getting married knows, venue shopping for your wedding is not always fun, but when we came to see the Mansion, we instantly knew we had found our venue. Nancy and Jim are hands down the nicest, caring, and most down to earth people. They talked to us like we were family, not just another wedding party. Nick was an absolute blast to have day of our wedding - he is a true gem, and wonderful to work with. Our guests were truly wow-ed by the food at the Mansion. There were SO many options for everyone, and I can absolutely guarantee that nobody left hungry from our wedding! If I could get married there again, I absolutely would. This is hands down the best venue in NJ!!!
