Where to Stay

The Water Witch Club at Monmouth Hills

The Water Witch Club was founded in 1895 by Ferdinand Fish, a New York City developer. The name comes from The Water-Witch, an 1830 novel by James Fenimore Cooper. The Water Witch Club Casino was built in 1905 and expanded in 1911. The two-story Lavinia Anna Erbacher House, built around 1905, was designed by architect Frederick P. Hill and features Shingle Style and Colonial Revival architecture. The Club is an outstanding example of the well planned and beautiful summer community of the 19th and 20th centuries. Situated atop one of the highest points on the eastern seaboard, the Water Witch combines turn-of-the-century charm with sweeping views of Sandy Hook National Park, the Atlantic Ocean, and the NYC skyline, all in a quiet and secluded location.

The History of the Water Witch Club 

The Venue

Natalie &amp; Liam met in the fall of 2017 while attending Fordham University in the Bronx, NY. They were both members of the Varsity Swim Team, and first locked eyes at a student-athlete forum in Keating Auditorium … exactly where Liam popped the question to Natalie 7 years later! Thanks to long practices in Lane 5 and the many hours they spent together on campus, the couple began dating in January 2018. Natalie and Liam currently reside in Old City, Philadelphia with their two cats Ed &amp; Jerry. In their spare time, you can find Natalie &amp; Liam going to thrift stores, attending all things Philly Sports, going to the beach, or spending time with their families and friends in NJ &amp; PA.
