Nestled at the top of the hill in the Eagle Rock Reservation in West Orange, the Highlawn Pavilion features a breathtaking view of the New York skyline and surrounding areas. The lower level houses an upscale restaurant, while the upper floor is dedicated to weddings and special events. An elevator provides easy access to the upper floor.
The reception room has large windows and your guests can enjoy the view of Manhattan as they dine and dance. A separate area is set aside for the cocktail hour. The cocktail hour features many exceptionally well prepared dishes and the hot food is all labeled. I personally always like to know exactly what it is I am eating.
The seating and dance floor form a "T" shape. The guests are seated at the top of the "T" along the windows. The dance floor forms the base of the "T". The tables at the ends of the "T" cannot see the dance floor from their seats. People who enjoy conversation at weddings view this as a big plus. The separation from the dance floor is also a separation from the sound, making conversing during the dancing a breeze. On the flip side, if you are thinking of dancing and want to know if there is anyone else out there before you join in, you cannot tell from your seat. If you have some guests who do not like loud music and do not care to dance (and we all do), the outside edges are a great place to seat them!
