The Bridgewater Manor

Located in the town of Bridgewater in central New Jersey, every wedding at the Bridgewater Manor is truly a unique experience. Couples have a choice of three rooms for their wedding or special event. The cocktail hour can be customized to your needs and budget from "simple and elegant" to "I've never seen so much food in my life!"

A spacious gazebo overlooking a beautifully landscaped pond with a fountain is the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding at the Bridgewater Manor. The grounds are spectacular for photography and videography. In addition to the area by the pond, there are great locations near the front entrance and behind the building as well each providing a different look and setting for your photos. If it rains, a majestic staircase in the lobby is available as well.

An electronic sign in the lobby of the Bridgewater Manor allows guests to easily find the location of their party. In addition to valet parking, there are several handicapped spaces available right by the front door and an elevator provides access to the second floor reception rooms. Each floor has it own restrooms --a great convenience for your guests. And your disc jockey or band will appreciate the easy load into all the rooms.

And did I mention the fresh baked bread? Ahhhhh! About 15 minutes before your guests enter the reception room, wonderfully warm bread fresh from the oven is placed at each guest's seat. When doors open and your family and friends enter the room, they are greeted by the scent of fresh baked bread!

The Tides Estate

The Tides Estate is located in northern New Jersey in the town of North Haledon. The grounds are among the most stunning and beautiful in all of New Jersey. An absolutely PERFECT location for pictures! There is no need to go to a park between the ceremony and reception, saving valuable time normally spent in travel. Heading straight to The Tides after your service also lessens the likelihood of overtime fees for you limo.

In addition to their seven gardens available for pictures, The Tides offers a choice of reception rooms as well.

But what if it rains? No problem! The entrance lobby and staircases are a great location for indoor shots!

This celebration was held in the downstairs reception room. For guests that find stairs difficult, there is direct stair-free access to the lower level from the side of the building in the self-park lot. The cocktail hour had something to please everyone. This cocktail hour featured fresh mozzarella and tomato, assorted cheeses, fruit and veggies, a pasta station, a carving station, assorted hot dishes, a variety of seafood and more! The different areas were well spaced and well stocked. An ice sculpture completed the picture. Additional appetizers were served butler style. The cocktail area also had outside seating available.
