Estate at Eagle Lake Wedding Photos | Stunning South Jersey Garden Wedding Venue
If you’re searching for a rustic, outdoor garden wedding venue in South Jersey you’ve come to the right place! The Estate at Eagle Lake is one of my favorite wedding venues for so many reasons, including its natural beauty and charm, not to mention the unparalleled personal service. Check out real Estate at Eagle Lake wedding photos below, along with advice for planning your unique wedding day at this beautiful location!
Estate at Eagle Lake | An Outdoor Lover’s Dream
The Estate at Eagle Lake is a stunning, natural outdoor wedding venue in South Jersey. It sits on 25 acres and features lovely manicured gardens, a tree-lined driveway and a beautiful 6 acre natural lake. The estate’s name originates from a pair of bald eagles which can often be seen on the lake in the mornings and it’s not surprising to see herons, geese and other wildlife on the grounds.
It’s no surprise that Eagle Lake is perfect for wedding photos, which is one reason so many couples choose it for their big day! Another benefit that couples enjoy is private use of the estate grounds all day from 8:00 in the morning through to 11:00 at night!
Your Wedding Morning at Eagle Lake
Start your wedding day as early as 8:00 at the estate! You can sip mimosas with your best friends in the beautiful and elegantly decorated getting ready suite, while your fiance enjoys fishing, boating or hanging-out on the grounds with their best friends.
The bright and elegant main getting ready suite features three hair and makeup stations with lighted mirrors, several comfortable seating spaces, a private dressing room, private bathroom, a mini fridge and a working fireplace for the cooler months!
There’s a second suite for your fiance and their wedding party, complete with a television and sound system, several seating lounges and a private dressing space. And let’s not forget the pool table and dart board – plenty of entertainment for everyone to enjoy!
Multiple Wedding Ceremony Spots at Eagle Lake
When it comes time to say “I Do”, the Estate offers three beautiful ceremony locations for you to choose from! First and most popular, couples love saying “I Do” lakeside under the grand oak trees. One tradition is starting the lake fountain just as you have your first kiss!
A second, more rustic ceremony option is the field. And third, let’s not forget the brand new chapel added in spring 2022. This stunning space was added in case of inclement weather, but frankly it’s gorgeous no matter the weather outside!
Estate at Eagle Lake Wedding Photos | Popular and Unique Portrait Locations
I photograph over 5 weddings each year at the Estate, which means I’m lucky enough to know the best photo locations on the property – some of which are true hidden gems! Here’s the scoop on the best spots, and when to take advantage of them on your wedding day.
Estate at Eagle Lake Wedding Photos | Dock & Lake
This is a popular spot, and it’s best to take advantage of it for your couples photos 1 hour before sunset because lighting can be direct and less flattering earlier in the day.

Cocktails & Reception at Eagle Lake
Cocktails are usually held in the top gardens at Eagle Lake, allowing guests to sip and enjoy the koi pond, games like Jenga and Corn Hole, and to admire the expansive view from the observation deck. The garden is a short walk from the reception tent and restrooms, and staff are on standby to golf cart guests around the property if needed.
After cocktails, guests are invited into the bright and airy reception tent, overlooking the lake and manicured gardens. The Estate at Eagle Lake can accommodate up to 200 guests in their spacious facilities.
