Congratulations, you’re engaged!! One of the first things to plan is your wedding venue, which sets the stage for everything else about your big day. You’ve never been hotel ballroom or golf club people, and you’re searching for unique South Jersey wedding venues. A special place that your guests will talk about for years!
As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph over 150 weddings at lots of venues in the Central & South Jersey region, and I’ve seen the everything from amazing to unfortunately not so great venues. Here are 4 of my favorite unique central and south jersey wedding venues, including what I love about them!
The Estate at Eagle Lake | Chesterfield, NJ
Ambiance & Vibe: Rustic, Outdoors, Natural
I photograph 5-8 weddings each year at The Estate at Eagle Lake and love it for it’s unique beauty and charm. Perhaps the biggest draw for most my couples who host their wedding here is that you have full use of the grounds all day, which include several garden areas, an outdoor swing and a private beach and dock.
The owners and staff take meticulous care of the grounds, and the venue is filled with stunning photo locations from spring through fall.
Venue Highlights:
- Beautiful, natural outdoor photo locations with a rustic feel
- Private use of the whole property all day, with only one event at a time
- Amazing staff and team – Brianna and the full staff make sure every detail is taken care of
- Fantastic choice of caterers – Summit Catering is my favorite!
- Dog friendly!
