NJ Farm Wedding Venues & Fall Activities

October 21, 2016 · Leave a Comment

NJ Farm Wedding Venues & Fall Activities | Dreamery EventsI am loving all your apple and pumpkin picking photographs? Isn’t it nice to leave the craziness of cities, and life, and head to the farm to enjoy quintisential Fall. Apples reign supreme this season, especially in October, and not just because it’s National Apple Month, but this is their peak fruit bering season.

Heading to the farm and orchards is probably my favorite, if not only, thing I enjoy about this season. Half my life has practically been on a farm woodland in Portugal. Yes, that’s what I call farms surrounded by forests and far off mountains. It sounds dreamy doesn’t it?! It sounds like just the most perfect place to get married. I’m a sucker for an al fresco wedding, especially one in a forest, vineyard or farm. You can’t beat having so much natural beauty as the backdrop of your wedding. Yes always a risk, as weather can be unpredictable, but most farm weddings can easily accommodate with barns and grand tents. Now that is dreamy!

Since this is one of the best times of year to get outdoors to your local farms, I’ve rounded up my favorite New Jersey wedding outdoor venues. Some of you may be thinking farmland in New Jersey? Well you’d be seriously wrong, head just an hour away from my New York City area, you’ll find forests, farms, and vineyards. Did you know we produce the most blueberries too? Each new season brings fun things to do, but fall is one of the most popular time for outdoor activities, and nature loving weddings.

I’ve rounded up my favorite NJ farm and outdoor venues, including ones that offer plenty to do with family and friends during Fall too…

Brookmill Farm is not just a farm, it’s also a beautiful secret garden with a dreamy pond and pretty bridges atop streams. Their colonial cottage are your house dreams, and it accommodates you and overnight guests. So why not make it a little wedding weekend getaway in NJ. Definitely a great way to have a mini vacation, without going far. And if nature does interrupt your walk down the aisle, Brookmill has a grand clear tent that makes you feel like you are still surrounded by all the trees and roses. After doing my research of NJ wedding venues, this was by far my favorite wedding space of all. I steer away from the traditional NJ ballroom venues, mostly because I’d rather be outside and they all somewhat look the same. But Brookmill Farm has both, a beautiful outdoor space and indoor option.

Crossed Keys Estate isn’t a farm, but it is one of the most beautiful garden spaces I’ve seen in the state. It’s an enchanting natural gem with magnificent trees, ponds and streams. But it sold me at an English rose garden with over 1000 Dahlias, can we say heaven! I already can’t wait for spring and summer next year so that I can experience Crossed Keys in person. It’s got plenty of rustic al fresco spaces, including a fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows. And it can accommodate a weekend wedding too, with The Inn offering 10 guest rooms. But the focal point, would definitely be the Big Tent with a high cathedral draped ceiling.

With hundreds of acres of farmland to explore, this estate is anything but rustic, it’s a regal barn style ballroom with tall windows overlooking beautiful gardens and romantic fountains. It reminds me so much a historical Southern estate. The barn chapel, it’s gorgeous. It’s what made me fall in love with this venue. It’s a rustic dream in white! It also allows for outside catering and vendors, which is really accommodating when wanting to add personal touches.

NJ Farm Wedding Venues & Fall Activities | Dreamery Events This is our go to farm each year for picking. It’s vast with plenty of different orchards, sunflower and pumpkin patches, festive corn mazes, the perfect open nature to enjoy fall outdoors and celebrate a wedding. I’ve visited while birthday have been going on, but they can accommodate weddings too! How does being sent off with a harvest moon hayride. These are all also daily activities Alstede Farmers offers those coming to picking apples, along with wine tastings!

It has peony in its name, of course this was making my list! Guys, Peony’s Envy is an actual flower nursery and display garden, could it be anymore perfect for an outdoor wedding. A wedding right at the peak of peony season, now that is just romantic.  If you’re looking for a truly special, exclusive, and magnificent location for your wedding, this is it. The only downfall is that events only take place during the peony bloom from May 1 through June 15, so book it now!

This is one of my favorite NJ venues, it is a 1930’s dairy barn that has been transformed into a rustic and elegant wedding venue. It’s got beautiful grounds throughout five special spots you can say “I Do”.  It’s fully air conditioned and heated, making it perfect all year round. It also offers a more traditional ballroom space if a barn isn’t quite the look you’re going for.

Waterloo Village isn’t just a forest or farm, or barn, it is an entire beautifully restored 19th century town. You can visit this on a daily basis with family and friends, but a school trip to this mock colonial town years ago is how I first heard of this nature gem. It’s a charming backdrop for a fall wedding. Say “I do” alongside the waters of the canal or walk down the aisle at the Village’s picturesque church. Your guests will enjoy sipping cocktails in the rustic, then head to the meeting house to dance the night away. Picture ending your wedding night in the warm glow of the outdoor firepit, roasting s’mores beneath the stunning star filled sky alongside loved ones celebrating love.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
Finding it a bit hard to stay positive today…in Finding it a bit hard to stay positive today…in truth the state of our planet weighs heavily on me daily, but especially these last few days knowing that millions of people are struggling to have the basic necessities of staying warm & having running water in their own home. It’s baffling. But this is the sad reality that we have created as humans. Decades of corporations, governments & leaders choosing profits over the value & quality of human life & of every living organism necessary to make our ecosystems thrive.

No, not the happiest of posts, but it’s honesty. We have created the rise in repeated natural disasters, pandemics & rare diseases. And until we hold these people accountable & collectively make drastic changes, then we will continue to have these in more severe cases — so yes, more diseases, more crazy things happening to our environment & the places we love. We have created this change & it’s severely impacted every facet of our lives & future. 

My heart is w. everyone struggling right now, because this shouldn’t be happening. Please stay safe, check on your neighbors & loved ones. Help however way you can🤍
For many of us, Travel is very much etched into ev For many of us, Travel is very much etched into every fiber of our being. Travel makes us who we are, it brings life to our soul...

So my fellow travelers at heart, how have you soothed that part of you that feels put on pause? 

I’ve been watching a lot international series, read plenty of travel publications & naturally find myself looking back at old photos, turning those memories into videos & reliving those moments...like a Sunday afternoon discovering Poço da Broca in the Serra Da Estrela🌱
If you need to mentally travel, see more of this lovely spot on the blog now!!
