What Makes a Wedding Venue Picture Perfect?

 

Hi! I’m Miranda Suess, a wedding photographer based in New Jersey. I love capturing whimsical couples and their weddings that have a vintage fairytale charm. In my experience, venues that feature a neoclassical character or resemble a storybook landscape are the most picture-perfect. However, there’s more to consider. It’s important to choose venues that offer great indoor and outdoor options for photos on your wedding day, especially in case of rain. This way, your wedding can still be picture-perfect at one of these New Jersey venues.

Here, I’ve compiled a list of picture-perfect wedding venues in order of areas in New Jersey that meet the following criteria:

  • Venue and wedding day photos
  • Overnight Accommodations
  • Address, and how far it’s from the EWR airport (convenience for out-of-town guests) and NYC (popular travel destination for out-of-town guests)
  • Does it have a pretty bridal suite for getting ready photos?
  • The indoor ceremony architecture style
  • The outdoor ceremony style
  • The reception space design style & maximum seated guests
  • Does the venue host more than one wedding or event per day? (so important!)
  • Contact information to schedule a tour

Let’s find the perfect venue for your big day!

Picture-Perfect Venues in North New Jersey

 

Pleasantdale Chateau | European Historic Estate

Miranda’s favorite NJ wedding venue.

  • Location: 757 Eagle Rock | EWR is 45 minutes away, and NYC is 35 minutes away.
  • Overnight accommodations: yes, 30 rooms
  • Bridal Suite: The stunning suite on the second floor is ideal for hair and makeup services, featuring a separate area for the mothers of the couple to prepare. An oversized vintage mirror complements the whimsical storybook aesthetic that defines this venue. Outside the bridal suite is a balcony & patio with views of the storybook chateau grounds. The groom’s lounge is designed like a vintage-inspired barber shop and is connected to a billiards room.
  • The indoor ceremony area features dark timber beams, resembling the inside of a fairytale cottage mansion.
  • The reception will be held in a grand ballroom with high ceilings, accommodating up to 350 guests. The venue is elegant, featuring hand-painted murals, crystal chandeliers, hardwood floors, and a spacious dance floor. When hiring a photography or videography team, consider having a second photographer or videographer capture moments from the upper level to achieve some stunning angles of your wedding dance party!
    • Max capacity: 325 guests
  • Wedding Exclusivity: The venue hosts only one wedding at a time. 

 

 

 

The Estate at Florentine Gardens | Luxury Estate & Gardens

  • Location: 97 Rivervale Rd | EWR is 45-60 minutes away, and NYC is 60 minutes away.
  • Overnight accommodations: no
  • Bridal Suite: Yes, there is a bridal suite available for getting ready; however, it is not suitable for photos. It is best to capture bridal prep photos in the stunning indoor ceremony space located on the lower and upper levels.
  • The indoor ceremony area features bright white decor with floor-to-ceiling windows and a marble fireplace centerpiece. Elegant chandeliers enhance the timeless, European-inspired design.
  • The outdoor ceremony setting is romantic, complete with a gazebo, fountains, and seasonal blooms in the gardens. At night, this space transforms into an enchanting ambiance.
  • The reception takes place in a ballroom adorned with sparkling chandeliers soaring high above. The neutral color palette allows for compatibility with any wedding theme. Through the windows, guests can enjoy views of the enchanting ceremony gardens, beautifully illuminated by golden lights.
    • Max capacity: 360
  • Wedding Exclusivity: The venue can host multiple events per day, but never at the same time. However, it’s important to note that there may be another event happening in the morning (during bridal preparations and portraits). The team works efficiently to ensure that wedding guests and couples do not encounter each other on the wedding day.

 

 

 

The Madison Hotel | Conservatory & Greenhouse

  • Location: 1 Convent Rd | EWR is 30 minutes away, and NYC is 60 minutes away.
  • Bridal Suite: The bridal suite is suitable for getting ready but not ideal for photos. The best locations for bridal preparation photos at the Madison Hotel are the hotel lobby entrance. It’s advisable to book one of the largest suites for putting on the dress. Most getting-ready photos are typically taken in these two areas rather than in the room where the bride receives hair and makeup services.
  • The indoor ceremony area is in a glass greenhouse conservatory. It’s breathtaking beauty will have your guests glued to their phones because they can’t help but take a photo of how pretty it is. This is such an incredible place for a wedding ceremony, as it is the ultimate location year-round, since no one has to be outside. 
  • The outdoor ceremony: no option & unnecessary when the conservatory is so beautiful.
  • The Madison Hotel offers two locations for wedding receptions, but I believe the Conservatory is the most whimsical and enchanting option, perfect for capturing magical photos. During cocktail hour, this space transitions beautifully from the ceremony to the reception. However, one drawback of this venue is that when it reaches maximum capacity, the space becomes quite tight, and the dance floor is small. Additionally, the DJ must adhere to a noise ordinance, so the music cannot be played very loudly.
    • Max capacity: 250 guests
  • The venue hosts multiple weddings or events each day. While this may not be ideal for the photo schedule, selecting a date during the off-peak season or on a weekday will likely reduce the chances of overlapping events.

 

 

 

David’s Country Inn | Luxury Estate

  • Location: 314 Main Street | EWR is 60 minutes away, and NYC is 75 minutes away.
  • Overnight accommodations: no
  • The Warren Suite is a spacious bridal suite designed for the bride to get ready. It features salon stations, shuffle board, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a dining area, making it the perfect place to spend the morning of the wedding day with up to 25 of  her/their favorite people.
  • The indoor ceremony features a vintage, moody Victorian aesthetic with sparkling chandeliers and a stained-glass ceiling, creating a dark elegance suitable for an indoor wedding ceremony year-round or as a rain plan.
  • The reception is held in a historic ballroom featuring a baby grand piano, a classic mahogany bar, fireplaces, and chandeliers, creating a mansion-like atmosphere for the wedding.
    • Max capacity: 215 guests
  • Wedding Exclusivity: The venue has a strict one event per day.

  • Bridal Suite: A spacious area for the wedding party to prepare. It retains its historic charm with dark wood walls, chandeliers, and ample room for large bridal parties to get ready.
  • The indoor ceremony area includes a private lakeside chapel that is simple and resembles traditional church settings. This space can serve as a backup plan in case of rain.
  • The outdoor ceremony setting is situated over a reflection pond, with chairs arranged along either side of the tranquil water.

Inn at Millrace Pond | Forest Village

  • Bridal Suite: This charming two-story cottage features antique decor and wooden ceilings, making it an ideal setting for bridal preparation photos. The suite offers a separate wine cellar where the bride’s partner can relax while getting ready. However, most photos of the partner will likely be taken outside to achieve a brighter and airier effect, as opposed to the darker ambiance of the basement.
  • The indoor ceremony would be the rain plan option in the grand ballroom.
  • The outdoor ceremony is illuminated by the setting sun and surrounded by forest trees. In the area, there are various houses of different styles, a bridge over a flowing creek that serves as the entrance path for the wedding party, and a vintage truck nearby.
  • The reception takes place in the modern farmhouse ballroom, featuring a charming, bright, rustic style. The sweetheart table is positioned in front of a stone fireplace. There is ample space for dancing and outdoor fire pits.
    • Max capacity: 200 guests
  • Wedding Exclusivity: The venue hosts one wedding per day!

 

 

 

Perona Farms: The Reserve | Modern Conservatory

  • Overnight accommodations: no
  • Bridal Suite: A dedicated house on the property provides premium transportation service to and from the main venue. The upper level is designated for bridal prep, while the lower level is reserved for the groom and groomsmen.

    However, it’s recommended to skip detailed bridal prep photos at this location—the rooms are tight, dimly lit, and not ideal for capturing those dreamy getting-ready shots. Instead, opt for staged portraits and details in the onsite bridal suite (upstairs suite) at the main venue, which offers better lighting and more space for creative storytelling.

  • The indoor ceremony space features a stunning floor-to-ceiling glass conservatory that can be opened or closed depending on the weather, making it a versatile and picturesque location for weddings in any season.
  • The outdoor ceremony information is not available, but contact the venue if this is possible.
  • The reception takes place in a modern rustic elegant ballroom with vaulted ceilings and romantic lighting. 
    • Max capacity: 200
  • Wedding Exclusivity: The Reserve at Perona Farms hosts one wedding per day, ensuring you receive full attention and complete privacy throughout your event.

    However, please note that the shared outdoor grounds used for portraits may also be accessed by weddings taking place at their sister venue, The Refinery. Because of this, we’ll need to coordinate with a golf cart driver to plan when and where portraits can be taken around the property’s most scenic spots.

    Having a plan in place ensures a smooth experience and allows us to make the most of the picture-perfect backdrops while maintaining your timeline and privacy.

 

 

 

Perona Farms: The Refinery | Modern Conservatory

  • Overnight accommodations: no
  • Bridal Suite: The bridal suite at The Refinery is a spacious, well-lit area designed for hair and makeup prep, complete with a cozy lounge and an oversized ornate mirror—perfect for capturing those magical “getting into the dress” moments. ✨

    This suite is located directly next to the groom’s getting ready space, but it does not include a bathroom, which is important to note when planning prep logistics.

    Because of the close proximity, it’s essential to communicate clearly with the couple (or the planner) any time the bride or groom needs to step out—especially if you’re avoiding a first look before the big reveal. Timing and coordination here are key to keeping the surprise intact and the timeline running smoothly.

  • The indoor ceremony area is a glass conservatory with a retractable roof and walls, making it an all-season option, providing beautiful natural light.
  • The outdoor ceremony information is unavailable. Please contact the venue in case you wish to have this option.

    • Max capacity: 175 guests

However, please note that the shared outdoor photo locations are also accessible to couples marrying at The Reserve. Coordination with the venue’s golf cart team may be needed to schedule portraits at key spots.
