Constructed in 1932, this vintage barn oversees 12+ acres of native grasslands – a rich habitat for wildflowers, birds and butterflies – and a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer.

Our wedding is this October at Bishop. We are so excited and the venue couldn't be more perfect for a fall or spring wedding. The venue is unique in that the reception is held in the barn loft. How cool and different!! We had a coordinator assigned to us which make us feel secure that our day will run smoothly! Everyone has been so helpful with the entire process. We couldn't recommend this venue and the team behind the scenes more!

Park Loft

Oceanport, NJ
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Park Loft is a brand new full service luxury wedding and special event venue located in the heart of Monmouth County. With meticulous attention paid to all details, from the transformative European industrial design elements to the exquisite cuisine and premium spirits masterfully curated by Executive Chef Thomas Schoborg, Park Loft is an ideal choice for those looking to redefine what a truly unique and elevated special event can be. Initially constructed in 1941 as a Dance Hall on historic Fort Monmouth – Park Loft has been remarkably restored and reimagined as a timeless and extraordinarily distinct event venue for your most treasured events.

We had our wedding reception at the Park Loft on February 9, 2024. We first visited the venue in fall of 2022 before the Park Loft had even hosted their first wedding! But we knew from the moment we walked in that this venue was special and unlike any other that we had visited in NJ (and we've been to a lot!). When we walked in, it even smelled amazing! The Park Loft has come leaps and bounds from where it was two years ago (adding the gorgeous atrium, planting a whole park, and creating countless little touches) but even back then, we immediately knew this is where we wanted to celebrate our marriage because we trusted their vision. Throughout the entire planning process, Allie, Ryan, Chef Thomas, Alecia and the whole team were incredible. The Park Loft will truly make your wedding or event one of a kind. From the small details, to making sure your crazy t-shirt toss happens, to having INCREDIBLE food and cocktails, they don’t miss. We loved how the whole staff cheered us on making us feel like celebrities on our special day. Everyone was so friendly, approachable, and quick to make any of our requests happen. In short, they are true professionals and we can’t thank them enough. Our family and friends are still raving - and we didn’t leave the dance floor all night! It was a stress-free day and we couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend having your wedding at the Park Loft - you will not be disappointed. We hope to be invited back as wedding guests to experience it all over again!

The Barn on South Holland is a banquet facility that offers indoor and outdoor accommodations perfect for both small and large events.

Rachael and her team were absolutely amazing for our wedding whenever I had a question about the venue I knew I would get a very quick response from Rachael days leading up to the wedding. We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.

Rosewood Farms

Elkton, MD
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Originally a cow and poultry farm, the previous owners had run the property as a winery before Rick purchased it in May of 2017. After seeing the property, its luscious landscape, and the rustic charm of the original buildings, Rick had a vision. He saw the property transformed into a modern, chic space that maintained the history and character of the original farm. More importantly, he imagined bringing others’ visions to life with a beautiful and unique setting for weddings and private events.

My (now!) husband, Matt and I, had our DREAM wedding at Rosewood this winter. From intro tour to married - the entire process was so easy and fun. Their preferred vendor list is perfect - does a lot of the upfront work for you. All of my vendors knocked it out of the park. Not to mention, how GORGEOUS is Rosewood? Beautiful and HUGE suite to get ready in with all of my girls. The guys had a blast playing pool and video games while getting ready. We had so much gush over the cocktail hour space from our guests - which is conveniently both indoor and outdoor friendly. We danced the night away during the reception. So much room for everyone to mingle. The space is a blank slate that gives you so much room to make the décor your own. The photo booth was one of the highlights for us, we loved getting all of the photos after the fact. Have your wedding at Rosewood, it's the best and easiest decision you'll make!
