Perfect Fairytale Forest venue!

I had my wedding at the Forest lodge in their Maple Grove outdoor area for my 200+ guests. It was the perfect combination of fairytale forest with laid back yet classy vibes! Joe and Anthony were both so responsive and accommodating throughout our planning and Joe did such a phenomenal job the day of. Corey and I appreciated everything Joe and the team of bridal attendants did that day, especially when I was feeling a little anxious about the weather. Spoiler alert: it turned out to be gorgeous by ceremony time! When our shuttle was running late from the hotel, Joe assured me that even if we had to start a little late, the wedding will not be cut short. I was so relieved! I will be forever grateful for the Forest Lodge staff for making it the best day of our lives!

Best choice we made was The Forest Lodge!

I would 110% recommend The Forest Lodge for any event! My wedding was in August of 2023 and it was a day I will always cherish. The venue itself is beautiful, and everyone who works there is so pleasant to work with. I was an out of state bride, and even though I was a few hours away, they made everything so easy. I wanted to wait until I had my photos back before posting a review because words don’t do justice to the wonderfullness that is The Forest Lodge. Anthony and Joe helped the day go without a hitch and the bridal assistant Charlotte was hands down THE BEST! The Forest Lodge will always hold a special place in my heart for being so great on one of the best days 🤍

Wedding Anniversary Celebration

We decided to have a large anniversary celebration exactly one year after our private, intimate ceremony and Forest Lodge was the perfect place for us. With its beautiful outdoor setting, delicious food, and outstanding service, we couldn’t have been happier with our event. Anthony Panchery and his team were super accommodating, and patient thought the entire process, and answered my million (borderline annoying) questions each step of the way. I am so thankful for Anthony, Joe, and Kelly for making our night truly one to remember, and cannot sing the praises of Forest Lodge enough. If you are looking for a beautiful venue in central Jersey with outstanding food and service, add Forest Lodge to your list!!
