On WeddingWire since 2015

Waterloo Village is a historic park with a barn couples can use for their wedding in the Northern New Jersey area. This venue, embodying a vintage and rustic atmosphere, is in a restored 19th-century canal town on the Musconetcong River. It features historic homes and other vintage buildings such as an old working mill and a church that is still active today. Couples can find this venue roughly 30 minutes from the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and nearly an hour from downtown Newark, New Jersey.

Facilities and Capacity
Sitting within this quaint venue are historic homes, an active church, a working mill, an old general store and a blacksmith shop. These structures make a scenic backdrop for a couple’s big day. They can host an outdoor ceremony at the park’s stunning white gazebo. This elegant structure frames couples beautifully for their wedding day. Couples can also opt for an outdoor ceremony under the boughs of an old tree, framed by a wedding arch or arbor. This park also has two structural facilities couples can use for their wedding. The meeting house, which accomadates up to 200 guests and the rustic pavilion both offer indoor locations where couples can host their wedding safe from inclement weather and the chill of night. Here, couples will find magnificent stone fireplaces, weather backdrops, and grand wooden columns.

The staff works to provide the very best in service on a couple’s wedding day, even inviting their four-legged family to this pet-friendly space.

Beautifully Rustic Venue, All-Inclusive, and Amazing Staff/Team

I am a 2022 Bride, and chose Jeffrey A. Miller Catering at The Waterloo Village because of their 5-star customer service and farm-to-table catering. The venue itself is a historical site and a state park, with lush green, a farm, a beautiful canal, and farm animals to boot. Waterloo Village exclusively utilizes JAMCatering, which does an amazing job creating delicious dishes for everyone. On top of that, they really make you feel a part of the family, and care deeply for your wedding day.

I completed the food tasting, and the food was absolutely amazing, and unique! The upgrades are totally worth it!

The best part is the design coordinator and staff are so realistic, they will be honest and tell you where to save and what's not necessary if you are trying to save a buck. I love that they weren't trying to upsell me in a salesy way.

I can tell already after meeting my day of design coordinator that the day will run near flawlessly with an incredibly hardworking team behind me. I can't wait to get married here!

Excellent!

I will be getting married here December 2024 and I have to say that everything thus far has been nothing short of amazing! When I first inquired about them, Diane, got back to me right away and we set up a meeting to tour the venue! Walking the path leading to the meeting house where our reception will be, I already knew I had to get married here and so did my fiance. The rustic decor and what is included was what sold us! From the lanterns, centerpieces, seating chart signs, I fell in love. I was also very excited that we will get a day of coordinator and that the food is grown on premises! We booked right away and since then, they have actively kept in contact making sure we know about open houses so we can come play with what we want to do at our wedding, and just keeping us in the know on events. We attended an open house in July and was so glad we did! We were able to bring a couple people from our bridal party, and we got to speak to coordinators, play with our centerpieces, and we got to try some of the food! Everything was delicious. We can not wait for our big day! You can not go wrong with going with Waterloo!

Waterloo Wedding Planning Experience

We are absolutely thrilled about our upcoming wedding at Waterloo Village, and here's why: Culinary Delight: From the moment we tasted their farm-to-table menu, we were blown away by the incredible flavors and the impeccable quality of ingredients. Booking Waterloo without prior knowledge of their cuisine turned out to be a delightful surprise. With a diverse array of menu options, cake flavors, and hors d'oeuvres, they truly cater to every palate. Inclusive Offerings: Waterloo Village goes above and beyond with its inclusions. From the elegantly adorned tables to the picturesque getting ready areas, card box, seating chart, ceremony chairs, every detail is thoughtfully provided. The venue's scenic beauty serves as the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. Quirky Charm: What truly sets Waterloo apart for us, are their alpacas. The opportunity to stroll into cocktail hour accompanied by these adorable animals added a unique touch to our wedding. It's an experience we couldn't find anywhere else, and the fact that it's included at no extra charge is simply remarkable. Stunning Location: With its blend of vintage buildings, historic charm, and natural beauty, Waterloo Village offers an abundance of photo opportunities. Whether against the backdrop of the canal, the incredible fireplaces, the farmland, or the gardens, every corner of this location exudes timeless beauty. Exemplary Service: From our initial inquiries to the tasting session, the communication and professionalism of Waterloo's coordinators and staff have been exceptional. Their prompt responses and friendly demeanor have instilled us with confidence that our special day is in capable hands. In essence, Waterloo Village encapsulates everything we envisioned for our wedding: exquisite cuisine, inclusive amenities, unique experiences, breathtaking surroundings, and top-notch service. Once we tour Waterloo, we were set and couldn't be more excited to celebrate the beginning of our marriage in such a magical setting.
