    I'd choose LVC again 1,000 times

    Our wedding day was perfect. Daniel thought of every single detail and executed everything seamlessly. From making sure our cocktail hour was outside (despite potential rain) because it was important to us, to making sure we had enough to eat and drink, to organizing the bridal party/family for intros, speeches, and dances. Multiple people told us it was the best organized wedding they'd ever been to. The venue itself is gorgeous and photos do it no justice. The food is great and the drinks are well made. Coleen was amazing to work with leading up to the wedding-fast and smooth communication every time we reached out. We are so grateful we found this hidden gem and would choose it again every time.

    A great experience

    The most beautiful venue, the food is excellent and plenty of it.
    There is a lot of room for the cocktail hour for people to sit inside or out. Very comfortable Rustic atmosphere. The people who run the club are great to work with. Very pleased all around.

    Wedding Venue

    We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Lake Valhalla, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the entire experience. The venue is absolutely stunning. The picturesque surroundings create an enchanting atmosphere that is simply breathtaking. Our guests were in awe of the beauty and charm that the venue exuded. The staff were exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, they were professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. The wedding coordinator, Daniel, is a true gem. His expertise and experience were evident as he guided us through the planning process, offering valuable insights and suggestions, and their attention to detail ensured that every element of the day was executed seamlessly. Overall, our wedding at Lake Valhalla was a dream come true. The venue's beauty, the exceptional staff, and the attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. We highly recommend it to any couple looking for a scenic setting to celebrate their special day

    Korpon Wedding 8/19/23

    My husband and I had our dream wedding at Lake Valhalla Club on August 19, 2023. This venue went above and beyond for us.

    We could not have asked for a more attentive, caring, efficient and experienced maitre'd than Daniel Rodas. Daniel made sure everything ran on schedule, calmed our concerns and thought of every detail! After our photos he made sure we had time alone in the bridal room to eat and relax with all our favorite foods and drinks. We are still talking about what an amazing job Daniel did. He took all the pressure off and we did not worry about anything. He personally took care of anything we needed. Lake Valhalla Club was beautiful and the service for our wedding was out of this world. It was the PERFECT day and this venue is absolutely incredible. I wish I could give more than five stars!

    Dream Wedding

    We recently had our wedding at Lake Valhalla Club in Montville, NJ on 10/15/22. We had booked our event over a year and a half ago, so we had a long time to plan for the day. Something that was so awesome about having a wedding there was the complimentary, temporary membership provided. This courtesy allowed us ample time to visit the club for dinner and attend other special events. We became very comfortable with the venue and were always treated with hospitality and respect. Leading up to the event, there was a new Director of Sales hired, Coleen who stepped into her role with ease and was so supportive. She was always available by phone or email to answer any questions and help guide the planning process. The Assistant Banquet Director, Michael was also very supportive and always warm and attentive when we would visit the venue. Just a couple of weeks before our wedding, a new Banquet Director, Daniel was hired. We were very anxious about working with someone new, wondering if he would be able to step in so quickly and manage a successful event. Having over 25 years of experience, Daniel engaged with us with thoughtfulness and enthusiasm. His meticulous and organized nature guided our timeline for the day and brought our dream wedding to life. He attended to us throughout the day, making sure we were well-nurtured and nourished, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. So many of our friends and family members commented about the amazing venue and awesome food. I must also mention the beautiful grounds at Lake Valhalla Club. The lakeside arch and picturesque landscape provided a peaceful, breathtaking canvas for our wedding ceremony and photos. We feel very blessed to have celebrated our most special day at Lake Valhalla Club.

    A Hidden Gem in NJ!

    If you are looking for a unique, intimate, and lakefront venue for your wedding, look no further than Lake Valhalla Club. The building and grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. There is an old world charm to all of the little details that make this place feel special. The view of the lake is breathtaking from the reception room and ceremony space outside. The food is absolutely the best I’ve ever had at a wedding or banquet type affair. It’s magical that they are able to provide restaurant quality food at that quantity! Kristine and Claudio were both so easy to work with. Kristine is quick to respond and answer every question. And Claudio can run a wedding in his sleep! My guests were blown away by this venue and I couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else!

    October 8th 2021 wedding

    Wow!!!! This place was everything we wanted and more . From the beginning Kristine helped us with any questions and concerns (which was a lot lol) with speedy responses up to the day of the wedding . As for the day of Claudio and Michael made us feel like royalty! The girls and I got there at 11 am to get ready and they got us anything we needed while getting ready. The ceremony and reception was everything we dreamed of and more ! The lake side ceremony and rustic lodge reception was our style! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about the views of the lake and surroundings. All night Claudio and Michael were by our sides if we needed anything at all ! It was the perfect day ❤️

    Dream Wedding Venue with Exceptional Staff!

    Wow - what an amazing experience working with the staff and crew at Lake Valhalla, especially during a pandemic. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the business/operations manager Kristine Howar made the entire process so easy and personable. Absolutely no drama or hiccups on our actual wedding day, and our guests still can't stop talking about attending the "best party ever." Huge shout-out to the awesome bartenders who were able to keep-up with our rather rambunctious group. And working with the Maitre' D Claudio was an absolute pleasure - he truly made me feel like the luckiest bride. We can't wait to go back to Lake Valhalla to celebrate all future anniversaries.

    Amazing Wedding Day

    From the moment my husband and I met with Kristine (who is so sweet and the best!), we knew that Lake Valhalla Club was the place we wanted to get married. First of all, it is a gorgeous venue. They advertise this venue as rustic elegance, and it truly is. The lake alone is beautiful, but the rustic charm inside and out with exposed beams, fireplaces, etc. make this venue one of a kind. On top of the beauty, the staff are truly what make Valhalla club the best. Claudio, the banquet manager, truly is an amazing maitre d. He makes sure that everything runs smoothly from lining everyone up, making sure everything is decorated perfectly, making sure the bride & groom are on point with their attire at all times etc. In addition, the wait staff and bartenders were also the best. Our guests keep telling us what an amazing time they had. We can't THANK YOU ALL enough for an unforgettable experience on our special day.

    Amazing staff and beautiful place.

    I do not even know where to begin. First off, the venue is gorgeous! We were looking for a rustic look and got exactly that at lake Valhalla. The gorgeous fireplaces and lights above the dance floor gave it such a cozy and romantic look. Kristine and Claudio were amazing to work with. Kristine was so responsive to all inquiries and a pleasure to work with. Claudio was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to help make our day amazing! He was so helpful and took very good care of us on our wedding day. His assistant, Rachel, was so sweet and very helpful too! My husband and I didn’t get to eat at cocktail hour, with saying hi to everyone and taking photos, so she was sweet enough to put a plate together, so that we had something to eat. They really went above and beyond to make our day truly amazing. I highly recommended this venue. We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out. Thank you!!!

    The Most Beautiful Day & Best Team

    We married at Lake Valhalla Club in early October and it was incredible. The service, the decor, the backdrop, the food, I could go on and on, was absolutely perfect. As soon as we were engaged I knew this would be my venue because the inside is just as gorgeous as the outside. It offers such a beautiful ceremony and reception location where guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor settings at the same time. The staff took care of everything and the service from Claudio was beyond expectations. I wish he could be cloned because he was the key to our successful wedding. He was great with our flower girl and ring bearer, even making the ring bearer a customized ice cream sundae and he pulled my husband in to shore after arriving on the boat to the ceremony. I couldn't have imaged getting married anywhere else, this venue is absolutely perfect. We are still hearing compliments about how beautiful our wedding was but for us, the service from Claudio and team is what made our day. Thanks Lake Valhalla Club for everything!

    Kristine is quick to respond to emails and phone calls, and was such a delight when I visited the venue! She’s excellent to work with and really goes above and beyond planning with me! Still in the finalizing phase but I’m so excited!!!

    Absolutely amazing

    I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else! Kristine was so incredibly helpful, she made everything so easy and as stress free as possible. The venue inside and out was absolutely perfect, the food was amazing, the staff especially Claudio could not have been better. Claudio was so great and such a big help, constantly checking in to make sure everything was all good and more than happy to help with anything needed. The grounds were stunning, the food was delicious, the drinks were plentiful and i don’t have a single complaint. An absolutely amazing wedding venue!

    We had such an incredible wedding at Lake Valhalla on 9/15/2018, everything was absolutely perfect. Claudio went above and beyond for not only us as the bride and groom, but for all of our guests. Side note: my photographers even said to me of all the weddings they have been to, they have never had a Maître D as accommodating.
    When picking our venue, we had a few things that were important to us, affordable, good bar package and good food. The entire process was professional and easy, and leading up to our wedding day Kristine was so accommodating and pleasant to work with. The day before our wedding we dropped off our things, gave directions and when I walked into the venue I could not believe how perfect everything looked. The day of was amazing, all my guests were happy, food was delicious, service incredible and it truly was one of the best nights. I was an indecisive bride and looked at around 10 venues, and I am so glad we landed on Lake Valhalla. The venue does not disappoint and they will do whatever they can to make sure it’s one of the best nights of your life.

    Lake Valhalla's team did an amazing job! Claudio was terrific every step of the way, making sure everything was how we envisioned, and then it rained. The staff went out every single rain break to try to dry off the chairs so we could continue having the ceremony outside. My husband and I finally made the call to have it inside, and the staff was amazing again. We ended up having cocktail hour first, and then the ceremony in the ballroom, but it was still picture perfect. My guests didn't have a negative thing to say about anything. The venue was gorgeous, Claudio and his team do anything to make the bride and groom happy, guests were saying that the bartenders remembered their drinks before they even had time to order. It wasn't at all how we hoped it would go, Claudio made it even better than we could ever imagine! I cannot thank him and his amazing team enough for the work that they did for us on our wedding day.

    I cannot express how WONDERFUL this venue is! Kristine helped plan with me every step of the way and was always very responsive and helpful. Claudio, our maître d’, was AMAZING on our wedding day. He was so attentive without being overbearing and everything ran so smoothly. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how great the food tasted. The cocktail hour food did not disappoint either, and there was no shortage of food, which has been my experience at other weddings I’ve attended. We had our ceremony and reception here, and it was so easy. One of the best parts of this venue is that everything is included in the price, catering, alcohol, even the cake which they outsource from Palermo’s bakery. If you are planning on getting married in NJ you MUST visit this venue, it was a dream come true!

    Amazing time. Our wedding was perfect. Claudio is the absolute best and is very attentative to everything. Our florist forgot to put flowers on our cake and he took care of it without bringing it up to us. He keeps everything stress free. The staff was great and worked with us and our changing schedules. The place was very clean and decorated perfectly for our wedding. This is truly a diamond of a venue location. Recommended to those who love the rustic look.

    My husband and I got married the Saturday before Thanksgiving and the Lake Valhalla Club was nothing short of amazing. From our correspondence leading up to the wedding, Kristine was always very responsive and thorough. She and the rest of the staff were so helpful throughout the entire process. Claudio was AMAZING the night of the wedding. He even drove some of the members of our bridal party back to the hotel when the shuttle never showed up - he truly went above and beyond. Guests also raved about how great the food was for both cocktail hour as well as the dinner. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the LVC!

    After looking at 10+ venues in NJ, we knew we had to book the LVC the moment we walked in! Finally had our wedding here on 9/9. Everything was amazing and guests raved about the food, location and the charm of the venue. Claudio and Katrina took care of every detail. Cannot wait to see our pictures. Perfect day, perfect venue!

    We fell in love with Lake Valhalla Club the moment we walked in. The venue is spectacular in every way! We worked with Katrina and Claudio who were beyond amazing at making sure the day and night were perfect. Katrina was easy to communicate with and would respond quickly to all of my many questions throughout the planning process. We loved visiting Lake Valhalla leading up to the big day where we felt like we were family due to how friendly the staff was. The food was incredibly and our guests are raving about the cocktail hour and their dinners. Lake Valhalla is very organized and aims to make everyone at the wedding happy, and they certainly did! We are so sad that the wedding process is over, and hope that one of our family members or friends chooses LVC to get married at soon so we can go there again to enjoy their amazing wedding experience!

    Our wedding was 3.18.17. Claudio and katrina could not have been more accommodating, helpful, and kind. The venue is beautiful, rustic, and perfect for couples who don't want the cookie cutter venue. Food was great at both the cocktail hour and dinner. Great selections to choose from and guests were happy. Overall, it was a beautiful and smooth day thanks to the staff and managers/maitre d!
    Thank you Claudio, Katrina, and LVC staff!

    Could not be happier with Lake Valhalla Club. From booking to after our big day, everyone was so helpful to us. Lisa was super easy to work with and got back to us right away anytime we had a question. We were able to customize our menu so that it was unique to us and our backgrounds and OMG.. Chef did an amazing job preparing everything. I had a lot of decorations and I was so happy to see that the staff made it all look absolutely breathtaking for our big day. Claudio was a dream and on top of every little thing during the wedding. I had such a good time and our guests are still raving about how amazing the day was. Thank you for making it so special!

    My Husband and I are so thankful to have found Lake Valhalla club for our June 2016 wedding. We were searching for the perfect indoor/outdoor location and also wanted a venue that was more relaxed (Un-Jersey if you will). Lisa, Claudio, and Kat were extremely helpful throughout the planning process. They answered all of our questions and made planning a breeze. They met every request and then some! I'm a details person and worked very hard on getting all of our details perfect for the day of. If I had my wedding at any other venue I would have been stressed out that they wouldn't understand my vision. Well the staff at Lake Valhalla Club understood my vision and made sure every little detail was perfect. I don't think I was stressed for one second regarding anything that had to do with the venue!

    It was amazing to see the younger staff work so hard. They were extremely professional and helpful! My Husband and I even got to eat dinner and enjoy our night all because the staff was so attentive. The food was and still is the most amazing food we've ever eating at a wedding (And no, I'm not saying this because we picked it as our venue I'm just stating facts here). Our guests still rave about the food, the service, and the views. OH and speaking of the views.... I never would have thought we would be able to have our dream wedding on a lake in NJ. We had the best of both worlds, an outdoor cocktail hour overlooking the beautiful lake. An indoor reception with an outdoor feel thanks to the lights strung above the dance floor. My Husband and I wish we could relive the day over and over again and wouldn't change a thing!

    Thank you so very much Lisa, Claudio, Kat and Staff!

    xoxo
