Wedding Date 29-04-2023
My fiancé and I just had our group tasting at Waterloo Village prior to our April 2023 wedding. There was SO many different options to try from in all areas such as cocktail hour drinks passed, hors d’oeuvres, cocktail hour food stations, appetizers, dinner items, cakes, dessert enhancements, and even a to go goody bag with treats! It was great having so many options to try from and gave us a clear vision for our wedding menu. Some of our favorites were the tomahawk steak, hanging pretzels, barbecue in a jar, salmon croquette, flat iron steak, and churros! We don’t know what was better, the presentation or the taste! To top it off, Jeffrey Miller was there himself chatting with guests and cooking delicious dishes which made it an even more personalized experience. All of the employees were extremely informative and happy to answer any questions we had. We are even more excited to have our upcoming wedding and for our guests to try all the fantastic dishes! It was a wonderful Saturday outing with my fiancé as it also allowed us to explore the venue and further envision our special day at such a beautiful venue. Kudos to the JAM team for all your hard work and friendly staff!

If I could give this wedding venue 10 stars I would! My daughter had her wedding at Waterloo Village on 1/1/24. Waterloo was exactly what my daughter and her fiance' dreamed of. Everything about our experience with Jeffrey A. Miller was outstanding. From the moment my husband and I stepped foot on the grounds we knew this was exactly what our daughter envisioned. We were met by Diane who was so kind! She showed us all around the grounds and inside all the buildings and explained all the different options we could choose from. Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding day. The food is outstanding and there are so many fun options to choose from. The rustic wedding decor and what is included makes planning a wedding so much easier. Between Diane and our wedding coordinator, Tessa, all our questions were answered, and they always got back to us right away. It was just an amazing day and there would not be a single thing we would change. I definitely recommend Waterloo Village and JAM for your wedding! You will not be disappointed. I hope I can have another event here!! It was so very enjoyable.

They say that your wedding day is the best day of your life and thanks to Waterloo Village Weddings ours really was! Everything about our experience with JAM and Waterloo Village Weddings was absolutely perfect. What drew us to this venue initially (aside from the idyllic location) was that they are a one-stop shop. Not having to coordinate with a venue, a caterer, a cake maker, a decorations rental and all of the other things you find out you need when planning a wedding made the experience so easy. It was so easy to pick our menus and really customize them to what we wanted. The rentable decor available was perfect for the look we were wanting and really created the rustic, country wedding of our dreams. And Christine and her team coordinated every detail with our outside vendors, as well. The team at Waterloo really know what they are doing and the pride they take in making your day perfect shows in so many ways. On our wedding day, it was windy and we were faced with the tough decision to move our ceremony inside. Christine (our Waterloo Coordinator) pulled together the most beautiful indoor ceremony for us. We were married in the Mule Barn which was just absolutely stunning. And the best part was we didn’t have to do anything! Christine and her team coordinated with our vendors and let them know of the new plan before I could even type a text message. Throughout the whole day, the entire staff made sure my wife and I always had full drinks and were eating the amazing food they had prepared for us. Our guests could not stop raving about the food! Honestly, it was so good! When it came to the end of the night, they already had all of our personal items packed up neatly and even broke down our chuppah and put it back in the rental truck for us. The team was incredible and really made it so that we could just enjoy the day and our guests. \tI could go on forever about how amazing Christine and her team at Waterloo Village, JAM, and just the whole experience was but just know that you will NOT regret having your wedding here. For the money you are paying you really get so MUCH MORE with JAM and Waterloo Village events! Hands down the best venue and catering company in Northern New Jersey.

Waterloo Village was EXACTLY the place we envisioned when we started to plan our wedding. My husband had wanted a place with amazing food, and we both wanted an outdoorsy venue what wasn't too fancy, but wasn't a barn. This was the perfect marriage of those wants! Touring the facility in 2021, we were totally enthralled by the size of the venue and all it had to offer! Alpacas at the cocktail hour? Free reign to take photos wherever we wanted on the property? Golf carts to escort guests/the bridal party? And SO MANY décor options that I wouldn't have all that to handle myself? And a coordinator to help you set it all up and be your day of coordinator? SIGN US UP!!! We had the pleasure of working with Carolyn to plan and execute the wedding. SHE IS FANTASTIC. Very reasonable to all our asks, and super accommodating. My mother-in-law has MS and is in a motorized chair that we found out during the tasting didn't fit under the farm tables that the venue had to offer. Carolyn GOT IT DONE and got us new tables for the venue that would accommodate her but fit our vision! She was kind, calm, cool and collected. Even when I had so many people drop out the day before that I had to redo the tables and food cards last minute! Through every step of the way, I felt calm an supported! We had a blast at our wedding and we totally recommend if you want an incredible venue, with incredible food, chill vibes and so much help, then Waterloo is the place for you! We got married in October 2023! And even through the two years of planning with them, they kept everything straight and literally made our day PERFECT!

Waterloo Village is such a beautiful, breathtaking venue. The team that I worked with was so accommodating and thoughtful. I didn't have one worry about the details of my wedding day. They took care of the decor, coordinating my vendors the day of, and the food was outstanding! It wound up raining a little on my wedding day and the staff did everything they could to keep my ceremony outside. They even drove me and my wedding party around on golf carts to get any photo we wanted on the property. 12/10 would recommend!!

We couldn't be more excited about our upcoming wedding at Waterloo Village. The entire team, especially Christine, have been helpful throughout the entire process. We especially enjoyed our group tasting, which gave us a great chance to sample the great food and many desserts. It's also been nice taking advantage of their open houses, which really gave us a chance to get a feel for the space and what the day would be like. Very happy with our decision to go with Waterloo!

My fiancé and I will be getting married, September of next year at Waterloo Village. From the moment I walked onto the property, walking past the garden, orchard and walking up the brick path to where the reception will be, my fiancé and I agreed, this is where we say “I do”. The rustic romantic feel of the venue and everything you could possibly need is already included in the price. They offer a variety of decor and lighting options and the venue has several stone fireplaces that add to the ambiance. The entire meeting and tour with the manager Diane was perfect! Diane’s passion, personality and vision when she talked about where we could have our 1st look to the reception set up was exactly how I envisioned my wedding day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Waterloo Village.

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!

My wife and I got married at Waterloo this July, 2023. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel to Jeffery, Diane, and everyone involved in making our special day happen. The beautiful and rustic location was everything we could have ever dreamed of. From the farm and the sweet animals, to the rustic barns and greenery, it all felt like a fairytale. They even provide table decor that goes so elegantly with the solid wood tables in the reception space. We are especially thankful to Diane, who went above and beyond to help us in every way and answer any questions we may have had . We truly cannot recommend JAM at Waterloo enough.

I could not be happier with this venue. JAM catering has been so helpful and flexible with every aspect of the event planning. My favorite thing about Waterloo Village is that the site is beautiful on it's own and I've had to do minimal work in terms of decorations. SO much is included in their price per person (even the alpacas & firepit!). I'm not even getting flower centerpieces because their included décor is perfect. Tessa is our event coordinator and she is the BEST. She answers promptly and has been so accommodating. Diane has also been SO great from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend this venue.

Every time my fiancé and I visit Waterloo Village, we get more and more excited to get married there this fall. We went for our group tasting, and it was an awesome event!! We brought my parents, sister, and brother-in-law, and we all agreed that the tasting felt like a mini wedding! The JAM staff were all very friendly and helpful with answering all of our questions. We got to try everything from signature drinks, welcome drinks, cocktail stations and passed hors d'oeuvres, several different entrees, dessert stations, and at least 8 different cakes! We walked out stuffed and happy and also had a great idea of what our favorites were that we want to serve our guests. They even had Metrobus there too (who we also booked for our wedding) for taking fun photobooth pics! JAM catering continues to impress us and we are looking forward to building our delicious menu out with them soon! :)

She was professional, responsive, and always went the extra mile to ensure that our vision and preferences were met.

Not only was the food we got to eat and choose from excellent, but the group tasting was an experience we can now add to our wedding memories. We brought parents from both sides of the families and had great drinks, laughs, and an overall amazing time all while getting to know other couples and bonding with the Waterloo staff.

Waterloo is an incredible unique venue! My fiancé and I attended a group tasting at Waterloo today and we were able to ask all our questions to the coordinators and try all of the food. The food was amazing, and the variety was everything you could hope for! From the first day we went just to walk around, to our official tour, to open house and now their food tasting we have been impressed every step of the way. We cannot wait until our wedding with JAM catering at Waterloo!

Waterloo is the PERFECT venue for couples looking to find a unique and fun venue! The minute we stepped onto their property, we knew we HAD to get married there. Their staff was warm and welcoming and answered all of our questions during our first meet. After booking, things only got better. We worked directly with Carolyn and quite honestly, I couldn’t have done it without her. She made sure we were on budget, on schedule, and (most importantly) seeing our vision for our wedding come to life! She answered all our questions and helped make sure we were happy with all the choices/options we chose/were offered. Waterloo has delicious food, beautiful decor, and is located inside a GORGEOUS historical park. Guests are RAVING about the food, drink, lawn games, alpaca meet and greet, and every aspect of this venue. If you are thinking about booking Waterloo, do it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Carolyn, Diane, and everybody at Waterloo for making our wedding dreams come true!

I knew that I wanted our Venue to be Waterloo Village as soon as I found their instagram page. Their rustic and laidback vibe was exactly what we were looking for. Our guests have not stopped raving about how unique and amazing our wedding day was, and that was all thanks to the staff at Waterloo. Tessa ( our coordinator ) was absolutely amazing and organized our entire day beautifully. The food was amazing, so many different options. And the venue itself was beautiful. So unique and it made for an amazing time. Our guests LOVED the llamas and the cornhole at cocktail hour, and the firepit and pizza at the end of the night. Overall there is not one negative thing I could say about Waterloo Village. We would love to relive that day over and over again thanks to all the hard work of the staff there.

There literally was NO issue throughout the entire celebration and we could not have asked for a better wedding day. The attention to detail and attentive staff did not go unnoticed. We HIGHLY recommend anyone to check this place out; you cannot compare Waterloo to any other venue, especially for the price!

From the tour, to the tasting, to the day of our wedding, we felt supported and appreciated by the whole staff from Jeffrey A. Miller catering. Some venues we reached out to wouldn’t even respond to us! We knew we were in the right hands as soon as we met Maria and her team. There are so many things that are included in their packages, and we felt very fortunate to not have to worry about many aspects of planning because of this. Decor, cake, ceremony locations…the list goes on. The cost was very reasonable when you took that into account. We also used a few of their preferred vendors and had a great experience with all of them. The food and drinks were delicious. Our guests couldn’t believe how awesome everything was! Our event designer/coordinator was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our wedding felt like a dream come true and many of our guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Thank you so much to the team!!!

So far everyone has been wonderful to work with, especially Maria and Carolyn. They're been reliable and reassuring throughout the process and have provided so much peace of mind for my fiancé and I who live in California. So much is included beyond what we could have hoped for especially as a couple who lives out of state. Multiple ceremony locations, alpacas!, even a cozy firepit. This venue is fulfilling our rustic dreams. We can’t wait to have our special day at Waterloo Village.

Diane showed us the numerous choices for our ceremony and photos. Maria broke down a price calculation for us. The entree items at our tasting were absolutely delicious it was so hard to choose! I appreciate that they grow many of their own herbs and vegetables and use fresh in season ingredients.

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.

There are 5 or so different places to choose from for your ceremony and something I love is that if the weather is not cooperating, they only need a couple hours of notice to move it inside. It’s 2 different spaces for cocktail hour & the reception, both gorgeous and have indoor & outdoor areas. Everyone has been great to work with and the food is great! Some of it was even grown on site! Highly recommend

When my husband and I think about the best day of our lives, it is our wedding. That would not have been possible if not for JAM Catering at Waterloo Village. From the moment we booked to the night we left, the staff was supportive and responsive every step of the way (with a smile on their face). We had 2 months to plan the wedding, so all hands were on deck. Tessa, Danielle, and Maria made all things possible. Responses were quick and always two steps ahead of me. Every time there was a change, it was not a problem and they were happy to accommodate. They have a solid system and execute it in the most professional way. I truly had a team to depend on, which is so important. They are organized and you can tell everyone there loves what they do. The wedding day went perfect. I did not have to think about one thing. As the bride and groom, were guided from place to place and everything went as planned. They are detail oriented and the communication with the other vendors and in-house staff is strong. We received so many compliments from friends and family about the food, location, ambiance, and all around good vibe that the venue provides. They day was simply magical. We can not wait to go back on our one year anniversary and have a picnic on the gorgeous landscape! We highly recommend Waterloo Village, JAM Catering.

The food is outstanding; our guests would not stop raving about it. All the staff made my husband and I feel like celebrities on our wedding day, even anticipating our needs. JAM played a key role in making our wedding a dream come true!

Waterloo Village was a dream venue for a rustic winter wedding. My husband and I got married in December 2020 and held our anniversary reception at Waterloo. Every last detail was incredible, from the food (our guests raved about the cocktail hour!) to the setting to the amazing outdoor lighting and historic venue. Word to the wise: Don't skip out on the fire pit after party -- it was a HUGE hit with our guests and capped off the end to a magical evening. Christine at Waterloo was great to work with, always helpful in answering every last question. Highly recommend Waterloo!

After meeting with them I realized they can not only give me everything and more that I dreamed of for our wedding, but that I can do it all within my budget as well. Pleasing my chef fiancé was going to be hard to do, but he didn’t even hesitate once we learned that our wedding would be farm to table with the ingredients and products grown right there on the property!

The photos do not even do any justice to how beautiful and versatile of a venue Waterloo Village is! A big piece that was very important to both my fiance and I when picking a venue was to have an outdoor ceremony but also have a rain plan that we liked just as much. Well, we liked the indoor plan so much it has actually become our choice to have our wedding ceremony inside! Also getting married in the summer (August) we wanted air conditioning. Many rustic venues such as barns or farms do not have air conditioned facilities so we were very happy to learn Waterloo offered that. There are so many choices of ceremony sites as well as numerous outdoor locations for amazing photos. Waterloo Village has so much rich history and we are thrilled to be able to bring that into our wedding.

JAM absolutely knocked it out of the park, and we had guests raving about the cocktail hour spread as well as the entrees and other food during the reception (which I've found at some weddings can actually kind of be an afterthought...) Everyone we worked with at the venue was thoughtful, diligent, just on their game, not to mention the venue is just gorgeous on its own! Every detail was spectacular. Looking back, there was nowhere else I would have rather celebrated such a special occasion.

Waterloo Village was everything we we're looking for and more. When we started the process of looking for a venue we knew we wanted something rustic and we knew we wanted something with air conditioning. (we aren't that rustic) Initially, when we started looking we kept coming across different barns and other rentable spaces where we would have to bring everything in, tables, chairs, even dance floors in some cases. Then we stumbled upon Waterloo Village, we went to visit and they had every detail that we're looking for, everything was perfect, the tables, the chairs, little lighting details, giant fire places, a fire pit, a wood fired brick oven for pizzas, a sperate building for the cocktail hour and the gorgeous back drop of a the State park. It was the only venue we looked at and we signed two days later. We booked in October of '17 our date was 4-27-19 so we had plenty of time to plan. Waterloo has multiple open houses throughout the year so you can go up and get a feel for the space and ask questions, get measurements, or bring in your outside vendors to check out the space. We went up multiple times and really utilized these open houses to customize our day, plus we really liked going up there just to check out the park which has a canal and a little waterfall and great old buildings that were really great back drops for our pictures. We did our tasting in March of '18, we realized we got so swept up in the look of the venue that we never tried the food. Waterloo does their tastings in groups based on when your date is. It is set up like a mini wedding, you and other couples go to a cocktail hour and then to the main building for a dinner and dessert. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. We were totally blown away everything was so good. Also during the tasting there are outside vendors that are also invited, and it was great being able to talk with other couples to share ideas about planning. About 5 months before our date we were assigned our planner, Kasia. Kasia was great, when we first met we hit it off right a way, we started with finalizing our menu and creating a plan for day-of. Over the next few months is when the real nerves start to hit and whenever we needed her Kasia was there to calm us down and tell us we were doing great and on track with our day. As we got closer she also helped us organize our outside vendors (florist, photo, photo booth etc) and make sure everyone was on the same page and taking alot of the burden and worry off us. The day of was AMAZING. Absolutely perfect. Everything went seamlessly. Everyone raved about the food. All of our small details were perfectly in place. Kasia made sure we stayed on track all day, even found us ten mins to decompress after the ceremony and get ready to enjoy the night. We had people contacting us the week after the wedding and telling us they were still on a high from the day. We absolutely loved Waterloo Village. If you're looking for a Rustic type venue with really top notch food and a beautiful background, I don't think you will find one better than Waterloo in New Jersey.

Waterloo Village was everything we we're looking for and more. When we started the process of looking for a venue we knew we wanted something rustic and we knew we wanted something with air conditioning. (we aren't that rustic) Initially, when we started looking we kept coming across different barns and other rentable spaces where we would have to bring everything in, tables, chairs, even dance floors in some cases. Then we stumbled upon Waterloo Village, we went to visit and they had every detail that we're looking for, everything was perfect, the tables, the chairs, little lighting details, giant fire places, a fire pit, a wood fired brick oven for pizzas, a sperate building for the cocktail hour and the gorgeous back drop of a the State park. It was the only venue we looked at and we signed two days later. We booked in October of '17 our date was 4-27-19 so we had plenty of time to plan. Waterloo has multiple open houses throughout the year so you can go up and get a feel for the space and ask questions, get measurements, or bring in your outside vendors to check out the space. We went up multiple times and really utilized these open houses to customize our day, plus we really liked going up there just to check out the park which has a canal and a little waterfall and great old buildings that were really great back drops for our pictures. We did our tasting in March of '18, we realized we got so swept up in the look of the venue that we never tried the food. Waterloo does their tastings in groups based on when your date is. It is set up like a mini wedding, you and other couples go to a cocktail hour and then to the main building for a dinner and dessert. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. We were totally blown away everything was so good. Also during the tasting there are outside vendors that are also invited, and it was great being able to talk with other couples to share ideas about planning.

Our wedding isn't for a few months yet but if it's even 1/2 as good as our experience has been so far, then it's going to be incredible! Maria has been so helpful with all of our questions and concerns, the tasting was unlike anything I've ever seen!! The food was PHENOMENAL and I come from a restaurant background. The tasting felt more like attending a wedding than anything else, from the passed apps, open bar, cocktails, stations, table service to live music and decor, it was beyond my expectations. I've been to several tastings with friends/family, none even compared. The food options were so unique and customizable. I'm all about sustainability and their seasonal farm to table style fit perfectly in that. Considering how many add ons we chose and the options we selected, their pricing is SOOO reasonable. Beyond the catering, the space is gorgeous. The grounds are vast and have so many beautiful nooks for photos. I love that they provide yard games for cocktail hour too. If nothing else, people are going to walk out of our wedding saying that it was fun and unique. I cannot wait to see our whole vision come together but I have absolutely no doubt it'll be amazing!

Although we have not tied the yet (planning for 9/22/19) I cannot tell you how easy, fun and amazing JAM catering has made planning our wedding at Waterloo Village. Maria and all of their staff know exactly what they are doing and have only heard good things from the multiple people I know who have gotten married there. First of all the food is made by master chefs, the rustic decor with several different details and beautiful accents (Mason jars, farm tables, burlap, candles, table numbers, etc.) are completely included at no extra cost and there are several indoor and outdoor locations for the ceremony. Don't even get me started on the gorgeous bridal cottage and the historical buildings perfect for any photo backdrop. I highly recommend looking into this venue tucked away in a gorgeous and secluded location.

Not only did my husband and I feel at ease the moment we met Maria and Kasia, but the venue was exactly the vibe we wanted! Waterloo Village is such a different, rustic and beautiful place. We couldn't imagine ourselves getting married anywhere else. To know Maria and Kasia is to love them! They answered my millions of questions without any hesitation, and were incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Kasia made the flow of my night PERFECT! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help executive our special day. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything because I knew everything would be handled properly. And it was! The ambiance, food and after-party on site was perfect! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about JAM. Thank you again for making our special day so perfect! We will always look back on October 5th, 2018 with nothing but fond and positive memories! We hope our paths cross again in the future!!! Love,The Rozzis

My husband and I got married at Waterloo Village on 10/13/18. I cannot begin to explain how perfect our day and entire experience was. From the first day that we went to the venue and met with Maria we knew that this was our venue. The open house that we went to was comprehensive and Maria was quick to give us a tour around the property. We fell in love immediately. From the meeting house to all the beautiful options for ceremony locations we knew it was the place for us. I highly recommend doing the tasting- they have all couples getting married that year or first half of the year and it really is like a party itself. You get to try all the amazing food and also mingle with other couples which was great. Our planner was Christina and she was great. I have to say, in the beginning there was not a ton of communication (we booked about a year and 10 months before our date) which was a little nerve wracking but honestly there is little need for communication up front because they have everything taken care of and everything was absolutely perfect the day of. Christina was communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding which is the most important part. She pulled everything off so effortlessly and perfectly the day of the wedding. Our flower girl fell in some mud in her white dress and Christina immediately brought her back to the bathroom and fixed her up as if nothing ever happened! She was always nearby in case we had anything come up during the reception that we needed her for.For our day, we got married in the mule barn which was a dream! The mule is so beautiful with little to no decorations and was a great indoor option as we were a little nervous about the fall weather. The cocktail hour was a big hit- we picked one station (the BBQ in a jar) and people raved about it. We had 150 people and I think the one station was fine for that amount of people. The reception was flawless! The food was amazing, and the wait staff, bartender, and captain were all so friendly and accommodating. We had the braised short ribs, chicken and a salmon dish. All were delicious- the short ribs were my favorite! We did the cannoli station for dessert and it was the perfect addition to our delicious wedding cake. We also did a groom’s cake that the staff decorated so perfectly! I think it even got more comments than our actual wedding cake! Overall the day at Waterloo Village could not have been more perfect. We wish we could do it all over again and are trying to convince all our friends to get married here so we can go to another wedding as a guest! Job well done by Jam Catering and the entire staff at Waterloo!

This venue is amazing. Everything was beyond perfect, the food, the flow of the evening, the decor, literally everything. The staff are highly qualified and really know what they are doing. All couples who get married here or have a reception here are assigned a venue planner. Christina was our venue planner and she was instrumental in the success of the day. We can't thank her enough. Not a thing was overlooked. The best part about this venue is that nearly everything was included in the wedding package, the only other things we needed to take care of were the music and the photographer. THAT'S IT. We were definitely a more non-traditional couple, but even so the venue accommodated everything we asked. We even had pie instead of cake, what could be better! I could go on and on about how wonderful everything was, but if you are considering having your wedding and or reception here, you really need to check it out for yourself. You WILL NOT be disappointed!! Thank you JAM!!!!

We had our wedding just a few weeks ago (September 15) and it was truly a dream come true. Waterloo Village is an absolutely stunning location and such a gem. I grew up going on field trips here and when I learned that we could host our reception here, I was so excited. From the very start, Maria worked with us as we set our wedding date and was always so warm, friendly, and accommodating. She answered our large list of questions and we knew from day one we were in great hands. Christina was our planner and worked with us to establish a lot of the nitty gritty details: menu, decorations, logistics. She was an absolute delight to work with and always promptly responded to our questions as well. We had probably a total of 3 site visits to Waterloo in the course of the year, and every time, Maria and Christina treated us like family. On the day of our wedding, their hard work and dedication throughout the year truly shined. Our reception was fantastic and we are still dreaming about it. Everything we discussed with Christina came to life. The room was absolutely stunning- we received so many compliments. Countless guests remarked at how delicious the food was, noting its high quality and freshness. Our guests loved the games, the fire pit, and being able to hang out outside-something which was always key to our vision. We have had a number of guests also compliment the true level of detail they observed throughout the evening- for example, the wine glasses and beer at cocktail hour were already poured and ready for guests to grab. This made for many happy guests and helped with the flow of our large crowd of about 180 people. The space itself fit everyone comfortably. There were also snacks and champagne that was waiting for us in the bridal cottage-this was such a nice touch on top of what was already such a lovely space. All in all, Waterloo Village and the professional staff truly made our dreams a reality- we cannot recommend Waterloo Village enough!

My husband and I got married at Waterloo about a month ago and it could not have been more perfect. We had initially planned on getting married in the \"secret garden\" in front of a beautiful tree but because of possible storms we decided to have our ceremony in the Mule Barn. This was not an easy decision for us to make but Tessa our planner gave us until 1PM the day of the wedding (which is very generous) to make the final decision; and honestly we all agreed the ceremony was even more beautiful in the Mule barn than it ever could have been outside. Throughout the night my husband and I got endless compliments about how beautiful our ceremony was, how amazing the grounds are and how unbelievably good the food was! I think about half the guests , if not more, told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Tessa was our planner and made us feel so special the day of. She really went above and beyond making the mule barn and every other detail just perfect for us. The fire pit after party was also just amazing. Everyone loved the pizza, I am still hearing from guests how good it was! My husband and I can not stop talking about how amazing Waterloo, Tessa, Maria and the entire JAM team was. We wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding day! Thank you so much JAM ! You made our wedding day unforgettable!

From the moment I walked into the open house at Waterloo Village I knew this is where I was going to get married. The manager of the location, Maria, is so incredibly nice and I'm so glad she was with us for the whole journey. Whenever I had a question or concern she would get back to me quickly with all the information I needed.Delicious is not a strong enough word to describe the food that JAM makes. We received so many compliments about the food served during cocktail hour and dinner. The pork belly...wow. We had a family style meal where we got to pick 2 entrees which were served on platters along with various sides on each table. This way our guests could choose what they wanted to eat as if they were at a family dinner. It was the best decision we could have made and was such a hit with everyone. I wish JAM had a restaurant so that I can eat their food whenever I want. Seriously good food.We had originally decided not to have an appetizer because cocktail hour is just a bunch of apps. But JAM's gardens produced too many greens and with winter coming they wanted to use them up. So they offered to make a garden salad app free of charge instead of letting them go to waste.My only complaint about JAM is that when the florist dropped off our flowers for the groomsmen and family, our coordinator didn't make sure that everyone got their flowers. When I asked where the flowers were after noticing that family members were not wearing the boutonnieres and wristlets I ordered for them, she didn't know where the flowers had ended up. Other than that, she was on top of everything else and made sure all the decorations were perfectly placed.One of the things I love about JAM is that so much is included in the price. We got a 5 hour deluxe open bar, no extra charge. And if you have any guests under 21, the price for them is less because they won't be drinking alcohol. The cake is also included in the price which takes some stress away from having to find a bakery. There's also a ton of decorations included that go perfectly with the rustic aesthetic of the venue. They really try hard to make your wedding day as painless and affordable as possible.It was a dream of a wedding and was so incredibly beautiful I'm still having a hard time believing it was real.

From the moment I walked into the open house at Waterloo Village I knew this is where I was going to get married. The manager of the location, Maria, is so incredibly nice and I'm so glad she was with us for the whole journey. Whenever I had a question or concern she would get back to me quickly with all the information I needed.Delicious is not a strong enough word to describe the food that JAM makes. We received so many compliments about the food served during cocktail hour and dinner. The pork belly...wow. We had a family style meal where we got to pick 2 entrees which were served on platters along with various sides on each table. This way our guests could choose what they wanted to eat as if they were at a family dinner. It was the best decision we could have made and was such a hit with everyone. I wish JAM had a restaurant so that I can eat their food whenever I want. Seriously good food.We had originally decided not to have an appetizer because cocktail hour is just a bunch of apps. But JAM's gardens produced too many greens and with winter coming they wanted to use them up. So they offered to make a garden salad app free of charge instead of letting them go to waste.My only complaint about JAM is that when the florist dropped off our flowers for the groomsmen and family, our coordinator didn't make sure that everyone got their flowers. When I asked where the flowers were after noticing that family members were not wearing the boutonnieres and wristlets I ordered for them, she didn't know where the flowers had ended up. Other than that, she was on top of everything else and made sure all the decorations were perfectly placed.One of the things I love about JAM is that so much is included in the price.

I had my wedding at Waterloo in early November and it was truly an amazing event! I received endless compliments about the food. The dinner and cocktail hour options are so interesting and delicious; there is truly no other wedding your guests will go to that has a similar menu. We also had a special request for a cocktail hour station that the chef was able to create for us. They are very flexible with the food options!Our planner was Christina and she is truly amazing. We requested to move our ceremony spot from outside to inside about 5 hours before the wedding start time and she accommodated happily and it was probably MORE gorgeous than it would've originally been! Anything we asked of her was fulfilled, and she was constantly asking my husband and I if we needed anything throughout the reception. We weren't able to have our rehearsal on site, and she had everyone lined up and and walking as if we had practiced 100 times. I cannot say enough good things about Christina.The reason I am stressing how good our actual day was is because leading up to the day was very stressful and confusing. I found out about two months out that there was a minimum guest count for the after party. I also heard about 3 different responses when asked what the minimum guest count was for the reception. They also require/highly suggest that you put a menu selection card in your invitation, which I would imagine would have to be told at the time of signing the contract as I had already sent my invitations out when we met for menu selections. I will say again that everything worked out at the end and everyone I worked with was very helpful, but ask questions, ask questions, ask questions! One reason we chose Waterloo was because almost everything is included. They have hundreds of included decorations and rental options (won't find that anywhere else), a day-of coordinator/planner, tables, chairs, linens, champagne glasses, liquor and equipment, and plenty of food! For the price, the value is all there. What's not included are those annoying fees that all other venues have and gratuity, which they stress is all based on performance! The invoicing was all very straight forward and everything that was to be included was there. All in all, I am so happy we chose Waterloo and JAM catering- highly suggested!

I've broken down my review into several pieces, since there is so much to take into consideration when choosing a venue!Price: Affordability is subjective, so I'll mention what is included in the price and the transparency. Their package pricing includes pretty much everything you would need for a wedding; venue, food, staff, chairs/tables/linens, decorations (!) , and most importantly a coordinator. To be honest, you could book Waterloo, a dj, a photographer, and just show up day-of and it would be a totally great wedding! For what is included in the base price packages, we found Waterloo to be a fantastic value. Not just for the tangibles, but for the benefit of having everything being done by one company. It made the wedding planning incredibly easy. We did not have to coordinate anything, it was all entirely taken care of. We also really appreciated the transparency of Waterloo's pricing. They tell you what it will be per person, and that is what it ACTUALLY IS. There are no additional service fees, and tips were repeatedly noted as optional. The bar staff did not even have a tip jar out for the wedding guests to tip them (which was ultra classy in my opinion). The add-on's that they offer are actual add-on's, as their base packages include an abundant amount of food for the cocktail hour, and a really nice open bar. Staff: The wedding coordinators are fantastic and it is AMAZING that for how helpful they are, it is included in the package. Maria was our coordinator (and I believe she is also the main person in charge of organizing + booking weddings). Leading up to the wedding Maria nailed down our day-of schedule, allowed us to come early to set up decorations, and asked us a bunch of questions to make sure everything flowed smoothly. On the day of, Maria and an assistant coordinator worked with our officiant, dj, photographer, and bridal party to get everyone to the right place at the right time. She also decorated our cake, which I realized the night before I had forgotten about. I handed her a bunch of leftover greenery from our centerpieces and asked her if she could throw them on the cake somehow. The result was beautiful, it looked extremely professional (Maria turned out to have owned a bakery in the past)! The rest of the staff was also great, everything came out on time and my dad even became friends with one of the bartenders.Food: Can’t say enough about how great the food was at our wedding! One of our favorite touches was a sampler plate of all cocktail hour foods waiting for us in the bridal cottage right after the ceremony. We were able to take a break before mingling with our guests and try everything! There was not one thing served at our wedding that we didn’t try, and it was all fantastic. The bbq in a jar was certainly a highlight! The entrees were also great, including the perfectly cooked salmon. The cake was also insane, my husband and I ate all of the leftover pieces that they gave us the very next day, four giant pieces. So delicious! Location/vibe: Waterloo Village is within Allamuchy State Park, and so it is surrounded by very picturesque woods, the canal, and some old buildings from when it was a functioning village. This meant all of our wedding photos had a variety of backgrounds and were all dreamy!Overall our experience with Waterloo could not have been better. They always say that something goes always goes wrong at your wedding, but ours was truly perfect thanks to JAM @ Waterloo!

Waterloo Village was an absolutely beautiful place for our marriage. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and different than your typical wedding venue. The planning process was easy and straight forward. They provided a group tasting that gave us insight into what our wedding itself would be life. The food options for both cocktail hour and reception were amazing. We were told over and over by guests how great and different the food was than your typical wedding. There were a couple things that did happen that we were a tad disappointed with. First, my now husband had a somewhat unpleasant interaction with an assistant on the day of the wedding when he asked if he'd be able to have a cup of coffee. Also, we planned and discussed an afterparty that was somehow overlooked on their part. They were quick, responsive and helpful when this problem was brought to their attention. Overall, these small missteps did not take away from the wonderful day and experience we had at Waterloo Village.

Couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Our guests raved all night about the gorgeous grounds, decorations, and food - it didn't hurt that the weather was absolutely perfect! Planning the event was relatively stress-free and Christina, our planner, was awesome. Our wedding was pretty large (about 175 people, I think capacity at the venue is 180) so the only real issue was that it took quite a while for all dinners to be plated, but all in all a flawless, fun and memorable night. Thank you JAM!

My daughter was recently married here. I have to admit it was definitely not my first choice for a wedding venue, but my daughter and future son-in-law eventually won that argument. It turned out to be a beautiful event. The weather cooperated and we were able to have the cocktail hour outside on the patio surrounding the meetinghouse. The venue is not without its shortcomings however. The pavilion, where we held the ceremony, is not air conditioned. There were not enough chairs set up for the ceremony even though they knew how many people to expect. Some people had to stand in the back. Parking is a pretty long distance from the actual venue. They do have one golf cart that can carry a few guests at a time back and forth. We also arranged for shuttle buses from our hotel that were able to drop our guests off closer to the area where the festivities were taking place. The paths between the buildings are made of widely spaced flagstone, which makes for some tricky walking. The meetinghouse, where we held the reception, has only one single rest room each for men and women. There are additional restrooms in a nearby building, but guests have to go outside to access them. Overall, the grounds are lovely. There is a working farm where vegetables are grown. Sheep and chickens wander about. There are some really pretty spots for photos. If you are looking for a rustic venue that doesn't have the noise and time restrictions of some barn weddings, you should check this place out.Now for the catering. There is an exclusive caterer who supplies the food. In general, the food was delicious. However, I did have a couple of issues. The passed hors d'oeuvres at the cocktail hour ran out very quickly. I think there were supposed to be nine different kinds. I never saw half of them. Some of the guests never saw any. Fortunately, I paid for four stations, which seemed to have enough food for the guests. The barbecue in a jar was a big hit!The bar supplies are very basic. No flavored vodkas or anything like that. One of the two bartenders was totally incompetent. Our signature cocktails were lacking signage and I was not told in advance that there would be an extra charge for them. We did hire an outside wedding planner and that was key in having the wedding flow as smoothly as it did.

Our timeline for the reception totally fell apart because cocktail hour ran 35 minutes too long and we had to serve dinner right after speeches, making for an awkwardly timed low-energy rift in what was supposed to be a night focused around dancing. What bothered me the most was that Maria pulled me aside a few times to inform me of snafus and asked me what to do throughout the reception -- I was the bride and wanted nothing to do with what was going on in the background, whether it was going wrong or perfectly as planned. Is that not the purpose of a day-of coordinator/planner? That was a buzzkill. Nothing could have truly ruined our wedding and overall it was an incredible day, our guests had the best time. As the bride and groom, we weren't totally happy. If we had to do it all over I wouldn't do it here. I have to be honest that the poor communication, forgetfulness, and misinformation made wedding planning a nightmare. This venue/caterer is probably better suited for a simple American wedding, not a good choice for cultural weddings.

I would highly recommend NEVER going to the Waterloo Village for your wedding unless you want to be treated horribly. My fiance and I took a tour of the location and decided it was perfect for what we wanted. Robyn was our contact person. In the beginning I thought maybe she was just busy and couldn't answer my questions (the basics, like what kind of décor we could use, setting up the tasting..etc..) I even sent her a link to my pinterest to make it even easier for her, she said “That's nice.” The tasting was not what we asked for, even the chef was annoyed by the miscommunication from Robyn. I was very upset and emailed her and she did not even apologize, just wanted to set up the next meeting. So the next meeting came and she did not show up or answer my phone call. I called the owner of the company the next day asking for another wedding planner and he told us our money would be refunded, just like that. Basically ruining my wedding because he didn't care that Robyn could do no wrong. He also said “Everyone is entitled to a bad day.” The owner never apologized to me directly but to my father for the way he spoke to me. I was completely appalled, miserable and stressed out for weeks. How can you spend 2 and ½ months with a client and then drop them because your employees are inefficient? Also found out that their newest wedding planner (who had only planned one wedding) was going to be our official planner 3 months before the wedding. I know there are some crazy bridezillas out there but the whole time I asked normal questions and she couldn't handle it. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE AVOID THIS PLACE!

Where do I begin?? First off, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Robyn w/ JAM Catering who made our wedding day PERFECT! With her help, all of the planning and organizing went so smoothly that we didn't stress about anything. We can't thank you enough! \r\rWaterloo Village is such a beautiful location and we can't get enough of it. (We visit the park often with our two dogs.) We just love what JAM catering has done with the location. We fell in love with the fact that our entire wedding could take place in one gorgeous location. We had our ceremony at the gazebo (BEAUTIFUL), Cocktails + H'ourderves (AMAZING) in the pavilion, reception in the main meeting house (Perfect), and our \"after-party\" at the fire pit (Made to order brick oven pizzas, beer, and s'mores!) The decor, ambience, food and location were absolutely perfect for us. We can honestly say that we wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day and that IS because of Robyn and Waterloo. We are extremely lucky to have found this venue. I HIGHLY recommend them for your event! \r\rMain Reasons why Waterloo Village is the perfect place for an event... \rThe food is out of this world (every one of our guests commented on it!) \rThe location is stunning, especially in the Fall. (we got the PERFECT day) \rThe Venue is Farm-To-Table (which was a major plus to us) \rThe people are genuinely nice and helpful. (Robyn is amazing!) \rJAM Catering cares about the park and is helping to restore it. \rThe Beer selection was incredible \rThe desserts were AMAZING! (We did multiple Pies and Apple Cider Donuts) \rThe feel and decor of the venue is perfect for a Rustic / Warm & Loving Wedding. \r\rPlease check them out. You will not regret it!

With her help, all of the planning and organizing went so smoothly that we didn't stress about anything. We can't thank you enough! \r\rWaterloo Village is such a beautiful location and we can't get enough of it. (We visit the park often with our two dogs.) We just love what JAM catering has done with the location. We fell in love with the fact that our entire wedding could take place in one gorgeous location. We had our ceremony at the gazebo (BEAUTIFUL), Cocktails + H'ourderves (AMAZING) in the pavilion, reception in the main meeting house (Perfect), and our \"after-party\" at the fire pit (Made to order brick oven pizzas, beer, and s'mores!) The decor, ambience, food and location were absolutely perfect for us. We can honestly say that we wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day and that IS because of Robyn and Waterloo. We are extremely lucky to have found this venue. I HIGHLY recommend them for your event! \r\rMain Reasons why Waterloo Village is the perfect place for an event... \rThe food is out of this world (every one of our guests commented on it!) \rThe location is stunning, especially in the Fall. (we got the PERFECT day) \rThe Venue is Farm-To-Table (which was a major plus to us) \rThe people are genuinely nice and helpful. (Robyn is amazing!) \rJAM Catering cares about the park and is helping to restore it. \rThe Beer selection was incredible \rThe desserts were AMAZING! (We did multiple Pies and Apple Cider Donuts) \rThe feel and decor of the venue is perfect for a Rustic / Warm & Loving Wedding. \r\rPlease check them out. You will not regret it!
