Excellent, elegant, we are so happy

We were married at the north shore house 9.30.22 and it was nothing short of perfection
From beginning to end Kelly and Eric were so helpful, every little detail was taken care of, went above and beyond for us and really made our day so special. They helped us with details I didn’t even think of and made everything go SO SMOOTH
The food, incredible, the grounds, so well kept, the drinks, strong!
I am so grateful to have been able to have such a special day at such a beautiful location, I don’t think I could’ve asked for anything more!
Most importantly, we had fun, so so much fun

Hidden gem of Sussex County, NJ!!

We fell in love with this venue the first time we visited. The setting, size, and decor were perfect. We even did our engagement photos across the lake at Swartswood Park. Eric and Kelly were pleasant, easy to work with, and friendly. They didn't pressure us and were willing to work with us. They made planning a wedding easy and fun because they knew how to make our day perfect. We can't say enough wonderful things about the staff on the wedding day. Their service was exceptional; from the bridal assistant to the team during the reception, it made it easy for us to enjoy our day without worries. New Jersey’s best-kept wedding venue secret. Top-notch wedding venue! We recommend that anyone book for their wedding or event or go to the Blue Heron for dinner. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much, Eric, Kelly, and the team! You made our day extraordinarily.
