Let me start with this, one of my friend’s is a retired wedding/event coordinator and she said she’s never seen a team as good as the MBR team in her 20 years. The atrium is a beautiful ceremony location, the ballroom is classy and perfect for a wedding bash, their vendors are excellent, and they are just a well oiled machine. They take great notes throughout the process and check in with you, their software platform makes it easy and I just can’t say enough good things about the day of. I had someone constantly checking in to see if I needed something to drink or food, etc. We went down the street for pics and a coordinator came with us and made sure we had water when we got back. 100/10 rating. Also, so many photo opps near the venue.

It was clear that they have significant experience with events and weddings, and I felt I could trust them to make my day as magical as possible. On the day they were always there to help me and check in to make sure I was enjoying myself.

The venue was gorgeous, all the staff was wonderful, the atmosphere getting ready and leading up to the ceremony was everything we wanted, and THE FOOD was so so good. We recommend going with the cake vendor. We loved their selections so much they allowed us to have to cake flavors for our wedding. Everything was such great quality. We recommend a fall wedding if possible here. The grounds of the club are amazing for photos.

Had our wedding 9/14/24. Absolutely amazing. Katy was so helpful and attentive and made planning a breeze. The staff were absolutely amazing and helped every step of the way. They would bring me drinks or anything I needed, helped carried my bouquet when I was walking with my dress, and even brought the golf cart around from the train since we were running late for our first dance. We rented out the slide and train and both were a HUGE hit. Everyone the next day raved about how much fun they had and it was one of the best weddings they have ever been too. The staff even let the slide go for another half hour since the kids (and adults) were having so much fun. Definitely recommend this venue if you want a rustic vibe.

Communication was quick and reliable, and they were always friendly and attentive to our needs. The venue itself is big, beautiful, and spacious - perfect for hosting our guest list. Karen and Bruce were there on the big day handling all the logistics and helping everything run smoothly. They were extremely helpful making sure my husband and I could just focus on enjoying ourselves.

John Kapusciarz, the owner, and the WHOLE staff were marvelous. To my knowledge, nothing went wrong! We had some delays in the ceremony at our other venue that set us back a little bit, but the whole staff rallied and were flexible and helped adjust the flow of the evening. Food was fantastic (especially the tomato basil soup!)

Our wedding reception at the Morris County Golf Club was absolutely magical! From the very beginning, Emma and her team were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly easy, flexible, and truly dedicated to making our day perfect. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they anticipated every need. The venue itself is gorgeous, providing just the right amount of sparkle and elegance. But the real star of the show was the food! Our guests are still raving about the incredible buffet. Everything was hot, fresh, and constantly replenished. It was absolutely delicious and a highlight of the entire celebration. We can't recommend the Morris County Golf Club enough!

Do you want to have a completely stress-free wedding day and planning experience? Then book your wedding here. Throughout the year I had to plan my wedding at BWH, I had countless people ask me if I was stressed, or comment that I seemed pretty relaxed for planning a wedding. That’s because Sharon S. and BWH’s recommended vendors make having a wedding here the most seamless and worry free experience. Everyone is so easy and fun to work with and made everything a breeze. Our family and wedding party noted how professional and coordinated everybody was- they run a tight ship! I can’t recommend this venue enough, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Everything went perfectly- thank you so much Sharon!

The upstairs bridal suite was perfect for us to relax before the ceremony and have a moment to regroup afterward before joining our guests, and also to change into a party dress after dinner! Our guests loved the gorgeous lounge furniture and bathrooms. We’re so happy we chose Wildman for our wedding venue! Thank you so much for everything, Michelle and Valentina!
