Plan a NJ outdoor/indoor wedding ceremony, an alfresco cocktail hour, or a magical evening that includes mingling under the stars.

Brooklake is the most beautiful venue in NJ for an outdoor wedding ceremony. One of the biggest draws of our Brooklake wedding venue is that it offers both indoor and outdoor wedding options. That’s because our beautiful venue pairs with sprawling grounds and gorgeous a westerly view of the lake, perfect for capturing the colors of the sunset. Or enjoy the romantic vista from our contemporary ballroom.

The debate between having an outdoor and indoor wedding is a truly classic one, with each weighing the benefits and negatives of outdoor and indoor weddings. Choosing Brooklake, a venue that also has extravagant indoor facilities make for an ideal wedding location. Walk out to the open veranda, look out upon the lake, rolling fields, and lush gardens. At Brooklake you truly have the best of everything.

Brooklake: New Jersey’s acclaimed wedding venue with indoor and outdoor opportunities.

Brooklake is the perfect indoor / outdoor wedding venue in New Jersey’s Morris County, bordering Essex County. Our couples get all the benefits of hosting an indoor/outdoor wedding while minimizing the inherent concerns of mother nature. You have the opportunity to set up your different areas so as to create a closed circuit for your guests to travel. The outdoors feel like a natural extension of the celebration indoors and the wedding outdoors can easily move into the interior as needed for photos or to cut the cake.

Step out of the ballroom to the beautiful veranda.

Brooklake facilitates the ebb and flow of guests moving from indoors to out and back in again. This way those who just want to sit and take in the natural surrounding can do so while others kick off their shoes on the dance floor. Want a breath of fresh air? Sip a cold drink and bask in the glow of the outdoor fire pit. Then come back inside to the beautifully renovated ballroom.

While indoor/outdoor weddings work great most of the year, the proportion of time spent outside to inside will depend quite a bit on the time of year. After all,  mid-July can get hot, so consider holding pre-wedding cocktails in the patio area followed by a brief garden reception and then move things inside to the ballroom where the AC is always pumping. Of course, the gorgeous backdrop of the lake, trees and gardens makes for a lovely outdoor ceremony.
