Wedding perfection is the title here. Katherine and her staff provided a night to remember for my son's wedding. The cocktail hour was amazing with terrific stations and plentiful passed hor d'ouerves. Dinner was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was very accommodating and professional. Thank you for making this event one to remember.

I recently attended my brother's wedding at Crossed Keys Estate. He and his wife had such an amazing ceremony and reception at the property. The owner (who was there before, during and after the event) was beyond hands on and supportive. She ensured every little detail was considered. As was her point person, a young woman who seemed to be in every place at every moment.
Overall, what a beautiful venue. The staff was very impressive, particularly the bartenders (a key for any venue). They were efficient in getting drinks out and keeping the faces smiling, even for the non-drinkers like myself

Truly the best wedding I've visited in a long time. Beautiful wweddijf and great reception and after party !
Great service - fun, interactive and lively. Loraine was the best and I suggest you ask her for your wedding or event. She made it personal- made it a point to meet me as a guest and make sure I was fully catered to. If your in the area come here and enjoy a drink and her company.

Katherine made me feel uncomfortable on my tour from the start.
At the start she stated, "I'm vaccinated, we're outside" as an excuse to wear a mask on her chin while talking to us. Never asking if we were ok with it or comfortable
More assumptions and uncomfortable questions about our engagement ring and it's cost immediately turned us off.
Felt rushed and like a wedding factory

My fiancé and I were super excited to meet with Kathrine and get a tour of Crossed Keys Estate. Unfortunately our experience with Kathrine was really disappointing. Her unprofessionalism was insulting. She made obvious judgements about us and treated us accordingly. She went as far as to ask what we did for a living, then said we would need to work extra hours to be able to afford to get married there. Then she asked if some one was helping us pay for the wedding. Unfortunately our experience isn't unusual. I am a bridal hair stylist so I have had the opportunity to work with many brides

Where do I begin? From the initial appointment to see the venue, till the last dance at my daughters wedding, everything was elegant and perfect. This family owned estate treats everyone like family. The venue is meticulously cared for, the flowers were absolutely fresh and gorgeous , and don't even get me started on the quality and taste of the food!! The owners were in constant touch with my daughter and her then fiance to make sure every detail was discussed and came to fruition. We could not have asked for a more beautiful, perfect wedding, Crossed Keys Estate is definitely the venue

We celebrated our daughter's wedding last weekend at Crossed Keys Estate. It was absolutely magical. Katherine and Jessica guided us every step of the way and for that we are truly appreciative. They made us feel so at home the moment we walked onto the property, letting us know that they were taking it from here and that we need not worry. We were able to relax and join our family and friends in celebrating our daughter and her husband. The property was absolutely magnificent, so many beautiful places to wander. We loved the cocktail patio and the atmosphere around the fire pit was so

My cousin married his high school sweetheart this past Saturday at Crossed Keys Estate and it was absolutely beautiful. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have anything and everything to make the day go as smoothly and carefree as possible and the venue is perfect.

Granted it was a very hot day but the staff did nothing to help. There were no bottled waters. They did not serve ice water and they did a terrible job accommodating older people (paths difficult to walk on and bathrooms up very steep steps) and children (no place to change babies, yelled at for using playhouse). There was essentially no wait service. The wedding cake was not served.
Some of the food was spoiled and there was no choice given for entree. Food was mostly inedible. The ceremony and the reception were beautiful because of the officiant, the lovely family, the guests who were happy

A little late on my review- me and my husband had our wedding reception here on a beautiful day in june 2017. Katherine and Jessica were both so amazing. We visted the venue on a cold winter day 1.5 years prior to 2017, and we could still imagine how lush and beautiful the place could be in june.
They were extremely accomodating and flexible for us, and made sure everything was as planned.
It's a family owned business so the communication from planning, arranging, and catering- everything in one stop! Super convinient and I highly recommend this venue. It is truly worth every penny.

Where do I begin?! Long story short, Jessica, Katherine, and the entire Crossed Keys team are true wedding experts!
We waited two years to have our dream fall wedding, and every moment of our wedding day was worth the wait. From the moment we first stepped foot on The Estate's grounds, we knew this was where we would be married...we didn't even look at other venues! The grounds are absolutely breathtaking. From the towering oak trees, to the meticulously manicured lawns, every corner of Crossed Keys is beautiful. The tent is an absolute stunner (and won the approval of my very critical

Our wedding took place on October 14, 2017 - it was truly the best day of our lives. The team at Crossed Keys brought our vision to life, working with us for a year to execute a huge wedding, with many, many unique touches! They were also by our sides throughout the entire wedding day - with champagne, food, well wishes, and support. We are so grateful that we found this incredible venue that is very near and dear to our hearts. The property is absolutely gorgeous, no matter what month you get married in you have the perfect backdrop for photos.. the photo opps are endless! The food was incredible

The team at Crossed Keys Estate made my dreams come true. I honestly could not have imagined my wedding at any other venue- they were the first and only venue we visited, we knew right away that we would not find anything comparable. I have had guest after guest tell my family and I that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to, that the food was amazing, the location was spectacular, that the service was impeccable. People have said that it felt like a destination wedding in the middle of New Jersey! Katherine and Jessica were amazing from day one- always answering my emails quickly

Ladies and gentlemen, this place has it all. From the gorgeous manicured grounds, to the surreal cuisine. The service was perfect. My wife and I attended our friend's wedding last night and wish this place existed when we were looking at venues for our wedding. If I was allowed to give 6 stars, I would. I have to say that the food was not good or great, but OUTSTANDING! Perfection from start to finish. Now let's get to the band, Absolutely Amazing! They had to be the best there is. Hands down. Every song that they performed was truly spectacular, like being at a concert with

I came here for a wedding last week. WOW!! This place is absolutely beautiful! What an incredible place to get married and celebrate w friends and family.
The staff was extremely friendly, accommodating and professional. Everything seemed to get done 5 steps ahead of even thinking about it.
The food... OMG!!! Incredible! I heard the chef studied at the culinary institute in Manhattan.. And it definitely showed! The presentation to flavor was on point... Yummmmmmm
I'm hoping to attend another wedding here.. Loved everything!

I attended a friend's wedding at this venue over the summer and had an absolutely fantastic time. While many weddings I've been to in New Jersey take place either down the shore or at a banquet hall, Crossed Keys is a refreshing country alternative. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and made for stunning photos, and the backdrop for the ceremony looked like something out of a painting. Plus, it was great that the commute between the ceremony site and the reception tent consisted of a one minute walk.

Had a great time a few months ago at a beautiful wedding at Crossed Keys. This is a hidden gem in a quaint area of New Jersey, and was one of the most unique wedding venues I have ever seen! The grounds were immaculate, and the landscape surrounding the ceremony and reception spectacular. The night only got better from there with great homemade food, dancing, and lots of laughs near their firepit during the reception. The food was delicious! Crossed Keys knows what they're doing when it comes to weddings!

I want to state initially that my review has nothing to do with the bed and breakfast, it is only for the catering service this hotel forces on you if you have a wedding there, and whatever role the hotel plays in the tent setup.
I came here for a wedding this past summer. A few days in advance I called ahead, and requested a vegan meal from the caterer. When I got to the wedding, when I tried asking servers during cocktail hour if certain items contained eggs or dairy, they said they'd get back to me but never did, they still weren't able to answer me when I asked second and third
