My Favorite Outdoor Wedding Venues in NJ
Whether you’re tying the knot amongst the spring blooms, looking to dance the summer night away under the stars, or hope to have sunset colored foliage as the backdrop for your wedding photos, an outdoor wedding can be so beautiful. Given the current Covid-19 wedding restrictions, many of my wonderful couples have brought their celebrations outdoors in order to safely celebrate. I love bringing creative wedding visions to life through calligraphy and decor, especially when your vibe is complimented by the beauty of nature! I’m sharing some of my favorite NJ outdoor wedding venues to inspire your wedding planning dreams!
