North Shore House

promptly answered our questions (even as the date drew closer and we started having a million questions every day). The venue itself is beautiful. The lake, the building, the rooms - all stunning. The space is good inside so we would have been happy even if it rained, but we were thrilled that we were able to have our wedding outdoors because it was truly idyllic. Plus my now-wife and I were able to go kayaking on the lake the morning of the wedding! North Shore offers more than pretty much anywhere else we looked and and does it all exceedingly well. Staying in the rooms at the venue made it so much more relaxing. The food (and cake!) included in our package were all delicious. The furniture was exactly what we wanted. Open bar was great of course lol. There were a lot of package options available so we were able to find something that fit our budget while still providing everything we wanted. We were able to have a wedding that didn't break the bank but was still absolutely lovely thanks to North Shore. If you're planning to get married in the area (or even if you're not in the area - we came from Brooklyn!) it's totally worth it.

stion was answered promptly, every detail was handled smoothly, and the entire planning process felt stress-free because of their organization and care. The venue itself is stunning—beautiful scenery, elegant spaces, and the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous everything looked. The food was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with great attention paid to dietary restrictions, which we truly appreciated. Everyone felt accommodated and taken care of. Thanks to the amazing staff, breathtaking setting, and overall seamless experience, our wedding night was truly unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would recommend The North Shore House without hesitation to any couple looking for a perfect wedding experience. 💍✨ A special thank you to Emma, Erica and All the amazing help!

was perfect for our June wedding. It is family owned and run and our experience with the staff was amazing. They were warm and friendly and made us feel like family all weekend. All of our family and friends said the food was exceptional and the atmosphere was so unique. Samantha, our coordinator, helped us with every step of the planning process from start to finish. She made herself available for us as much as we needed. We highly recommend the NHS. Eric and his family are very passionate about their work and made sure every detail was perfect. Overall, we can't say enough good things about this venue and will be back to visit soon!

ul wedding anywhere else. The food, service, and attention to detail were impeccable and left us, and all our loved ones, feeling special. The grounds are perfectly manicured, our bridal attendant, Diana, was kind and helpful, our event coordinators, Samantha and Kyla, were organized and gave great recommendations when planning and the wait staff truly went above and beyond.

edding day, the owners and staff were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, detail-oriented, and consistently communicative throughout the whole planning process. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy a stress-free experience. Our coordinator, Samantha, was exceptional from start to finish, and a special thank-you goes to our bridal attendant, Diane, who anticipated every need and ensured everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food—both the cocktail hour and dinner were outstanding—and our cake, created by Stefanie, was as beautiful as it was delicious. If you’re looking for a venue with stunning lake views, an all-inclusive experience, and a warm, professional team, we wholeheartedly recommend North Shore House. It’s also an excellent, budget-friendly choice for micro weddings, as it can beautifully accommodate smaller guest counts of 40 or fewer—something surprisingly hard to find. We are beyond grateful to the North Shore team for helping us create a wedding day that was truly unforgettable and perfect!

we toured — and it ended up being the last! They offered everything we could have hoped for and more. Everyone we worked with was responsive, professional, and kind, making the entire planning process easy and stress-free. We chose the all-inclusive package, which allowed us to use the property the day before, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Everything about our weekend was amazing — from the hospitality to the food, the views, and beyond. We can’t recommend the North Shore House enough!

and helped with quite literally everything we needed. Our entire bridal party is still raving about how helpful she was and how she made getting ready such a breeze. The wait staff and bartenders were so attentive and gracious to us and our guests. They helped us with anything we needed all night long. It's clear that Louise is truly an amazing maître d'. Everything was coordinated perfectly. We are so appreciative of her helping our friends get a ride home and getting the bus company to pick up guests from our smores afterparty early when the rain picked up. We can't not talk about the food. THE FOOD! Everything we ate was so delicious! Hats off to the chef! Our guests have been raving about the food, and not just about one thing, but everything! The lamb lollipops were a hit, and people also loved the pumpkin ravioli and the dumplings. The steak and chicken duet was superb. We've never had steak at a wedding that was so juicy and flavorful. People even shared how much they loved the salad. My husband and I are eager to dine at the restaurant to re-create our incredible evening. Stefanie is a great pastry chef. That cake was incredible. From the decoration to the texture and flavor, everybody told us it was amazing. All the kids kept asking when the cake would come and we're sure they weren't disappointed! We are so glad we decided to do an after-party. The staff made sure it was a fun and chill way to end our night. The inn was so luxurious. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were clean. We had such fun hanging out in the library late into the night. And what a wonderful spread of pastries, yogurt, and coffee to wake up to. We have to thank Louise again for coming over early in the morning to help us get the last of our things together. Tim was also very helpful during the months leading up to the wedding working with our guests. That was seriously a masterclass in hospitality. Thank you! Samantha is an excellent event coordinator. We can't thank her enough for working with us, answering all our questions, and accommodating our requests. All the details like handling the kegs, vegan/kosher marshmallows, working around the kosher catering, and the endless intricacies of a Jewish wedding. Thank you for accommodating the kosher catering for our guests. I know they truly appreciated it. Everything was just as it should have been and executed with grace and expertise. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We heard from many of our guests that everything from A-Z about this wedding was exquisite and we couldn't agree more. Thank you, North Shore House, for making this day one that we will cherish the memories of forever.

, and solutions-oriented in all of our communications, making the planning process seamless. Their warm, personal approach made us feel like family throughout the entire weekend. The venue itself is truly stunning - a charming lakefront property with beautiful views for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The indoor spaces perfectly captured the cozy, character-filled vibe we were going for. When they're not hosting weddings, the venue is a farm-to-table restaurant, so the quality of the food was exceptional. Our guests raved about how delicious everything was. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every request. We never felt like just another number - the personal touches and attention to detail made the entire weekend feel like a relaxing stay at a family lake house. We loved that our whole bridal party could stay on-site in the 13 rooms they have available at the inn - we could just show up and never have to leave the property. Overall, North Shore House exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of their stunning property, excellent service, and incredible food made it the perfect choice for our wedding. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping to make our special day truly unforgettable.

d to get married. Everything about this venue exudes warmth, charm, and an unparalleled sense of hospitality. It’s family-run, and you can feel that care and love in every detail. Throughout the entire process, they made us feel so special, like we were part of their family. Our wedding coordinator, Emma, was phenomenal—organized, responsive, always a step ahead, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but with Emma’s guidance and the support of the team, it was a joy every step of the way. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. A lovingly restored 1930s inn and restaurant situated on a pristine lake, it’s a haven for anyone who loves history and natural beauty. They’ve preserved almost all of the original materials, giving the space a rich sense of history, while beautifully updating it to feel timeless and inviting. The inn above the restaurant has 13 charming rooms for your closest friends and family, so they can stay right on the property. Having everyone together made the entire weekend feel so intimate and special. On the day of our wedding, the level of care and attentiveness was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Diana was a lifesaver—she was the bridal assistant who helped with everything I needed, from grabbing forgotten items to driving me around in the golf cart and ensuring I stayed calm and stress-free. Every single person we worked with genuinely cared about making our day perfect, and it showed. Louise, one of the owners, was there as our maître d’, bringing a warm and reassuring presence to the day. She’s present for every single wedding they host, which speaks volumes about the love and dedication she and her team pour into every celebration. And let’s talk about the food—it’s out of this world. Every dish was crafted to perfection, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. And there was SO MUCH FOOD. Your guests will not leave hungry! Even after the wedding, their care didn’t stop. The next day, they had all of our decorations and reception items carefully packed up and ready for us, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Our wedding at North Shore House was everything we could have dreamed of and more. From the breathtaking venue to the warm and thoughtful team, they really made it the best day ever. If you’re searching for a wedding venue that’s stunning, filled with incredible food, spectacular views, and genuine heart, North Shore House is the perfect choice. We can’t recommend it highly enough! Our vendors were THE BEST!!!! IG handles below!

your day special. From day one, communication was top notch. Every single question I asked was answered quickly and most of the time followed by very helpful feedback and suggestions. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and I am so so grateful I discovered NSH on the Nj brides Facebook page. Diana is your bridal attendant and she goes above and beyond to make sure you are fed, relaxed, and have everything you need. The bridal suite is this cute gated area attached to the home where the owners live. It is absolutely adorable and reminded me of a little cottage. I also really loved riding around on that golf cart with Diana :). It’s also great to take a ride if you need to decompress away from the craziness. My coordinator was Emma, who is a literal ANGEL. Emma was so great with communication ( I ask a million questions) and is so organized. She is also the absolute sweetest and I was so happy to have her with me during my special day. I trust her completely and was really stress free because I knew she had everything under control. Besides the amazing staff, the view is gorgeous. The hotel rooms are also so peaceful and VERY clean. The food is absolutely amazing, I received so many compliments and many stated it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had . I typically don’t even eat the plated food at weddings because it’s made in large quantities and isn’t always consistent. However, I ate my filet mignon on my wedding day and it was cooked perfectly. I also received positive feedback on the cocktail hour and dessert. The next morning, we had a simple but very cute send off brunch with the firepits going, boat rides, and some apple cider donuts! It was very fall themed and a perfect ending to a wonderful weekend. All of my vendors also commented on how great NSH is to work with. I recommend this for any bride looking for an amazing celebration with a team who is extremely personable, caring, and down to earth.

the rest of the staff were timely with communication, SUPER organized, helpful with details, and so attentive. Emma was truly a rockstar point person- we can't rave about her enough! The space speaks for itself: the outdoor space perfectly amplifies the natural beauty of the lake, and the indoor space is cozy, warm, and inviting- a perfect place to dance the night away! The food was amazing (must get the pistachio crusted lamb chops), and the wait staff was the most helpful. We have been to the restaurant several times before, so knew the food was delicious, but our guests couldn't stop mentioning how tasty everything was! Some bullet points of things we LOVED: -the hotel rooms are cozy, individual, and inviting, with space for all the hotel guests to chill and hang out -North Shore picked us up from my parent's lake house on the other side of the lake in their 2 pontoon boats, and we had a blast riding to the ceremony -everything was meticulously set up, from the beautiful white chairs to the signs we had made -Can't stress how beautiful the outdoor ceremony was -My husband and I scheduled 5 minutes alone together in the bocce ball quart after the ceremony during cocktail hour, and the staff had pre set a plate of hors d'ouvres and 2 cocktails there for us so we didn't miss any of the food -One of the waitresses told my husband and I at the start of the night that she was going to make sure we ate enough and drank enough water throughout the night- she was so sweet, and several times made sure we had cocktails and champagne. -The dance floor was big enough for all of our friends and family to dance- we were on the floor the entire night! - We used all of the North Shore House's preferred vendors (Platinum Band, Karen's Kreations, Orchard Street photography, Stocker Bus) and couldn't have been happier with their suggestions -We did an after party in the back bar- super fun! If you want a beautiful venue with picture perfect outdoor space, cozy indoor space, delicious food, super helpful personnel, and overall GREAT vibes, book North Shore House!

nd beautifully maintained grounds are spectacular. The time, effort and attention to detail from everyone at North Shore House does not go unnoticed. Everyone was kind and welcoming and brought our vision to life, our wedding day exceeded everything we could have imagined thanks to everyone at North Shore House. This is a special place and we're grateful we found it.

icious, and preparations a breeze thanks to Samantha's easy communication, but they even helped find a videographer for us last minute when ours was a no-show, making everything so seamless and stress-free. It was the most beautiful day, made perfect by the gorgeous weather & grounds and the incredibly helpful staff. I can't say enough about how wonderful working with the venue was, everyone on staff from the waitresses and waiters to the owner really put in the extra effort to make the day absolutely perfect for every guest. The hotel the night of was stunning and so comfortable, and breakfast the next morning was fabulous- all around, the best experience any bride could ever hope for. We'll definitely be coming back for dinner and a stay next year for our anniversary- already looking forward to it! :) Photos by Carina Danielle Photography.

a family who takes pride in their work. We got married in August and have only heard glowing reviews from our family and friends. Do yourself a favor and take a tour so you can feel how special this place is. I wish we could have a redo so we could relive the most perfect day!!

, Emma, and the entire staff truly care about every single detail during every event. We got the "all inclusive" package, which meant we were able to stay at the NSH inn (13 rooms!) for two nights. We had our rehearsal dinner and a welcome party on Saturday, then our wedding on Sunday, and we had a brunch on Monday morning. Beyond it just being the most beautiful venue ever, the people are really what make it so special. They thought of EVERYTHING, and they were always two steps ahead of us. We never, ever felt like they were trying to upsell us, and they never said no to any request we had! They even made challah for all the guests! Guests and vendors came up to me during & after the event to rave about the food and the staff. As a wedding guest, I usually don't even notice the staff, but even my friends and family recognized how attentive and friendly they all were at NSH! If I could give 100 stars to North Shore House, I would.

e treated with amazing professionalism and care. The staff, the venue, the amazing food, and views all made our day one to remember. Guests are still talking to us about this hidden gem months after our big day. If you're looking for a rustic setting with outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour options feet away from a beautiful lake, at a friendlier price, then do yourself a favor and book a tour.

and helpful through the entire process. Every question was answered quickly and thoroughly. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, the food was amazing, and the staff was polite and courteous. We had our guests stay at the Inn itself and the rooms were beautiful and the beds very comfortable. Our guests enjoyed using the grounds on the day of the wedding (kayaking, paddle boarding etc). If you’re considering the north shore house- do it!

with communication. Our guests and ourselves stayed at the inn Saturday through Monday and it made the whole wedding so much more relaxing. The food, service, coordinators, EVERYTHING, was amazing. What a beautiful hidden gem of a venue - don't sleep on booking them for your wedding!
