Getting married in Essex County
Essex County mixes city and suburb: Newark at one end, and leafy towns such as Livingston and Montclair at the other. It is also home to one of the oldest county park systems in the country, including Branch Brook Park and its famous cherry blossoms, which give some of the county's venues a setting you won't find elsewhere in North Jersey.
Essex County venues tend to be grand and established, with large ballrooms and historic architecture, and most are under 35 minutes from Manhattan. Compare capacity and estimated pricing below, then walk each venue in 360° before you book a visit.
