About Nanina's in the Park
Nanina's in the Park — Parkland Estate
A New Jersey landmark nestled in the famous cherry blossom gardens of Branch Brook Park, Nanina's in the Park has been hosting weddings for over 65 years. Set within a historical 360-acre parkland in Belleville — just 25 minutes from Manhattan — this Tuscan villa-inspired estate offers a setting that simply must be seen to be believed.
The park itself is part of the magic. Branch Brook Park is renowned for its exquisite cherry blossom trees — more trees than even Washington DC's famous Tidal Basin — which flower spectacularly each spring. Nanina's famous cherry gardens, Florentine arbor, garden terrace waterfall, and bubbling fountains create a backdrop no florist in the world could recreate.
“The staff at Nanina's treated us like royalty from the moment we arrived. The Grand Ballroom was breathtaking, the food was outstanding, and the cherry blossom gardens made our photos look like something out of a magazine.”
