The Estate at Eagle Lake is a gorgeous wedding venue nestled in the heart of Central Jersey’s farmland. Lovingly renovated by its current ownership, this venue has great locations, each with a stunning background and built-in sound system. We fell in love with this venue the moment we set eyes on it. So will you!
The ceremony
The ceremony location is right up on the lake with guest seating in a stepped amphitheater. Speakers are hidden in the trees so they don’t mess up the view. We were able to plug in and provide music for the prelude, procession, and recession.
Is that Adam Oded officiating the wedding?
Indeed it is! The ceremony script was based on some of the best wedding scripts we’ve heard over the past few years and was developed together with the bride and groom. Check it out here. Let us know if you need basic officiating services for your wedding. Adam has an online ordination, a pleasant FM Radio voice, and can help you craft the perfect wedding ceremony.
Cocktail Hour
For the cocktail hour, guests were invited to an area that overlooks the whole property. There is a small path that leads up to an area with lawn games, cocktails, a pond filled with enormous koi fish (that you can feed!), and a scenic overlook.
Cocktail Hour Playlist
We prepared the perfect soundtrack for this wedding, at this location with this group of people. Check it out:
Meanwhile…
While the cocktail hour was going on, the bride and groom took pictures including this one, on the small dock to the right of the ceremony location.
Toasts
Toasts were offered right near the sweetheart table which was located near the part of the tent that overlooks the lake.
Dancing
The formal dances, like the first dance, and parent dances were all done in the main tent.
The rest of the dancing was done in The Bunker
The Estate at Eagle Lake has great spaces and views, but what brings it all together is love, experience and expertise provided by Scott, the visionary behind the venue. He’s a man who knows how to throw a party and can provide the setting for the wedding of your dreams! He’s the handsome gentleman on the right with a happy bride and wedding DJ.

Here’s what the bride had to say:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Adam was the best DJ ever. He made sure we were on the same page every step of the way. He was our DJ AND officiant. At first, we asked him because we aren’t religious and didn’t really have any person who was ordained who could marry us. We’re so glad we asked, he created a wonderful ceremony. Also whenever we had any question Adam always replied the same day, the most responsive of all of the vendors we worked with! We are so happy we found him on yelp and the knot. Everyone at our wedding was happy, both young and old. I have a friend who is getting married soon who will be contacting him soon! I recommend him to anyone who asks.
Let us set the soundtrack for your special day.
We also have a photobooth!
