Seminars and company events
The Mansion at Mountain Lakes hosts holiday parties, team-building retreats, board meetings and company milestones, with spaces for 50 to 400 guests, at an owner-operated event venue on Route 46 in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. The venue holds one event at a time, so a company dinner or party has the building to itself.
For business events, the venue offers its ballroom, dining rooms for corporate meals and landscaped outdoor seating areas for breaks. High-speed internet and in-house audiovisual technology are available. Arrival works well for large groups: there is parking for more than 300 cars, valet service, a porte cochère for drop-off and a complimentary shuttle from local hotels.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings make up most of the calendar. Ceremonies take place in the garden, near a waterfall, or indoors, and receptions move to the Grand Ballroom, with its chandeliers, large dance floor and wood staircase. A private bridal suite is set aside for the couple. The venue has dedicated offers for kosher weddings, with an outdoor or indoor chuppah, rooms for the Tisch and Badeken, and links with Glatt Kosher caterers, and for South Asian weddings.
Smaller weddings from 50 guests use three more intimate rooms. These are offered on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons, and on weekend evenings in January and February.
Rooms and capacities
The venue gives a range of 50 to 400 guests; another page states that its spaces are designed for up to 350. The Grand Ballroom is the main reception room. Private cocktail rooms serve the hour before dinner, three smaller rooms host intimate events, and the gardens and landscaped grounds are used for ceremonies and outdoor drinks. Capacities for each room are not published, so layouts are set with the team for each booking.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. The venue runs a complimentary shuttle between local hotels and the Mansion for guests.
Catering
An in-house culinary team designs menus around each client's tastes, from the cocktail hour to the dinner, and the cuisine has been recognized with industry awards. For kosher weddings, the venue works with selected Glatt Kosher caterers, and couples may also bring their own caterer, with the Mansion's staff working alongside.
History and setting
The venue has hosted events since 2016 and is run by its owners, with a team that follows each client from the first visit to the event. The renovated building has a rustic style that draws on the history of Mountain Lakes, with landscaped gardens and a waterfall on the grounds.
