Crossed Keys Estate is a scenic Sussex County wedding venue one hour outside New York City in Andover, NJ.

About

This lush property is on 30+ acres of gardens, meadows, and old structures that pay tribute to its storied past. The estate house and stone cottage were originally built in the 1790s and now serve as retro backdrops for wedding portraits.

Gardens & Event Spaces

Our new, state-of-the-art farmhouse perfectly blends quaint historic chairs with modern elegance. In addition, June 2023  marked the debut of our Conservatory, a beautiful glass-enclosed building. It is another new addition that hosts cocktail hour! Crossed Keys Estate hosts weddings for 100 guests or more. 

At Crossed Keys Estate you and your partner host your ceremony in a beautiful English garden by stone walls and leafy trees. Over this garden is a Juliet balcony, where you can toss the bouquet or take photographs with loved ones. Other seasonal gardens with hydrangeas and lilacs are also available to say I DO.

After tying the knot, you can wander over the verdant lawns to the white farmhouse for your reception dinner. This breathtaking building features a cavernous interior with vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, exposed beams, and circular chandeliers that glitter from above. In addition, get-ready suites appointed with chic furnishings are provided for wedding party preparations.

History 

Crossed Keys Estate is family-owned and operated by the Rodriguez family. They strive to nurture a relaxed, stress-free environment for all couples. Since they purchased the estate in 1999, they have hosted more than 600 weddings on the property.
