Oakville Manor: A North Jersey Wedding Venue With a Rooftop Twist

Oakville Manor is a North Jersey wedding venue in Orange, Essex County, with two modern indoor event floors and a rooftop space overlooking the city. Located about 15 miles from New York City and within walking distance of the Orange train station, it gives couples an urban setting without defaulting to Jersey City or Hoboken.

Wedding and Event Spaces

Oakville Manor is designed as a flexible event venue rather than a traditional ballroom, with three distinct levels couples can use depending on the size and flow of the celebration.

Key spaces include:

  • First-floor event space with capacity up to 145

Guest Experience and Amenities

Highlights:

  • Maximum occupancy up to 365 guests using multiple spaces
