Waterloo Village — Sussex County Wedding Venue in Stanhope

Waterloo Village is a Sussex County wedding venue unlike anything else in New Jersey. It’s a beautifully restored historic canal town set within Allamuchy Mountain State Park in Stanhope, where stone buildings, a working grist mill, a millpond bridge, and a wood-fired brick pizza oven create a setting that photographers and guests consistently describe as unlike any wedding they've attended. The property operates a working organic farm raising fresh vegetables, orchard fruit, chickens, and pigs and the harvest feeds directly into the wedding menus. Seven outdoor ceremony locations, a living history backdrop, and alpaca visits from April through November make Waterloo Village the kind of venue couples find once and stop looking.

  • Up to 190 guests with dancing; up to 230 with tented dance floor on the patio

  • Seven outdoor and three indoor ceremony locations
