Crossed Keys Estate - Andover, New Jersey

We had our wedding here in December, the last wedding of the season, and we could not be more in love with this venue and the staff.
From the start the team was so accommodating and friendly. Jessica, Kyle, Danielle, you all blew us away from the start! We felt so at home from the moment we stepped foot on the gorgeous property for the first time.
Once we decided on a winter wedding we were admittedly a little sad to not be able to use the full grounds during our wedding celebration but that regret was immediately put to rest once we walked through what the day would look like and how the gorgeous interior would be leveraged. When I tell you we are STILL being told how absolutely stunning our venue was and being asked how in the world we found such a magical place to celebrate, it was one of the main talking points about our special day. On top of the fact that the space itself is a DREAM, Jessica and her design team went above and beyond, working with us closely to match our vision (while being incredibly respectful of our budget) and the final product blew all of our expectations out of the water.
In the days leading up to our wedding, we worked with Katrina to get all the final details in place. THIS WOMAN IS A SAINT! Not only did she meticulously organize and plan for every moment leading up to the wedding but she managed our vendors and guests without a hiccup during the big day. I'm sure there were many things that needed to be managed or adjusted on the day of but I truly couldn't tell you what they were because she managed it all. Thank you so much for making our day feel seamless and allowing us to focus on being present. It made all the difference and allowed us to cherish every moment with each other.
On top of it all, the food and drinks are to DIE for. Cocktail hour blew us and all of our guests away. And the custom signature drinks were the talk of the night (most of our guests swear it's all they drank the entire time).
TL;DR: If you've come across CKE and are considering booking with them let this be your sign to DO IT. They make you feel like family, bring your dreams to life, and do so seamlessly. If I could do it over again I would. Thank you so much for making our classic, winter wonderland wedding a reality!

My dream wedding became a reality on December 1, 2024 because of Crossed Keys Estate and Crossed Keys Design. Their top tier service, commitment, floral and decor team, coordinators, food service team, and staff made our wedding day absolutely perfect. They were a venue that had floral and decor, food, bar, coordinator, maitre’d, and the best service included in one. I still get emotional thinking about the perfect wedding we had. The whole team was the dream team and it made our wedding process stress-free! Isn’t that what we look for? Look no further and please visit this venue. It was a venue unlike any other. When I first walked into this venue, I knew in my gut that it was the venue that I would tie the knot in. Danielle helped us seal the deal (she was the best to work with) and our coordinator, Traci, made sure the day was everything and more. She made sure she took on all the stress so we didn’t have to. Jess (our head floral and decor go-to) assured that every detail tied everything together. This venue is more than 5/5 stars. They’re family. And we hope the pictures back up our words. Don’t hesitate to make this venue the place that makes your wedding the best day of your life. Thank you Crossed Keys Estate team. We couldn’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. You will forever be a part of our story. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

My husband and I got married at the CKE this October 2024. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to their entire team for all of their hard work to make our visions and dreams come to life. Each and every staff member was kind, and helpful. If you had a question you’d get a response promptly and always with a “let’s see what we can do attitude”. Katherine (the owner) made you feel a part of the CKE family and always was looking to make the planning process seamless and easy for us and our family. The CKE floral and design team made our big ideas all come to life- we had a visions of big branching centerpieces with florals tucked in, that Jess and her team absolutely delivered on. On top of that, we asked for an installation over our sweetheart table. Jess and her team have many suggestions and shared they visited Home Depot at least 3 times to see how it would hang, and the final installation beyond exceeded our expectations. The talent and grace their team exudes is what ever bride and groom look for in a team. The planning process was also so seamless due to their amazing coordinator team. We worked with Katrina, the kindest, most professional coordinator we have ever met. Katrina was available at every step of the planning process, providing thoughtful recommendations due to her very obvious experience. Katrina also was there for our wedding day of helping to manage the schedule, set up, constantly checking in, and making sure it all went according to plan (which it did). In addition during the reception Katrina was checking with us throughout the night to see if we wanted to pivot anything or if we needed anything. We are extremely grateful for her support! In addition, Kyle was our maitre d’ for the evening and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He made sure to check in with my husband and I as well as our immediate family members. He was so kind and professional!

Lastly but very importantly- the food and drinks! Most of all of our guests shared that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. It is no small feat cooking for large groups and every aspect of the food from the cocktail hour to the dinner course was absolutely fantastic. These are a few quotes from guests:
- “The food was gourmet.”
- “This is the real deal.”
- “The sushi… Oh, the sushi! So fresh!”
In addition, the bartenders crushed it! Everyone was impressed by the quality of the drinks and we never had a line at the bar- they were fast and catered to our guests.

I would highly recommend the CKE to future couples getting married. The aspect of the family business really shows and ensures you have a tailored experience for your wedding. The entire staff is kind and down to earth- always willing to help. We wish them nothing but the best for their future wedding seasons!

All I can say is WOW. But wow doesn’t even really seem to even cover it… from the moment we drove onto CKE property, we knew this was where we needed (not wanted) … NEEDED to get married. And that was before we met the incredible team. From the moment we picked our date we were taken care of in the best ways. We felt so comfortable & so secure that our day would be nothing less than amazing. From the florals, to the food, to the staff, to the venue… everything was just straight out of a fairytale & felt like a movie. We have been married for about 2 months now & our guests will not stop talking about our day. Everyone says the service was unreal, the venue was the most stunning they have seen, the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding & the details were so personal & perfect. When guests walked from ceremony to cocktail hour, the staff was standing with cocktails in hand. When dinner was served the food was hot. When our guests were standing at the fire smoking cigars outside, the staff brought over s’mores for them. Just truly an amazing experience that I would do 100 more times. If you are worried about price, it’s worth every single penny because of how much they truly care about each client. We love CKE & their team. You will not regret this!

My Fiancé & I had the opportunity to have a tour at Crossed Keys Estate to potentially host our wedding there. We were delighted by the beauty of this venue, & were pleased with Danielle’s level of professionalism. She answered the million questions I had & was very kind, however at some point during our tour Katherine, the owner if im not mistaken, approached us to look at my kids (my baby & my toddler) with no intentions of introducing herself, I ask for her name which she told me and she made some comments insinuating we couldn’t afford our wedding there. She asked Danielle if we knew how much it would cost & if we were interested in hosting during off peak season or during a Thursday (obviously to save some money) during our conversation a explained I was interested on a Saturday & yes I was aware of the cost. She started to talk in a broken Spanish trying to be funny but that left a bad taste in us, & we just felt discriminated.
I do think this place is gorgeous but it is overpriced for their level of professionalism.
May God bless your business & your heart so you don’t make anyone else feel as little as you did with me and my family.

Absolutely the best day ever!! We had our wedding at CKE a couple of months ago in July and it was everything we dreamed it would be. Our guests continue to rave about how unique and beautiful our venue was and how amazing the food was! We still talk about how perfect our wedding day was and so much of that we owe to the CKE team. Each member went above and beyond for us from the first tour, to booking our date and all throughout our wedding day. We worked a lot with Jessica and the CKD team and had Katrina as our day of planner. Both women were extremely responsive, helpful, knowledgable and caring. They were available to us for frequent phone calls and emails as if we were the only couple planning our wedding there. We owe how smoothly our day went to the whole CKE team. They are very well run, organized, efficient and most importantly helpful team in making your day everything you want it to be. We cannot recommend CKE as a wedding venue highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create and host the wedding of our dreams!!!

When my fiance and I saw this venue and specifically the farmhouse windows we knew it was the perfect setting for our wedding. The entire Crossed Keys team was friendly and not pushy which we appreciated. This venue includes a lot so it works well for those who want streamlined, do it all, venue limiting the outside work needed for other vendors. Our guests raved about the food and while we don't yet have our pictures, I'm sure they will turn out amazing. Shout out to Traci who helped plan and execute on the day of, leading to a stress free, enjoyable wedding day!

Where do we even begin! We had our wedding November 30th, 2024 and had the absolute most perfect special day. We originally toured with Kyle and knew from then this would be our venue. Out of all the venues we toured, he was the most descriptive and passionate, answering any and all questions. From then on, everything was absolutely seamless and easy in every way.

Jessica, who does floral and design…NO WORDS. She is an absolute gem to work with and master of florals. I had a very specific vision with colors and she made our wildest dreams come true. She met with me multiple times to ensure what I envisioned was what I wanted, and answered every single email so fast with my questions/changes/comments.

Katrina was our coordinator through CKE, and was lovely to work with. She was there to answer any and all questions and extremely communicative leading up to wedding day when things can become stressful 🙂 Day of she was also somehow always by our side the second we needed something.

Lastly, the food…guests are still raving about it. It is beyond delicious and there are tons and tons of options to choose from. I have to give a special shoutout to the Lechon station, as people will not stop talking about how unique and amazing it was.

We cannot thank the team at Crossed Keys enough for the dedication and attention to detail they put into making our day perfect. The communication is top notch, the food is beyond amazing, and the florals went beyond our wildest dreams.
