Best Party EVER! Anthony and his entire staff went above and beyond to pull off my 70’s Disco Party! He was so easy to work with and helped pull off my vision. I wanted something fun and different and that’s exactly what I got! My family and friends have been texting me all day. They loved the food, the service and the venue. He had a bridal suite set up for us which was so sweet! Our girl Desi drove us back and forth in a golf cart. They made us feel like celebrities! I was in the wedding business for over 20 years and this exceeded all my expectations. Anthony even went out of his way to pick up a box of White Castle to give to guests as they were leaving! Everyone is asking if I can do this as an annual event. That’s how good it was. Check out my pics below😉

Wow what a weekend, on May 5 I got married at the FOREST LODGE. I had the best time of my life celebrating with my friends and family. All my friends and family loved the venue, it was a perfect setting for the wedding we had pictured in our heads. My wife and I were treated like royalty as soon as we got to the venue, Charlotte who was our bridle attend was amazing she was there every step of the way for what ever we needed. Our family and friends can’t stop talking about it, Anthony, Sean and Joe thank you so much for this amazing experience. This one was definitely a wedding to remember.

We decided to have a large outdoor anniversary party exactly one year after our private, imitate wedding ceremony. Forest Lodge turned our dream into a reality. Anthony Panchery and his team were nothing but accommodating from start to finish, and truly made our day more perfect than we could have ever imagined. From the fabulous food to its beautiful location, Forest Lodge aims to please. The service was beyond exceptional, and everything down to the smallest details were taken care of for us. Special thanks to Anthony, Joe, and Kelly for making our day so special. If you are looking for a wedding/party venue in central Jersey that is easy to work with, has delicious food, and in a beautiful, woodsy setting, look no further. Thank you, Forest Lodge, for helping us create an unforgettable wedding celebration with memories that will last a lifetime!

I got married at The Forest Lodge aka The Sherwood Chalet on Friday 6.11.21. We had an amazing experience. Everything was great from the initial venue tour, the food/cake tasting and rehearsal all the way up to the actual wedding day. The place is naturally beautiful inside and out so you don't need many decorations. The staff was very accommodating to our wants and needs. The bridal suite was also perfect and well stocked. We dealt with a few different people due to some of the staff was changing, but Jimena (my bridal attendant) and Anthony (the coordinator) were amazing and very comforting ! It started to rain last minute and I was running late getting ready, but the staff was very helpful keeping me updated and with moving my cocktail hour and first look indoors. Our guests loved the location , food and service on the day of our wedding. The servers were very attentive. The kids even enjoyed it as there was games outside from cocktail hour so they were distracted the entire night !Thank you so much Forest Lodge for making our day great. -Shannon & Moises

My husband and I saw this incredible venue in December on a drizzling night with some string of lights. We fell in love with Forest Lodge at first sight especially the Maple Grove. It had everything we wanted on our lists. Anthony and Sean helped us envision how our big day would be. They were so patience and accommodating to our request. Their chefs were also able to customize the dishes to our cultures(Haitian and Chinese). Our big big day(May 6) couldn’t have happened without the staffs at Forest Lodge especially Anthony, Sean and Charlotte. They were so attentive to everything throughout the evening. Our guests loved the food, games and the beautiful venue. Thank you so much!!!!!

I cannot give enough compliments to the Forest Lodge team. From start to end every detail was handled with ease. I hosted my 40th birthday party and would highly recommend this venue to anyone in search of a custom event. Anthony did excellent work with booking and following my vision of a “decades party”. Sean and his team made the setup and party complete. He made sure we didn’t have to “think” and just wanted us to have fun. We had such an awesome time! I utilized their suggestions for entertainment and they did not disappoint. The venue is stunning as well. Thank you to Forest Lodge for a perfect night for all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We hosted a Bat Mitzvah for our twins this weekend ant The Forest Lodge and had a wonderful experience! We had over 100 kids and 50 adults. I was very worried but Anthony at the lodge made everything seamless for us. He was very quick to email back and was very accommodating! Everyone had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic and the staff so friendly. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful day! We were so impressed with our experience here. Thank you.

I cannot recommend Forest Lodge enough!! If you are looking for a wedding/party venue, look no further!! Anthony and Charlie are the absolute best!! They are fun, friendly, enthusiastic, accommodating, and love a good themed party! They will work hard to bring your vision to life! I told Anthony I wanted an 80s/90s party with lots of dancing, and he recommended adding disco balls to the dance floor and referred me to Anita at Balloon Palace. He also had excellent ideas for the decor and took the time to show me several pictures of a recent 80s themed party as well as a 70s party he oversaw at Forest Lodge. And special thanks to Sean, the manager who oversaw my event, for making me feel like a rockstar! He loved to talk party details, was super enthusiastic and communicative throughout the planning process, set up the space for me beautifully, anticipated my every need, treated me like a VIP driving me back and forth to the bridal suite to change into my many outfits, and pretty much was the BEST manager I could ever ask for!!! THANK YOU!!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am that I chose to book my wedding at the Forest Lodge. I couldn't imagine my wedding being anywhere else. Anthony and Sean answered all my questions throughout the planning process and made sure that everything was going to be perfect on the day of the wedding, and it truly was perfect. Kelly and Joe made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. They always reassured me of what was going to happen next and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole event. Julia was my bridal attendant and she couldn't have been more amazing. She continuously checked up on me, making sure that I was drinking water and had something to eat. They set up all of my decorations and they made my vision come to life. They took down the decorations as well and packed them up, so all I had to do was pick them up. So easy! On the day of the wedding they were so organized and everything flowed so beautifully. Everyone I talked to raved about how amazing the staff was, how great the food tasted, and how beautiful the venue was. The Forest Lodge and the staff there will always hold a special place in my heart because they made my dreams come true.

Forest Lodge is the most amazing venue! Anthony was great to work with throughout the entire process and was so genuinely happy for us. He is very responsive and provided guidance when needed. Our bridal attendant (Haley) was the absolute best! She was always nearby and made sure we had drinks and food along with driving us around in the golf cart and helping with my dress. The food was delicious and our guests loved it. The chef was very accommodating to me being gluten free. Overall we could not recommend Forest Lodge enough!

I would 110% recommend The Forest Lodge for any event! My wedding was in August of 2023 and it was a day I will always cherish. The venue itself is beautiful, and everyone who works there is so pleasant to work with. I was an out of state bride, and even though I was a few hours away, they made everything so easy. I wanted to wait until I had my photos back before posting a review because words don’t do justice to the wonderfullness that is The Forest Lodge. Anthony and Joe helped the day go without a hitch and the bridal assistant Charlotte was hands down THE BEST! The Forest Lodge will always hold a special place in my heart for being so great on one of the best days 🤍
