01.
Windows on the Water at Frogbridge is a Central NJ Wedding Venue located in Millstone, NJ. It is a private lakeside resort with 86 acres of gorgeous grounds full of well-manicured natural beauty, including the largest collection of Weeping Willow Trees that I’ve ever seen! They are pretty much the most romantic trees ever so believe me when I say that these grounds are a photographer’s dream!
Wedding ceremonies are held outdoors next to a beautiful lake where guests can admire the natural surroundings from every seat. Receptions are held in an elegant tent that can accommodate up to 250 seated guests and allows your guests to enjoy the two-tiered outdoor patio throughout the night.
Our favorite part of this venue is the access to beautiful grounds that couples can enjoy throughout their entire wedding day without the worry of having to compete with another wedding, as the venue only hosts one wedding at a time. But I think the part that couples will love the most is how unique this venue is! The combination of beautiful grounds, a lakeside ceremony, and a gorgeous tent make it a perfect location for a spring, summer, or fall wedding.

OUTDOOR CEREMONY
One of my very favorite aspects of this venue includes the walkway lined with willow trees! It's so pretty, and makes for a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos.

THE WILLOW TREES
The tented reception at WOTW is like no other. It's so elegant, and the chandeliers that hang from the top are simply stunning. Not to mention the outdoorsy feel of a reception there, since you can have the tent open for easy flow to the patio.

the elegant tent
Yes, you can. There is a bridal suite for the ladies to get ready in and a space designated for the groom and groomsmen to get ready in or just hang out before the ceremony.
CAN WE BOTH GET READY ON SITE?
This venue offers beautiful options for an outdoor ceremony. You can get married lakeside, in front of pine trees, or in front of three beautiful willow trees. In my opinion, the best spot is by the willow trees as it gets the best light in the early evening.
DO YOU RECOMMEND GETTING MARRIED ON SITE?
Absolutely. The grounds at WOTW are gorgeous! They are well-maintained and you can't beat the romantic willow trees in addition to other picturesque areas.
ARE THEIR SUFFICIENT GROUNDS FOR PORTRAITS?
If you do a first look, I recommend taking your family formals on the side of the tent so that guests don't see you as they arrive for the ceremony. If you don't do a first look, then I recommend taking your family formals on the patio overlooking the lake.
WHERE CAN WE TAKE FAMILY FORMALS?
The staff! They are amazing and will make sure that you're well taken care of, giving you all the attention to detail you need on your wedding day.
