Valleybrook Country Club has long been a familiar name in South Jersey weddings, but over the past year, the venue has quietly stepped into an entirely new chapter.
With refreshed interiors and statement chandeliers revealed at a recent wedding open house I had the chance to attend, the space now feels noticeably elevated experience while staying true to what couples have always loved about the space.
If you’re considering getting married at Valleybrook Country Club in Blackwood, NJ, this guide walks you through everything you need to know, from ceremony options to planning support, so you can decide if it’s the right fit for your day.

Located in Blackwood, New Jersey, Valleybrook Country Club is a premier South Jersey wedding venue known for its expansive golf course views, refined event spaces and one-wedding-per-day approach. The setting offers a balance of classic country club charm and modern updates, making it a strong choice for couples who want an elegant celebration that still feels welcoming and relaxed.
Recent updates to the ballroom and common areas have introduced a lighter, trendier look, including new chandeliers that immediately change the feel of the reception space. The result is a venue that feels current, intentional and thoughtfully designed for today’s couples.
Behind it all is a team that truly works in sync! Nicole Smith, Valleybrook’s Director of Weddings, alongside Wedding Coordinator Lena Falzani, brings both organization and care to the planning process! Their collaboration shows on the wedding day itself, creating days that feel calm, well-paced and thoughtfully executed from start to finish.
One of Valleybrook’s strengths is flexibility. Couples can choose from multiple ceremony locations depending on season, guest count, and overall vision.
Magnolia Lane offers an outdoor ceremony setting with a pergola and seasonal blooms that evolve throughout the year. This space works especially well for spring, summer, and early fall weddings.
Vows at the V is a tree-lined outdoor ceremony option centered around a grand focal tree. It feels natural, intimate, and beautifully layered for photography.
For couples planning an indoor ceremony or wanting a seamless weather backup, the Grace Ballroom provides an elegant indoor option that accommodates varying guest counts without feeling oversized.

The Grace Ballroom is where Valleybrook’s recent updates truly shine! The addition of new chandeliers has transformed the space, giving it a softer, more elevated atmosphere while still allowing couples to personalize the room with their own design choices.
Large windows overlook the golf course in the cocktail room, bringing natural light into the space during the day and creating a clean, open feel for evening receptions. The layout allows for a comfortable flow between dining, toasts and dancing without feeling crowded.
Ask them about the chic checkered dance floor add-on.


Valleybrook offers private getting ready spaces designed to feel calm and comfortable before the celebration begins. These spaces are ideal for spending time with your people, getting ready at an easy pace and having a place to step away when needed. They also offer great natural moments for candid photos and thoughtful details.
Both getting ready spaces are currently being renovated, and couples can expect a refreshed look and feel. Below, you’ll find a sneak peek at the mood boards for the updated partner suites, offering an early look at what’s coming next at Valleybrook!


Food is a major focus at Valleybrook Country Club. Their on-site culinary team designs menus around seasonal ingredients and guest experience rather than one-size-fits-all offerings.
Couples can expect a well-paced cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres, thoughtfully prepared entrées, and flexible menu options that can be tailored to different preferences and dietary needs. The goal is a dining experience that feels elevated without being overly formal.

Within the past year, Valleybrook welcomed a new Director of Weddings, bringing fresh leadership and a renewed focus on the planning experience. The event team assists with timelines, layouts, and coordination, helping couples feel supported from booking through the wedding day itself.
This structured yet approachable planning process is especially valuable for couples who want clarity, communication, and confidence that everything will run smoothly.

Valleybrook Country Club is well-suited for a wide range of celebrations, including full-scale weddings and more intimate gatherings. Their micro wedding offerings are designed with the same care as larger events, making them a strong option for couples prioritizing connection and simplicity.
The venue is also proudly inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly, creating a welcoming environment for all couples.
Couples drawn to Valleybrook often value:
A one-wedding-per-day experience
Scenic golf course views and versatile ceremony locations
A newly refreshed, elevated interior design
Strong planning support and coordination
A seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces
If you’re looking for a South Jersey wedding venue that offers classic elegance with a refreshed, modern feel, Valleybrook Country Club is well worth considering.
