    We photographed at David's Country Inn for the first time last year and were blown away. The property is absolutely beautiful and their staff was some of the most helpful we've worked with. We worked with them again this year and once again, had a great experience. On top of how pleasant it is to photograph there, the food was great too! You can't go wrong with planning your wedding here! Jenn & Ro J&R Photography

    I wish I could give David's more than a 5/5 because they absolutely deserve it. From the moment my husband and I walked through the door, we fell in love. Not only is the venue beautiful; the staff, service, food, and drinks, were all incredible and people are still talking about it. Brandon was our Event Manager and he went above and beyond from the jump. He answered all of our questions and when the day of came, I have never seen someone so organized and focused on the couple they were working with. Working in the industry, I had some pretty high standards that were all exceeded. Everyone went above and beyond for us and I will be recommending David's to anyone that asks about a venue in NJ. Thank you to the whole DCI team who made our wedding day the most amazing day of our lives! - Mollie and Taylor Brown 4/13/25

    David's Country Inn was the first venue my now-wife and I toured, and it should have been the only one we toured. We did look at others for the sake of due diligence, but none of them had all of the services we were looking for at the reasonable price point we needed. Forget anything good I have to say about David's Country Inn; my guests and vendors are the ones you should hear from. Even my mother - who can be a bit of a snob at times (sorry, mom) - commented during the wedding, "This venue is GORGEOUS!" A friend of mine who fancies himself a foodie declared, "The food is so. Good." As for our vendors, seriously, every single one of them lit up as soon as we told them that our wedding would be taking place at David's. Our photographer remarked, "I love working at David's. They treat vendors so well and they are so accommodating." That, I can confirm. They make the entire planning process easy to understand and easy to execute. On the day of, you will feel like the guest of honor and not the host, and that's just the way they want it. Here's something one doesn't plan for when putting a wedding together: the groom getting wax all of the back of his pants. Through no fault of the venue and entirely because of my own clumsiness, I backed my butt into a lit candle during the reception and got wax all down the back of my suit. I had no idea this happened until our event coordinator from the venue politely pulled me aside and told me what had happened. I figured he was just giving me a heads up and that my suit would be ruined but the evening would progress. Instead, our coordinator took me up to the private area for the wedding parties and proceeded to expertly clean my suit of all wax and save it from certain destruction. I've read and re-read our contract dozens of times; that was not a clause that was in there, but the entire team at David's is so committed to their clients that they will go above and beyond whenever the moment calls for it. They also pack all of your decor up for you at the end of the night and leave it for you to be picked up the next day, which takes so much pressure off that last hour of the evening and makes getting back to the hotel an absolute breeze. I really cannot recommend DCI more highly.

    David's is absolute incredible. The beauty of the Venue is so stunning and pictures don't even do it justice how beautiful it is. The staff is absolutely incredible and you can tell they are so happy to be doing what they do. There are so many beautiful spots to take photos and for guests to enjoy. We loved that we weren't just limited to photos outside, because the inside was absolutely stunning for photos. We felt so at ease with the help of Brandon and Brenda on our wedding day. They did things for us without us even needing to ask. Brandon even bustled my dress for me! The food and drinks were awesome and our guests were absolutely raving about everything. The bridal suite is also another incredible aspect - such a large space that feels so homey. I wish we could get married at David's over and over again!

    My best friend got married at this venue on 3/26/22 DCI BLEW me away! I had low expectations after hearing about the remodel but it's so beautiful. Truly the most amazing venue. I barely got to eat the dinner but what I did eat was incredible. The pecan crusted chicken was fantastic. The avocado bacon egg rolls during cocktail hour were my saving grace. While getting ready in the Warren suite, we had fresh pastries (amazing. Chocolate croissants are my fave) and yogurt parfaits. The ENTIRE bridal party was raving about these yogurt parfaits. It sounds so trivial but they were just out of this world. One bridesmaid said some expletives about how delicious these parfaits were and about the person that made them that are such high compliments. Seamus was in charge of a lot of things and he handled it all flawlessly. More than one person had a crush on him ;) The bridal attendant, Maggie, is an angel. She was at the venue from 6am helping everything be flawless. She handled crisises with ease and knew not to disturb the bride (I partnered with her and took care of them like champs). She kept checking on us, had everything we could think of and more. During the reception she became a server too. She kept making sure I ate. When my air brush makeup started flaking off in chunks, she found makeup wipes for me. The rest of the staff were all fantastic as well, I just had to shout out the two extraordinary people. The venue is beautiful, wooden with modern touches. The Warren Suite for getting ready is bigger than my house and it's perfect.

    My Dad moved in with my step-mom when I was about 12 years old- not far from Main Street in Hackettstown. Since then, I knew I always wanted my wedding there. So when the day finally came, I knew I had to call immediately. David's Inn is one of the most intimate, beautiful wedding venues I had ever seen (I'm in the wedding industry myself). I didn't want the basic large venue, with white walls that look like every wedding venue. I love the creeky floors, dark wood, and fireplaces- and I specifically wanted Halloween weekend. David's was so accommodating and was able to fit us in within the week for a quick tour (although not needed) and we wrote the check right then and there for our wedding. No other venues were looked at! The pandemic hit immediately after our deposit. We had over a year and a half to plan, but it was nerve-racking. Luckily, Sarah and Hannah were with me every step along the way. Every question, concern was answered within 24 hours or less. Timelines were provided which made the process SO easy as there was no question when or what was due at what time. And when I say they will let you do anything to make sure your day is what you imagined- I mean anything! My day was spent in the amazing Warren Suite (the groom got ready at my Dad's house to give us the entire suite) with all 11 of my bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, 3 additional family members getting ready there, and 3 mom's. We also had 5 hair and makeup people and our photography team. We had so much space, the girls loved being able to relax on the couches, or have a sandwich in the kitchen and that we weren't on top of each other. The food was great! Our get-ready photos are so cute because of the style of the Warren Suite! I also loved that I had my own private bridal room for my dress and photos before my grand entrance to my bridesmaids. Once the groomsmen were ready they were able to come over to the second floor and have a drink while they waited for us. There was no issue with spacing or set up or issues with the timeline thanks to the great layout of David's Inn. Of course, we wanted the GORGEOUS outdoor area, but our wedding day was a monsoon. The entire staff worked to get the ceremony inside within a few short hours. I was nervous but it looked absolutely beautiful. Outdoors the chairs were removed, where we did our first look and the background photos are so unique and beautiful! After the ceremony, during the cocktail hour, the staff flipped the room in ONE HOUR, ONE HOUR! to a reception area. Cocktail hour was a huge hit- everyone is STILL talking about it. ("Those tomato soup/grilled cheese shooters were insane!"). Our guests loved sitting in the other room with the fireplaces, walking around the front porch and their jaws dropped when re-entering the reception room to see how it had changed. Also fun fact- we get compliments on our dinner selections all the time BUT, our vegetarian friend reached out separately to say how he always hates wedding dinners because the vegetarian options are so bland and boring or not cooked well. He said the pasta primavera was the BEST wedding dinner he had in a long time! Hannah and the staff made sure Ryan and I never *not* had a drink in our hands, or food in our stomachs. We were truly treated like royalty. At the end of the night, we had shake shack burgers laid out for guests on the way to the shuttles- a lifesaver before the after-party at the hotel! Overall, I could never have imagined my wedding taking place at any other venue. To quote one of my friends, "that ceremony was one of the most romantic I had ever seen between the lighting and candles". Not a moment went by that we did not feel like the most important people in the world, and if you're like me and want to limit your decorations, David's Inn's beauty speaks for itself. Do yourself a favor and book it quickly- because you will not regret it and your guests will be talking about it for years to come! We were the party of the year!

    I came here for my cousins wedding. First the top floor suite is baller. The girls got ready in their own special room and we got ready in the main room which sports two chesterfield couches and a shuffleboard table. Having gotten there around noon for a 5pm wedding we definitely broke that table one. The main room is nothing special but it's nice. I think the nicest room is the bar, it's got stained glass and a piano, and has a very old timey feel. I really loved that bar. The food at the place was pretty good. I liked there cocktail hour, there was a table for cheese that was missed until the end of the cocktail hour because it wasn't in a good location. They did have bacon wrapped scallops and steak with blue cheese which were awesome. The dinners they had were pretty good they had chateaubriand, lamb chops and a chicken dish. I had the lamb chops they were good covered in a strange sauce that I was indifferent about, but the lamb chops were still good. They brought out some mint jelly to, not my thing but my sister love lamb chops with that. All in all this was a pretty nice place and they food was pretty good. The drinks were poured pretty heavy, and they had some great scotch on hand, but stay away from the gin & tonics. I had one made with flat tonic, and another made with seltzer water, they were disgusting and I went back to scotch which wasn't a bad thing.

    ***If there's one review you should read before deciding to come here, it's this one. I'm about to…read morewax poetic.*** Let me preface by saying that I'm a young adult who considers himself a bit of a foodie. I work in Times Square so I usually frequent fine dining establishments in the city, but my home is North Jersey so I am acutely aware that there are some hidden gems in this state. Last week, I was at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River and was blown away. But this place is far, far, even more exceptional. Greatest dining experience ever. Called the restaurant due to a last-minute cancelation in my party. Evan, a manager, was super helpful in waiving any cancelation fees. It's BYOB and there's a brewery across the street that apparently does takeout. I just brought beer from my house. They gave me chilled glasses and a bucket of ice to keep my refreshments chilled. Onto the ambience. You walk in and it's a nice, cozy little place with tables and a bar top with an open kitchen layout behind it. You can see all the food that's cooking and the presentations that go behind each dish - all live in front of you. The chef's were busy but always obliged when I said hey or asked a question. I tried the 5 course chef's tasting menu for $125. You get a little bit of all of the best flavors coming out of the kitchen. And the flavors are always changing. They source their ingredients from local farms. First came out complimentary course #1 - all I remember is it had crudo in it. Then course #1 - gulf shrimp with squid. This is the point where I decide no matter how else dinner plays out, I'm coming back. What fresh ingredients and creative flavor pairings. Next was course #2 - duck confit spring roll. It's just a smaller portion of what's regularly on their menu. This may have been my favorite item of the night. Next was wood fired octopus in tagliatelle pasta. After that, I believe, was complimentary course #2 - what appeared to be a caesar salad. Anything they make is delicious. Finally, I had an American wagyu strip as the fourth course. Absolutely delectable. At this point, I'm in Heaven. But I'm not quite yet full and ready for my dessert - profiteroles - one of my favorite desserts. I was looking forward to it from the moment I walked in and saw it listed on the tasting menu. I only eat 1 meal a day so when I finally eat, I eat a lot. A normal person would be full at this point, but I wanted more. I also couldn't help but think it might have something to do with me not wanting to leave and just try anything this kitchen made. So I ordered more. I asked for their regular menu and ordered some more duck confit spring rolls and some type of pork belly entree. Quick note - the pork belly entree was not good. You have to take the losses on the chin to make the wins matter more. Pork belly over beans? It was like bbq ribs meets an English breakfast. Please get rid of that, respectfully. After 3 bites, I didn't want any more so I quietly flagged down my server, Kat, and told her please quietly take this, I fully intend to pay for it since I ordered it; it's just no good. And I had been raving to her about every dish up until that point. So she insisted that she'd take it off the check. I insisted I'd pay, she kept insisting, so I relented. That's really good customer service. Now time for dessert. I wish I could say I was ending on a better note but the Profiteroles - which I mentioned is a favorite dessert of mine - massive disappointment. After everything else was put together for care, I got notes of freezer for this last one - especially the pumpkin part. I love this restaurant and I intend on returning as soon as possible, so please don't take offense to my constructive criticism. I applaud your efforts to infuse different flavors together. It is working wonders for you. Keep it up. I'm gonna share pictures of everything, including the menu. But the last 2 things I'll talk about are the cost and the service. With the pork belly entree taken off, it was just the 5 course tasting menu, an order of duck confit spring rolls, and a $6 double espresso. The total came out to $168 after taxes. I tipped $168. That's right. 100%. In a world where people like to dock tip percentages from their precious "20%" for what they perceive to be a lack of good service, let's normalize going above 25% for exceptional service. Not everyone can afford 100% like me, but next tip tip your servers 30-35% for exceptional service. As a former server in my heyday, I promise it'll mean more to them than the few extra dollars to you. And exceptional service is what I got. From manager Evan, to server Kat, to all of the others I met - forgive me if I forget any names. Chef Kelly, Chef Mike, Chef Jon, Keira, Jimmy. Thank you for an unforgettable 5-star experience. Keep up the exceptional work. I will see you again soon.

The eggs were poached perfectly on the Benedict. The scrambled eggs unfortunately had so much salt in them they were on the edge of being unpalatable, so next time we will likely ask for no salt to be used. We were really surprised by the amount of salt used. The potato's are delicious- absolutely loved them. The only feedback on the Benedict is to please include way more sauce- there wasn't enough to actually taste it, or have some sauce on every bite, which really feels like the point of eggs Benedict. I'm not sure I'd order it again for that reason, although I want to- they nailed the eggs. Their iced coffee was good, too! The staff was really nice although they did seem very overwhelmed by the number of people they were serving. When we arrived the restaurant was about 3/4 full and we waited about 20 minutes to be seated while the kitchen "got caught up." Not too big of a deal, but definitely unexpected. The restaurant itself is cute, cozy, and clean.

For desserts, I had the Creme Brulee which was melt-in-your-mouth good, my husband had the raspberry sorbet which he really liked, and my dad had the carrot cake, also very good. The service was also excellent, with Mattar himself coming to say hello. Overall, a very satisfying experience- will definitely go again!
