I capture the unspoken — the glances, the silences — drawing from New York's pulse and the richness of global cultures. Every wedding is its own intricate narrative. Rooted in theatre and life's everyday rhythms, I document moments both transient and timeless.

Park Savoy Wedding

The Park Savoy Estate at 236 Ridgedale Avenue in Florham Park, New Jersey, is a mansion built in 1870 on a former dairy farm, used as a speakeasy during Prohibition, where Charles Lindbergh and Charles Edison came to celebrate, then a nightclub, then a country club, extensively renovated in 2011 into one of the most sought-after wedding venues in New Jersey. One wedding at a time. Up to 400 guests. Grand ballroom, manicured gardens with a reflecting pond and a gazebo, a scenic lake, and grounds that photograph beautifully in every season.

About the Venue

Located at 236 Ridgedale Avenue in Florham Park, NJ, in Morris County. The original 1870 structure still exists. Renovated in 2011 by Barry Maurillo, Joe Maurillo, and Vito Cucci, the same team behind Nanina’s in the Park and Park Chateau. In-house catering with master chefs. No site fee. One wedding per day with private, exclusive access to all facilities. Fresh flowers and candles provided. Preferred vendor list available.

The Spaces

The grand ballroom has a 19th-century Carrara marble fireplace, ornate millwork, coffered ceilings, columns, alcoves, crystal chandeliers, and French doors. The interiors have antique furnishings and oil paintings throughout.

The multi-tiered veranda overlooks the gardens. The manicured grounds include waterfalls, a reflecting pond, a wrought iron gazebo, stone pathways, and a scenic lake in the distance. The adjoining golf course provides rolling hills as the backdrop for outdoor ceremonies and portraits.

Two getting-ready suites. One elegantly appointed with chandeliers, millwork, and antique furnishings. The other with dark hardwood paneling, exposed brick, and natural stone tile. An on-site chapel is also available.

A private cocktail hour is available for the couple to step away together after the ceremony before rejoining guests. Time to eat, breathe, and absorb the day. I recommend it to every couple who books here.

Photography at the Park Savoy Estate

The ballroom under the crystal chandeliers and marble fireplace. The grand staircase and formal rooms for portrait coverage. The veranda during cocktail hour with the garden views. The reflecting pond and wrought iron gazebo for couple portraits. The stone pathways through the manicured gardens. The lake and rolling hills at golden hour. And the two very different getting-ready suites, which give variety to preparation coverage.

What is the Park Savoy Estate?

An 1870 mansion on former dairy farm land in Florham Park, NJ. Prohibition-era speakeasy, then nightclub, then country club, renovated in 2011. One wedding per day, up to 400 guests. Grand ballroom with Carrara marble fireplace, coffered ceilings, and crystal chandeliers. Manicured gardens with a reflecting pond, a gazebo, and lake views. In-house catering. No site fee.

What makes the Park Savoy Estate distinctive?

The genuine 1870 structure, with its Prohibition history and a high-quality renovation, is unusual. This is not a venue built to look historic. It is historic, with a story spanning 150 years. The one-wedding-per-day exclusivity means private access to all facilities. And the grounds, with the reflecting pond, the gazebo, the lake, and the rolling hills of the golf course, offer portrait options that work in every season.

Does the Park Savoy have a site fee?

No. Pricing is based on catering packages. Contact the venue directly for current rates.

What is the private cocktail hour at the Park Savoy?

An option for the couple to step away privately after the ceremony for their own cocktail hour before rejoining guests. Time to eat, absorb the day, and spend a few quiet minutes together. I recommend it.

Do you photograph weddings at the Park Savoy Estate?

Yes. If your wedding is here, I would love to hear about it.
