About
On WeddingWire since 2008
The Bernard’s Inn has entered into a new partnership with celebrity chef, David Burke. We are now called, Red Horse at the Bernard’s Inn. We have a newly renovated restaurant bar and main dining room, along with a new restaurant, “The Bernie.”
The Bernards Inn is a wedding venue located in Bernardsville, New Jersey. This luxurious property offers couples a romantic and intimate escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city as they celebrate their wedding. The stylish and sophisticated decor allows couples to create the wedding they’ve always envisioned right down to the finest of details. With dozens of glamorous chandeliers and cozy stone fireplaces, this enchanting site welcomes guests to rejoice in harmony and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The Bernie (formally known as the Silver Vault & Wine Pantry) is a private room in the lower level of our venue with a private entrance. There is a full men and women's bathrooms on this level for the private functions. It was once a speakeasy in the 1920s, which was then turned into a bowling alley, pool, billiard room and several restaurants. There is still the original brick and stone in the space. The Bernies décor is reminiscent of the great estate homes of the Bernardsville Mountain Colony. It is a very intimate, rustic and cozy space. The Bernie bar is a section of the room with some banquet seats, private bar and a great cocktail hour space (or used for gift opening or buffets and much more!). he Bernie dining room is where your guests can be seated to eat. There is also a hidden TV in this section of the room. You can seat a maximum of 55 guests in the Bernie dining room (maximum of 5 oval tables with 11 guests at each) and an additional 40 in the Bernie bar. We rent out this entire space, the Bernie bar and Bernie dining room. We rent The Bernie and the Bernie bar as one room. Please note, the Bernie is not handicap accessible. You can enter this room from the lobby, followed by 14 steps or our private entrance with 6 steps.
Fueled by passion, grit and a knack for artful innovation, David Burke is one of the best known and most respected chefs in modern American cuisine with his signature whimsical, boundlessly creative approach to food.
Currently, Burke and his DBHM team operate or orchestrate the culinary component of 18 restaurants, a bakery and our historic property, The Bernard’s Inn.

Quaint hotel with a charming ballroom for the ceremony and dinner. Valet parking and friendly staff make this a wonderful venue in which I enjoyed officiating when I was in NJ.
