Our mission at the Winding Woods venue is to provide a unique and memorable experience for your special day at our picturesque outdoor venue. Conveniently located at 97 E Jackson Avenue in Clayton, NJ, the Winding Woods venue is perfect for any outdoor enthusiasts. Our venue offers stunning natural views nestled inside an eleven-acre, mostly wooded lot, boasting an acre-wide pond just down the gravel roadway.

We specialize in micro wedding ceremonies, elopements, and vow renewals. Our secluded Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest, and Waterfront Overlook are naturally scenic spaces that can be used for tea parties, bridal showers, baby showers, outdoor events, and engagement photography.

New Jersey is among the best for outdoor ceremonies and has become one of the most popular states to get married in because we have all four seasons, which allows any month to be in season for an outdoor ceremony at the Winding Woods venue. We will surpass your expectations and eliminate the stresses of your big day by guiding you every step of the way. Our outdoor ceremonies provide the most memorable experience for your special occasion without the expensive cost of a traditional venue. Your venue doesn't have to fall short to stay on budget. Come see for yourself and set up a tour.
