Crossed Keys Estate

One wedding at a time on a New Jersey estate

Crossed Keys Estate sits on Pequest Road in Andover, in the hills of northwest New Jersey, roughly an hour from Manhattan. The property covers more than twenty acres of meadows, formal gardens and woodland paths, with mature trees that have stood for about two centuries. The farmhouse at its centre is family-owned and operated, and the estate takes a single wedding at a time.

A day typically moves through the grounds. Ceremonies are held in the gardens, cocktails take place in the glass-enclosed Conservatory, and the reception is in the Farmhouse. Two getting-ready suites, the Playhouse and the Pequest Parlor, mean the couple and their families can prepare on site. Catering is prepared in house by a team with more than thirty years of experience, and florals are designed by the sister company, Crossed Keys Designs.
