About Basking Ridge Country Club

Set on 258 private acres in the heart of Somerset County, Basking Ridge Country Club offers couples a newly renovated wedding venue that beautifully blends timeless elegance with a fresh, contemporary feel. Surrounded by rolling golf-course views and pastoral landscapes, the property feels peaceful and secluded while still being conveniently located for guests traveling from throughout New Jersey and the Tri-state area.

Inside, the clubhouse is light, bright and welcoming, with neutral interiors designed to complement a wide range of wedding styles and color palettes. Knee-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Somerset Hills, while crystal chandeliers, raised hearth fireplaces and rich wood flooring add warmth and sophistication throughout. The result is a setting that feels equally suited for classic black-tie weddings, romantic garden-inspired celebrations and modern receptions alike.

One of the standout spaces is the Pennbrook Ballroom, an elegant reception space featuring dramatic windows, sparkling chandeliers and access to an outdoor balcony overlooking the grounds. The ballroom comfortably accommodates weddings for up to 180 guests while still feeling inviting and refined for smaller celebrations.

Couples looking for more intimate gatherings will also love The Ridge Room, a cozy and stylish space ideal for rehearsal dinners, showers, welcome parties or smaller receptions.

For small weddings, Basking Ridge Country Club offers thoughtfully curated Micro Wedding packages designed specifically for intimate guest lists of approximately 50 to 80 guests on select dates throughout the year.

Outdoor ceremonies here are especially beautiful, with panoramic views of lush greenery and open skies creating a naturally picturesque backdrop for vows and photographs. The property’s manicured grounds and scenic golf course also provide endless opportunities for romantic wedding portraits throughout the day.
