Why We Love Brooklake Country Club
Brooklake Country Club sits on 150 acres of rolling hills in Florham Park and has one of the most beautiful lake views of any ballroom in the region, visible through floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the reception. What sets this venue apart from a musical standpoint is having not just one piano but two: one in the Grand Foyer downstairs and one in the cocktail space upstairs. A pianist playing arrival music in the foyer as guests come in creates a welcoming first impression before the ceremony even begins, and it is a detail that not many venues can offer.
What Entertainment Works Best at Brooklake Country Club
The ballroom at Brooklake Country Club works well for a band, DJ, or hybrid, and its oversized dance floor gives any format room to breathe. The two pianos are the standout entertainment detail here: having a pianist in the foyer during guest arrival, alone or with additional musicians, creates a natural musical arc from the moment guests arrive through the end of cocktail hour upstairs, before the reception begins.
Ceremony Music at Brooklake Country Club
A string trio or string quartet is a beautiful choice for a ceremony at Brooklake, whether held lakeside on the veranda or indoors. A violin and cello duo also works well for a more intimate ceremony moment.
Cocktail Hour Music at Brooklake Country Club
With a piano available in the cocktail space upstairs, solo piano is a natural and elegant choice for cocktail hour. A jazz trio also works well and fits the refined character of the club. Couples who want to use the foyer piano for arrivals and continue the piano theme upstairs during cocktail hour can create a seamless, cohesive musical thread through the first two hours of the day.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: Works well in the ballroom, with the lake visible through floor-to-ceiling windows setting a stunning backdrop.
Hybrid: A strong option, with live energy from a saxophone or percussionist adding texture to the DJ setup.
Band: A strong fit for the oversized dance floor and ballroom’s scale, giving guests a fully live reception with lake views as the backdrop.

"Our DJ was Bryan and he was fantastic throughout the entire process. He arrived very early the day of the wedding to set up and ensure everything was perfect. He listened to every single song request we had given to him prior to the wedding and made them all flow together for a wonderful combination of oldies, motown, pop, country, hip-hop, etc. He kept the songs changing frequently enough that you never got sick of what was playing. EVERYONE was up dancing."
