The borough of Lincoln Park, which was recently ranked fifth in New Jersey Monthly magazine's list of "Best Places to Live in New Jersey," is a charming community, conveniently located just 14 miles northwest of Newark.

Lincoln Park is home to several churches, so if you're considering traditional wedding venues, make sure you take some time to see what your options are.

Some popular churches include Jacksonville Chapel, Abundant Life Worship Center, and the First Reformed Church of Lincoln Park.

Also, make sure you check out Gro-Rite Florist, which can help put the finishing touches on your wedding day with custom bridal bouquets, ceremony arrangements, reception centerpieces, and wedding cake decorations made with seasonal wedding flowers.

Finally, 202 Italian Bistro, a local favorite specializing in Northern Italian cuisine, is the perfect place to host intimate rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons, and wedding receptions.

As a family-oriented community, Lincoln Park has a well-developed Parks & Recreation Department, so make sure you take a break from the wedding planning process to enjoy what it has to offer.

To start, you can relax at Lincoln Park Community Lake, go golfing at Meadows Golf Club, attend one of the community's annual festivals, such as Lincoln Park Day, or visit nearby attractions like the American Labor Museum, Silas Condict Park, and the Paterson Museum.
