40-50 person Wedding in North NJ (Paging Celia! :))

Hello All! I'm having a bit of a dilemma where I'm struggling to find nice 40-50 person wedding venues in North / Central NJ.

Hello All!

I'm having a bit of a dilemma where I'm struggling to find nice 40-50 person wedding venues in North / Central NJ. A lot of folks have 75 person minimums, or are huge ballrooms where we'd look ridiculous with that many people!

So far I've found "The Manor" which has a small room with 60 person minimum which I don't mind paying, and "The Olde Mill Inn" has a lovely 65 person minimum room.

A few requirements: We really really prefer a Saturday night, I know Sundays are lower minimums but I'm super hopeful we can find something. We also don't need a dance floor, but we don't just want a restaurant either. Something with the feel of a wedding place, but perhaps with a more intimate feeling.

I loved the idea of The Peacock Inn in Princeton but its a tiny bit too far, we need to stay about 15-20 minutes north of that, or even further north if possible.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be super grateful. Thank you so much!

    I'm in CT, not NJ but I think the same would apply. My wedding is in the first Saturday in November. I did that so it would be off season. Typically minimum at my venue was 120 but we negotiated down to 75. Not to mention, it's cheaper.

    So, an update on where we ended up - I think (we're deciding today) we're going for the Olde Mill Inn at the Grain House on a Sunday, so the minimum is at 50. We think we'll come in at 40 so it isn't the worst ever. Hopefully it doesn't look too small of a party for the Grain House! We're making the decision today, and I'm a bit nervous on a Sunday lunchtime wedding, but hopefully it will be beautiful regardless!

    And we will need an officiant, so I might be in touch Celia Smiley winking
