"Intimate" Reception Venues

Patricia, on October 10, 2020 at 10:13 AM Posted in New Jersey Planning 0 9

Hi Everyone!


My fiancé and I got engaged in August and we have been looking for a wedding venue in the Northern NJ area for our "intimate" wedding. We are expecting to have about 70 people which is considered intimate and most wedding venues don't meet our minimums. We simply don't want to break the bank or pay for plates that won't be taken at our wedding. I think at this point we have looked through most places recommended to us on the knot. A destination wedding for us would be a bit of a logistical problem so we are avoiding it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for small wedding venues or hosting a more intimate wedding in general? Time is flying and we would really like to get married next Fall 2021 the latest.

    I recommend park shelters or maybe rent out a small business cafe/coffee shop or an art or yoga studio.

    Check hotels, fire Halls, community centers etc they usually rent their venues out and they aren't expensive at all (obviously not a 5 start hotel but hotels like Hilton, holiday inn, etc).

    We're getting married at Perona Farms (Andover, NJ) in spring 2021 with 50 guests. We talked them down from 60, and that was before the pandemic.

    More into central jersey but it may be worth checking out the grain house at the olde mill inn! I think the max guest count is 125 so 70 seems totally doable! There’s both indoor and outdoor space, and there are rooms on the property
