Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are looking for venues in central/ North Jersey area. Hopeful date of October 2020! We are having trouble finding a place that is pocket friendly. We are also paying the bulk of it. Most of the places we found so far that we love are $135 a plate! Which we feel is a little too much for our pockets. Also we are having trouble finding a venue that can accommodate our head count of 100-120 on a friday/saturday night.
We need a venue that can also host a ceremony. And basically one that is all inclusive meaning, food service, bar package, tables with linens and cutlery included, as well as desert/ wedding cake. My fiancé is also is very keen on outdoors option, either for a ceremony or cocktail hour
So far the places that we love are Addison Park in Arberdeen NJ. (135/155 per plate friday/ Saturday in October)
and The Farmhouse in Hampton, NJ (165 per plate in October) minimum guest of 125/150 as well :/
I just need more suggestions of where to look because i’m not familiar with NJ venues at all! I feel like there’s cheaper places that meet these points! and a DIY venue is something I cannot handle on my own as I live in currently live in Pa and i’m an RN that works night shift 🙃
