Hello and Happy New Year to all. I am 5 months away from the Big Day. (May 15, 2021.) While alot of my stuff is already done and paid for (videographer, photographer, limo). I am from NJ we are getting married on the beach which is already covered as well.
The biggest problem that I have which still isn't completely nailed down yet is how to feed such a small group and provide entertainment (DJ).
For one thing in southern Nj most of the restaurants are seafood based and setup as a boardwalk style which can be quite pricey. We are on a budget I dont want to be too cheap but reasonable due to the amount of people on my guest list. Aside from that, a lot of the really nice restaurants are Italian which me and my FH does not WANT Italian food for our wedding.
Many people in the past suggested restaurant and while that may sound good, there's no entertainment in my opinion a wedding without entertainment would be horrible.
The most important thing to us beside the ceremony itself is the food and entertainment
I was thinking of renting a hall (VFW, fire hall ) but then again would need a caterer plus the DJ. My DJ is $500 includes 4 hr pkg uplighting, mics for ceremony and reception.
Basically need some ideas on what would be best for just a small group i guess. Thanks
