Hi everyone! Hoping for suggestions for winter wedding venues in the northern NJ (closer to the GWB), NYC, and Long Island area. We've seen a decent amount of places so far but I'm not in love with anything. My fiance says due to budget constraints we will have to compromise somewhere but I think the venue is something where we should love. Thoughts?
Lots of places we looked at and really like are out of budget or in budget but really dated/stuffy. We wanted an airy feel for an indoor wedding with a small outdoor space for pics and cigar smoking. We looked at conservatory type venues but it's either too expensive and/or the space is too small for the number of guests. HELP!
Thanks in advance!

P.S. I really don't like how this area is so expensive. We would like to keep it closer to home as most of our guests are in the area.
