looking for NJ rustic/unusual/inexpensive reception venue

Our son and his fiance are looking for a down to earth, casual reception location in NJ.

They are staying away from the traditional “chandelier” reception halls.

I am hoping you might be able to help us out.

We have already looked at a barn in Holmdel, NJ and a mill in Stockton, NJ

But they are both already booked for the time period we need.

We need a rustic, inexpensive reception location in NJ or the PA border that is available October/November 2013.

They are trying to keep costs to $80 per person.

Any ideas?

    Stockton inn is close to the nj/pa border and definitely is an alternative type venue. I looked at it and it's very quaint and pretty but just wasn't exactly what we wanted. We ended up going with David's country inn in hackettstown nj. They have an intimate historic feel and are very reasonably priced. We were also looking for more unique, intimate places and David's fits the bill perfectly.

    I've seen a few nice weddings at Rutgers Gardens. You may also want to check the New Hope/Lambertville area

    The Rutgers Club on college ave is great - very affordable and good food.  The two main issue are that there is a max of 75 people and the dance floor is in a different room.  Other than that you will be blown away by their price.

    I second the Farmstead.

    Crossed Keys  also in Andover is very rustic but not inexpensive. 

    Depending on the time of year there's an outdoor pavillion with a roof & stone floor but no walls at Ballyown golf club in Hardyston.  I went to an anniversary party there.  It was very nice.
