Hi all! My fiance and I have been trying to find a venue in NJ without much luck. Many of the places we love are out of our budget. So, we've thought about looking at places along the NJ/PA border in an attempt to find what we want for the price we can afford. We expect to have about 225 guests (inviting 250) and our budget is capped at about $155/head MAX. We definitely want to have a huge cocktail hour, and would love a really unique venue (read: not a banquet hall; we'd love some sort of old manor or a similarly interesting spot). I'm at a loss on where to begin looking - can anyone point me in the right direction? Anyone have any opinions on places that they loved? We've done a few cursory searches on the knot venues and wedding wire venues, but haven't found it particularly illuminating yet.
Thanks in advance!
