I know, I know, it's not traditional. Don't slam me on that. I've always dreamed about a slightly unsettling wedding, but I'm new to NJ and have no idea where to look. I was thinking maybe outdoors, in the evening, or inside a slightly Gothic building. (Abandoned church? Funeral home?) The wedding party itself is less than 50 people, so I'm not very worried on capacity. Our wedding date is set for Halloween next year, and the ceremony would be followed up by a Halloween party, so ideally, the venue would be for the vows and the reception. Anywhere 2 hours from Gloucester county is a bad idea, however, since I want to do a late afternoon/evening wedding.
Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas of where else to look for a good location?
Fyi, the family is firmly behind me on this. We've looked at all of the traditional venues and thrown them out because they don't fit my partner or I. I'm of the belief that if I'm paying for a party, it should be a reflection of our personalities.
