Nj rustic/unusual venues?

Mrswags2be

Hi. Lookin for a venue that's rustic or unusual. Not the typical banquet hall or ball room. Preferably with an indoor/outdoor option. I've looked at ballyowen and loved it, stone house is expensive and a lot of bad reviews, raritan inn was small but nice and crossed keys has noise ordinance at 10 pm?. About 150 people and a 15 to 20k budget. Looking around northern nj but certainly open to traveling further. Thank you in advance!

Perona Farms or Inn at Millrace Pond

I'm getting married at Valenzano Winery in Shamong, NJ. Our ceremony & cocktail hour are outside & our reception is in the 'Winemaker's Ballroom' which isn't your typical ballroom at all. There are tall windows along 1 wall, a big stone fireplace, the bar is all stone, & it has a bit of a rustic feel to it. 

They also have a 2nd location up the street where you can have your ceremony outside by the vineyards, cocktail hour in a garden, & reception under a cute pavilion. You book them through a preferred caterer. We're using The Ultimate Caterers out of Marlboro.  CLICKY

I contacted Perona about a month ago and they told me they don't hold receptions in the barn!

Perona Farms doesn't do the barn receptions anymore. But you can still do cocktail hour outside.
Also check out David's Country Inn and Skylands Manor.

Second David's Country Inn. Very unique place, we're getting hitched there in 5 months to the day! Good luck!

Skyview Golf Course and Lake Mohawk County Club are budget friendly and rustic-y. GL!

Take a look at Farmstead GC in Andover; not very far from Perona and the venue IS an old barn.  Pretty budget-friendly, too.

Has anyone looked at the old mill inn in basking ridge?  i am trying to get an idea for prices for Fri or Sat night in Sept/Oct or April/May.  about 150 people.
