This is one of my favorite posts ever! I'm not sure about NJ, but my sister recently got married at City Hall in NYC on a Friday morning. It was one of the happiest places I have ever been in my life. Afterwards we went to City Hall restaurant a couple blocks away. I don't know if NYC is an option for you, but thought I would put it out there!
Depends on what time of year you want to elope, but I love the Jersey shore, down by Avalon or Cape May, in the off season. During the summer, they get crazy, but the early spring/late fall, they can still be really beautiful and kind of empty (which is really nice).
Then again, I may be biased because my FI proposed in Februrary, on the beach, in the snow, in Avalon :P
Another vote for Cape May. DH and I got engaged at Congress Hall and, during that trip, walked past City Hall and saw a couple eloping. They had a photographer taking pictures and just looked so happy. I am sure the Cape May Tourism folks could help with more options.

DH & I toyed with the idea of telling a few friends to wear sundresses/ slacks for guys & rounding them up in a limo to get married on the beach.
Lol this all sounds so good we should just drop all of our wedding plans and elope I am over this long engagement!
