Alternative type venue- any advice please!

Hey Ladies,

So I'm looking for any suggestions on a venue where I can have my ceremony, cocktails and reception with an outdoor (maybe tented?) area.  We are looking for a Fall 2012 wedding date.
I've looked at Crossed Keys and though it's very nice, it's a little too country for me.  So any suggestions on a venue that is not the traditional ballroom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Are you set on a Saturday wedding or are you willing to consider Friday or Sunday? How many guests are you planning for, and how much are you looking to spend per person?  Do you have a target area?  If you can give us a little more information you can get some specific recommendations.

    Oakeside Mansion in Bloomfield comes to mind.  They have an outdoor ceremony area, cocktails are held in the mansion and dinner is in a permanent tent.

    Thanks for the suggestions already provided!

    In answer to some of the questions posted:
    We are not set on a Saturday wedding- We'd be open to a Friday as well. 
    We're anticipating a smaller wedding- about 100?
    Our budget is no more than $30,000.

    Check out Lake Valhalla Club. You can get married on the lake, cocktail hour is held outside in a tent as well as stations inside.
