We are having a really hard time picking between 4 venues. it doesn't help that my fiancé & I really don't have the same style, so we don't always like the same things. And none of the venues have every single thing we want. Can you help?
Park Avenue Club: more his style than mine - not the over-the-top cocktail hour & Viennese I want - beautiful grounds - significantly more expensive than the others (but we are trying to negotiate) - I think we would need uplighting in the tent which adds $$$
Richfield Regency: hate the inside ceremony area so we would be using Verona Park, which adds a headache. Excellent cocktail hour & Viennese - the menu and the location are the biggest selling points. The grand ballroom is one of the only places we saw that satisfied both our styles, but I am concerned about the lack of windows. Great price.
Knoll Country Club East - even better price than Richfield, nice grounds, extensive menu. We would get uplighting which might cancel out the price difference. I am afraid the food won't be amazing.
Old Tappan Manor - beautiful space that we both like, nice grounds but no outdoor ceremony. Menu looks great. Kind of far from us. More expensive than Knoll & Richfield but not by much.
