Hi all! I got engaged over Thanksgiving and have searched high and low for a wedding venue since without success. The closest I have come to booking a place is Addison Park, but I just can't bring myself to book at a place that holds 2 weddings at a time - sharing the same WALL - with 2 bridal parties taking turns for photos, noise complaints, etc.
My "dream wedding" was always the Liberty House - something with amazing views and different than the typical ballroom/reception hall. However, in person, I felt it was too small for our 200 person wedding (despite the fact it can hold more) and I want something a little more formal/elegant.
Does ANYONE, ANYWHERE have ANY suggestions for a venue in the NJ/Westchester/Hudson Valley even Brooklyn/New Rochelle, etc. area??? Trying to avoid Manhattan, but will keep an open mind if it has everything I want. Some of the items on my venue "wish list" are below. I know I cannot have them ALL, but they may help with suggestions...I am about ready to give up completely.
- elegant/classy/modern (no old carpeting, wood paneling)
- lots of windows
- beautiful views
- on the water (jersey shore or hudson river) or with great views (but fancy - many jersey shore places are very casual)
- preferably 1 wedding a a time
Thank you in advance!!!
