Need Venue Help in Northern NJ

in New Jersey
My fiance and I are planning on a July - August 2013 wedding.  So far, we have seen Park Savoy and Nanina's in the Park.  We were given prices of $260/$180 (Sat/Sun) for Park Savoy and $250/$170 for Nanina's.  We would prefer a Saturday and expect 175 guests.  Our max for a Saturday is $200 all inclusive.  We would consider a Sunday but, the place would have to exceed all of our needs.  Other venues on our list include:  The VIlla, Crystal Plaza, Brownstone, The Grove, Valley Regency, Meadow Wood Manor and Brooklake Country Club.  Are there any other halls I should add to our list of consideration?

    I love my venue... Rockleigh Country Club in Rockleigh NJ and I also loved Florentine GArdens in Northvale.  You will not get a Sat night (at least during peak season) for $200 on a Sat, but def on a Friday or Sunday.  Also, both require 200 person minimum for Sat night.  That was our problem because we could not guarantee 200, so we had to do a Friday.  Good luck!

    Venetian and Seasons are beautiful and would work for your size wedding.  We just booked at The Palace at Somerset, which would work if you would consider Central Jersey.  Can you describe what you are looking for in a venue (outdoors, 1 wedding at a time, modern, menu, etc).  We looked at 25 venues before we chose, so I have seen most of them in North/Central Jersey.

    I am getting married at the Park Savoy next year in March on a Friday and an paying$120 a head. They even threw in free veniesse hour. Would you consider a Friday earlier in the season? My friend got married at the Seasons last year which is nice and the food was really good. The only negative is you dont have the venue to yourself. She paid $180 for a Saturday in July.

    We have to have a summer wedding, I'm a teacher.  Would prefer a venue with only 1 wedding at a time.  I tried Venetian and they require 200 min.  Really can't do a Friday, will consider a Sunday.  Would like a room that blends well with Blues/Lavender, etc for a summer wedding.

    Did you look into Il Tulipano? I know they hold 1 wedding at a time and I believe they recently renovated the site.

    We did a Saturday daytime at Florentine because of the 200 person minimum, but the price dropped significantly.  I really like the one event at a time thing.  Definitely check it out!

    Family members of mine just had weddings at West Mount CC and Florentine Gardens, so I can't have mine there.

    I am having mine at the Grove on a friday night next august, I don't remember exactly the price on top of my head but I can check for you if you want. It was in the same rice range as the season and the venetian. All are gorgeous venues but the grove was the one available on the day we wanted. Our minimum is 175.

    I highly recommend Il'Villaggio. The food is amazing and the place is beautiful. They do only 1 wedding at a time.

    We looked at many different venues over a course of 3 weeks and we fell in love with the palace. I know you mentioned summer because you are a teacher. I am as well and we booked for the first weekend in November around teacher's convention.

    I went to a wedding at Nanina's and it was beautiful. I'm having my reception at the Meadow Wood Manor. I think both are good choices. :)

    I just looked at the Medow Wood Manor. I am looking for a Sunday wedding. Including tax and gratuity from April - December, is $145 pp with a min of 125 people. They offer a lof with that, free valet parking, 22 white glove passed hor d'oeuvres, with 2 standard cocktail stations (hot and cold antipasta, cheeses, dips, pasta, fruits, vegs) and 2 stations of your choice for the cocktail hour. Open Bar premium and ultra premium, appetizer/salad, multiple dinner choices, ice sculpture, signature drink upon arrival, and a bunch more. I have a chart I have made up comparing the places that I have seen. Private message me if you would like any more info! Best of luck!

    I'm also using the Rockleigh CC and I LOOOOOOOOOOVE that place, it's so beautiful. I'm having mine on a Sunday evening in August and its $150 pp, because I didn't want to go over $200 pp or a 200 person minimum.
