    Look at some shore venues in Long Branch, Spring Lake, etc. Feb will be an "off" time for them and you should be able to score a nice discount. Good luck!

    Also, if you're open to a Sunday wedding, it will definitely cost less than a Saturday or even a Friday wedding in some venues.

    i know a lot of brides are even looking into thursdays for weddings, so that may help, too! also, DIY everything! get creative + forget fresh flowers. a florist bill can end up being one of your most expensive things.

    I'm getting married at the Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, and I definitely think you can keep it under that price.  Especially in the winter!! It is a beautiful venue!!

    Try the Somerville Elks on Route 28 in Bridgewater  It's surprisingly lovely.  Food packages start at $19.99 pp Dessert & alcohol are extra but very reasonable.

    I'm a Lake Valhalla Bride and we are having a wedding with 150 for about $20,000 in October.

    Lake Mohawk Country Club was also very affordable.  They don't adjust price based on season, its flat rate which is nice.  We are at about $21k for LVC but if we chose Lake Mohawk it would have been $14k which included open bar and a cake.  So you do get a lot of bang for your buck.
