Since we are trying to get married in about 7 months, we've been all over the place with venues - kind of just seeing who has a reasonable date and who wants to give us a good deal for it being short notice. Does anyone have recent experience as guest or bride with either of these venues? When I search, everything is like 2 years old

We both loved the Newark Club but just want some firsthand info. Highlawn, I am not sold at all but they gave us a ridiculous deal and my FI loved it.
Re: Recent opinions of Newark Club or Highlawn Pavilion?
(I've never been to the Newark club so I don't have a first hand experience to go by.)
Did you look at any other venues? When we were looking we also looked at The Berkley Plaza and Hamilton Park Hotel which were cheaper than Newark Club.
We were def considering HPH but then saw the newark club and fell in love
