Hi everyone!!


Does anyone have any recommendations on venues for a Friday night wedding in Sept/Oct 2015.  We are looking to have approx. 100-120 ppl. Preferably staying at or below $130/pp including tax and gratuity.


THANKS SO MUCH!!


Danielle

    @danielle60314 I had my fiance go through a list yesterday and see what prices were.  You should called Fiesta, Shackamaxon Country Club, and Galloping Hill Clubhouse.

    Also if you have NJ Bride magazine in the back it has venues broken out by size and price...that is what we used as our guide this pass weekend in making a list to call.

    @Danielle60314, check out the Tides Estate. Have you had a chance to check out The Knoll or any of the Crystal Springs properties yet?

    I would also recommend the Crysal Plaza. We're having our wedding this September for 225 people at 155pp (incl tax and tip), but I know they can adjust their pricing depending on your budget. They've been absolutely amazing to work with, incredible service, food is out of the world - I can't recommend them enough. I'd say call and ask to speak with Fred - he's been our contact and put our package together based on our overall budget. Plus, it's an old mansion that's been converted into an event space, so it has a lot of character.

    Thanks everyone!!


    @Jeannine12- I will check Hudson News at lunch! THANKS!!  LOL

    @silver0319- They are on the list for next week to visit. Have to go around my work schedule. :) I have Atrium CC, Ravello's and IL Tulipano set for this week.  The Tides is really nice but, not on our list.   My Fiance is divorced and that was the place he was married prior. Def cant go there! :)

    @mellyD2014- Thank you for the feedback.. Is that for a Saturday night wedding? We are thinking perhaps a Friday night... Its on our list to see too. My Fiance liked that place a lot.  I may call there to see next week with the others...

    Yes we looked at it in the winter.  We met with Carl.  It was the first place we went to see (out of 8 venues).  Had it been the last place we went with we probably would have booked him.  We got blown away by The Grove but I think Seasons was a least 10k less and in retrospect we should have saved the money.  They have a smaller room upstairs and a larger room downstairs.  They own the venetian too so the food is excellent.  My fiance's family has had parties there and I recently went to a tricky tray there during the week.  It was very good.
