Hello All,
I've been searching high and low in both Staten Island and New Jersey for a venue that is complete with a ceremony space, bridal dressing room, and reception hall for under $80 pp including taxes and gratuity. I plan on getting married on a Sunday afternoon any time between June and August of 2015 (I'm in grad school so the other months are not viable options). 125-150 people , buffet style is fine, no booze, and some nice architecture or grounds to take pretty wedding photos- an overall great bang for my buck. I thought it wasn't possible at first but I visited the Pantagis Renaissance and found that it is indeed possible as they quoted me a price of about $57 pp including 4 appetizers, salad, and a chicken dinner as well as cake and a champagne toast. I wasn't completely sold however as the tour seemed rushed and although I called 4 days in advance to book this tour, when I arrived they said there was no appointment made. I felt like it may be a sign of things to come. Any suggestions for beautiful, inexpensive venues with the specifications listed above? I know its a all order. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
