  My wedding is there in September!  Their packages vary depending on the day of the week, the time of the year, and what you want in your package, and if its a sit down or buffet.  They are flexible where you can add/delete things from the packages.  The sit down pricing starts a little over $100 pp (plus tax and grat) but like I said this depends on what you want in your package (add/delete items) and the time of year and the day of the week.
  
  We are in the smaller room and having our ceremony there also.  I really like the wine cellar for the cocktail hour.  Also your centerpiece flowers are included (I met with the florist they work with and picked what I wanted) and so is the cake (from Terminis!).  The outside is very pretty for pictures.
  
  You should go check it out...they are very nice to work with so far.
  
  HTH!

  I just went to a wedding there, and it was great! The food was delicious, and everything looked nice. The only thing I didn't like was that they  had their cocktail hour in the wine cellar, and there was only wine, no other beverages for the guests.  Other than that, I loved everything!

  Getting married there in July. Love the way it looks and jim was very flexible with us in pricing. We are having a basic buffet, with open bar and full cocktail hour for $80 a person (including tax and gratuity). Jim told us that while only wine will be in the wine cellar for cocktail hour the guest can walk upstairs to the main room if they want beer or liquor.

  Our wedding is in a couple of weeks at Auletto's.  We're having our ceremony there outside (weather permitting), cocktail hour, and a sit-down dinner reception.  Off the top of my head, I can't remember exactly how much the per-person cost was for us, but I think it was around $110...maybe a little more or less?
  
  I really can't think of any serious cons we've had with them so far, so here are some of my favorite pros and things included in our package:
  
  * Cost is discounted for a Sunday wedding (and also some off-peak months, but I forget which since that didn't apply to us)
  * Menu is very flexible (LOTS of options/combos/add-ons for variety of price points)
  * You don't have to poll your guests in advance about their dinner options--they make everything to order that day if you're doing a sit-down dinner, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher-style, etc. dietary requirements
  * Cake is included (though not a ton of options on this)
  * Flower centerpieces are included (Cook's in Runnemede is their florist, and I liked them so much I went with them for our ceremony flowers, too--and as a previous person said, you can meet with them directly to pick out your flower colors/style/type)
  * Valet parking is included
  * Gratuity is included
  * Outdoor setting is really pretty, and ceremony sites are covered by tents in case of slightly inclement weather, and also for shade
  * Indoor decor is very neutral, so it could easily complement whatever your colors/patterns are
  * Center Stage Entertainment is one of their preferred DJs, and if you book them, they'll do your ceremony music for free (that's what we did)
  * The staff is really nice
  
  I say definitely meet with them.  Also, they do a free bridal show a couple of times a year, so that's a nice opportunity to check it out.  Good luck!

  I attended a wedding there in the fall of 2008.  The ceremony was in the tent near the lake.  The weather was beautiful - I thought they should have had it the open air.  The grounds are beautiful.  The wine cellar is a little small.  The reception was in the room upstairs with the high ceilings - very nice.  The food and service were very good.
