Venue Availability

Hello,

I'm not from the area but I do know with COVID a lot of 2020 brides have rescheduled their wedding to next year on top of the original 2021 brides so it's pretty difficult to squeeze a wedding in if you're just getting engaged. If you are set on next year it might be a suggestion to seek out venues that are non-traditional (not really used for weddings) you might get lucky and find something you like.

I would advise picking a date in 2022. Because even if you find and fall in love with a non-traditional venues, you will struggle finding the rest of your vendors as well. I had picked my venue in Jan. 2020 and as I was looking for vendors (in March/April), I was already having people be booked up for my date (which is why I quickly booked the rest of my vendors). It will be a lot of stress and you might feel better if you just hold off.

Have you checked out the Venues tab, above? Try cross-referencing it with the Knot and Google.

Restaurants may be very anxious to pick up business, but they do tend to charge a lot to take up their entire dining room on Saturdays.

You could also look into theatres - they are going to be scrambling for revenue after all this, and may be open to hosting a wedding.

Hi there! - this probably isn't super helpful but the Madison Hotel Conservatory (beautiful, giant green house venue!) in Morristown, NJ (direct trains from Penn Station to the venue! its so easy!) has Saturday, June 19th available! Check out their reviews on here for more info on the venue
