Hi! I'm newly engaged (Christmas!) and my fiance and I would like to have our reception in a big beautiful rustic barn with exposed beams and high ceilings.  I have seen very few in the tri-state area and am starting to get worried we'll have to change our theme, which would probably not be something we'd want to do... Anyone know something that's not on the first 15 pages of Google?  :) We'd go within a 2 hr radius of NJ, give or take (he's from South NJ, I'm from North).  My favorite favorite place so far was http://www.friedmanfarms.com/index.html but they don't have anything until summer 2013.  Also, we plan to have around 175 people attending and hope to bring our own caterer as we have a friend who will give us a discount but  obviously beggars can't be choosers.  HELP! We can't set a date until we have a place!  

I've been looking for the same thing in the Philadelphia area - most of the places I've found have been out toward Lancaster, which is probably a far drive for you...

No I would totally do Lancaster, We've looked into Landis Museum yellow barn something or rather... that is a contender- they have one sunday open actually we're talking about- we'd obviously prefer a saturday but that's definitely an option, do you know of any others out that way?

And Yes, I looked into Perona farms, not exactly what we're looking for, but I haven't heard of the Laurita Winery, I'll look it up now, thanks :)

@xokaleneox: I looked at that one too.  :)   I'm at work now and all of my bookmarks are on my home PC - I'll send you any other links I saved later  :)

thanks girls! showing all these to the fiance-  he's pretty set on the barn, as am I, but some of these look like they could work :)   keep them coming though if you think of anything else pleasee :) :)

Apple barn farms is a bit out of our price range but it is gorgeous- I'm not sure about the price range for the  one in connecticut one but I'll def. look more into it thanks! it's beautiful!

thanks!  any idea about their rates?
