I just got engaged and we are looking to get married next Fall in the NJ/NY area. Our top choice was the Bronx Zoo but it’s too pricey! Anyone know of other zoos in the area that can accomodate weddings? Also very interested in farm / barn venues. One of the biggest obstacles is that we’re looking for a large venue to seat over 200, but don’t want a traditional hotel/catering hall. Any suggestions for venues that aren’t exhorbitantly expensive for the booking fee? Thank you!

@iweinberg: We’re getting married at the Queens County Farm museum. It’s such a unique venue and has a really good rate! Only 1600 for the barn location but it can only hold 120 for a seated dinner. You can rent their large lawn space for $2000 I believe but you will have to rent tent, tables and chairs. They’re definitely worth checking out.

We are most likely deciding on a zoo in PA, but you should check out Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange. We didn’t actually look there, but they were on my list. They recently started wedding.

It may be farther than you want to venture, but my friend got married at Pruyn House in Albany. It was a lovely barn setting!
