Hello we recently booked pleasantdale chateau for our wedding and are looking for places to do a rehearsal dinner around south orange in July of 2027.

It would be close to 200 people and essentially all guests would be traveling from far away so we don’t know the area.

Any recommendations would be incredibly helpful. Type of restaurant does not matter as of now we are open to anything.

Hello my finance and I are looking for somewhere in the city for an engagement party (preferably in Manhattan) that would fit upwards of 100 people.

It would likely be in the end of September so outdoors could be questionable. Our budget is around $10,000. We’re looking for advice on affordable venues, catering, drinks, entertainment, and any budget-friendly ideas that still make the event feel elegant and fun.

Would really appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you!
