site for very small wedding ceremony (25-50 people)

edited November -1 in The Lounge / Random Stuff
Any ideas of a local place, perhaps a synagogue, for a very small wedding ceremony? Max 50 people, but we are hoping more like 25. We just want a place for the ceremony, because the guests will meet afterward for dinner at a restaurant, so no need for catering, etc, and a restaurant will not work, because we have guests that keep strict kosher. Similarly, a church would not be appropriate, but a synagogue would be nice.

Oh, and also, need I mention that price is an issue!!

Thanks for any ideas!

    Brooklyn Botanic Gardens?

    $350 for up to 50 people, and the venue is nice, though unconventional.

    unconventional is great and the price is awesome! But the wedding can't be until November. Don't you think it would be too cold?

    or the Tobacco Warehouse under the Brooklyn Bridge, or the Boathouse in Prospect Park...

    I would suggest checking with the Brooklyn Historical Society in Brooklyn Heights. They have some beautiful rooms inside.

    25-50 is "very small"? I kept it to 4 people (0 guests).

    Yeah, same for Mrs. C and me. It was the two of us, the judge, and our witness (my brother). Best. Wedding. Ever!

    Well she is certainly unconventional, but I am surprised Mrs. C was down for that!

    having just watched a recent episode of Bridezillas, I can totally see the appeal of just doing it w/o the hype

    Isn't the "best wedding/reception ever" when everyone gets shit-faced and dances their asses off?

    Oh yes, there's nothing like high heels, too much champagne and the Electric Slide! Or in one case, one of many Scottish folk dances.
