New Jersey Wedding Venues with a View of NYC

A New York City wedding venue is appealing — the city is full of things to do and see, it’s glamorous, it’s always interesting, and of course it’s a documentary photographer’s dream. But there’s another possibility we recommend, which is to find a New Jersey venue with a gorgeous view of NYC. The views of NYC from across the Hudson River are sometimes more breath-taking than what you would see if you were in the city itself. (And of course, there’s the fact that New Jersey venues tend to be a little more affordable than NYC ones.) Inspired by this great blog post on Hoboken Girl, we compiled a list of New Jersey wedding venues with a view of NYC:
