It depends on the season. A summer day could be beautiful, or extremely hot... Unfortunately we can't control the weather. :(Wed, 11 Apr 2007 11:30:10 GMTNJB_Donhttp://www.newjerseybride.com/Bride/Messageboard/Topic16-7-1.aspxI have an appointment here on Saturday!

I am posting this to alert any brides-to-be still looking for a location as I think this place is absolutely wonderful. So, if you are looking for a September date in North Jersey, I would highly recommend this location.</P><P>Good luck!Sun, 18 Feb 2007 23:36:32 GMTShellym96
