nj budget wedding ideas, stuck on venue?

We're getting married at Eastlyn Golf Course & The greenview Inn in Vineland and it was one of the more affordable venues we saw in South Jersey and the owner (Rob) and his Manager (Deena) are really accommodating and great to work with. We're paying around $118 per person but we're having a much larger wedding so it's slightly discounted per person, but not much.

That price includes, ceremony, cocktail hour (with 6 passed hor d'ouvres & 1 carving station, plus cold appetizer display), and reception - we chose buffet over plated to cut down on dinner time and have more party time and we get 3 entrees, two sides, a soup, salad, and pasta. They also provide a dessert table, open bar (we did not upgrade to the deluxe, didn't feel it was necessary with everything included in basic), and they pay $2.50 per person at Stella's Bakery for wedding cake. They have a day of coordinator, they do all your set up and teardown. You get golf carts for pictures on the course if you want.
