@AAQ, we are going off topic of the OP who was griping about shidduch prospects for those not in a top tier yeshiva but being that you asked I will answer.
All major frum areas have three type of wedding halls, none takanos where one pays full price, for example The Palace in Brooklyn, Lake Terrace in Lakewood , Atrium in Monsey, hybrid halls where there are certain days where they have takonos weddings other days none takonos for example Yeled vYaldah in Brooklyn, Neemas Hachaim in Lakewood, then there staight takonos halls such as Torah Vyiera in Brooklyn, Bais Faiga in Lakewood and Visnitz in Monsey.
All halls in all 3 tiers are booked solid for months.
Hoping you can use this info to make a simcha shortly.
