SCRAPPING WEDDING PLANS - Need info on Brentwood Country Club & other all inclusive wedding packages (photo/video, DJ, limos, flowers, invites, cake)

Hi ladies,

After looking at a lot of halls and then running the numbers, we nearly decided to just elope.

As a lot of you know, I almost booked Jericho Terrace but the expense of it all and some posts on the newlywed board stopped me in my tracks. We agreed to scrap the initial wedding plans but I realized that I really do want a wedding. I just can't bring myself to elope or to spend $20K - $25K.

So, my proposed solution is an all inclusive wedding package. Now my task is to get all the info for any such halls in the area.

Can anyone tell me more about Brentwood Country Club??? I know it's in Suffolk and we had previously limited ourselves to Nassau County since we live in Brooklyn. But I am one to travel for a good deal.

I know Brentwood has a package for $8995 + 18% (ETA: 15%) service charge (for off season) for 100 guests including photo/video, all flowers, DJ, limos, invites, cocktail hour & reception.

I understand that BCC credits like $700 - $1,000 if there photo/video is not used but that is definitely not enough to use anyone else - OR IS IT? Any photo/video packages for $1,000 - $1,500?

Thanks much

The package at BCC is $8995.00 for 100 people plus 15% service and sales tax. although the price is mainly for off-season such as Jan, Feb, Dec. You can also find a date or so throughout the year for that price. I.E. Sundays

And I also know that if you don't use one of their vendors they give you credit.

Good Luck!!!!

Douglaston Manor has an all inclusive package too.

I dont understand - are you eloping or not!?!?! You are so lucky to have sat down and thought this through either way. I wish I did!

My sis got married there in Dec. '00, and it was wonderful. FM me if you want anymore details. The DJ they had was great. I wonder if the place still uses them.

You ladies are AWESOME!!!!

FI is fine with eloping in Hawaii but I just can't do it. I would not feel right if my family is not there - at least mom, dad, sis, bro, grandma, best friend of 25 years and 2 favorite uncles. One uncle does not fly and my mom says Hawaii is expensive and a 13 hour flight with a layover (from Virginia) so she is not feeling that idea either.

I had Mexico in mind (Royal Hideaway) but again (uncle that does not fly - military thing from Vietnam I think) and FI's brother complained so much about the price and travel involved that FI gave in. We priced it at $1500 pp for Royal Hideaway - which we absolutely loved when we visited this year (my second trip to the resort).

FI did not like Ariana Waterfall (on the web site since we did not visit). I will try to get him to at least visit the place as well as Brentwood Country Club, Med Manor, Douglaston Manor and Holbrook Country Club. From what I gather, they all have all inclusive packages for about $10,000 for 100 people.

Thanks ladies.

I believe the Holiday Inn in Plainview also has an all-inclusive package. That's Nassau so that's closer to you.

CHECK OUT HOLBROOK COUNTRY CLUB

THEY HAVE A SEP PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES PHOTO/VIDEO/DJ/LIMO

My parents' friends' son got married at BCC in January '00 or '01 (I don't recall which). They did the all-inclusive package so they didn't have to spend time worrying about details.

My parents said it was nice -- not fancy, but they didn't have anything negative to say about it.

I'm so proud of you for being real about finances! If my FH and I didn't have such large families, I'd consider a package, too. It kills me that this one day (albiet a special day) will cost more than my car.

good luck and please keep us posted!

Oh my God! Is this place is a bad neighborhood? I'm not concerned since I have lived in Brooklyn long enough to handle most situaitons but my family will be traveling from VA and they are not used to NY at all.

Should I be worried?
