Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

I need some help! I just got engaged and am looking to get married this fall. I really want to get married on the beach and love what I see online from The Crescent Beach Club. I have only talked to them on the phone so far but they really didn't want to take a wedding for 100 people. Seems like this might be a problem becuase it seems like they are increasing the price per person to make up for the low numbers.
Does anyone have any ideas for a nice affordable place to have a small wedding?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

Congrats on your engagement.. I know it's not beachy but Westbury Manor can accomodate a smaller wedding..

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Yea! Most helpful... I guess I really am a newbie! Thanks for the tip.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

You can try Sans Souci. They an accomodate a small wedding. My minimum for a Sat. night was 125. The are right across the street from a beach and they are on a cliff over looking the water.

The Georges Washington Manor in Roslyn can accomodate you. It is by the water.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

the metropolitan club., its nice there...my sis is having 100 pp.....they accomadate smaller parties.....let me know

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

you could try East Wind. I may be wrong, but I think the Country Gardens can accomodate a smaller wedding. It's not on the water, but it's close enough to the beach to get pictures taken there beforehand! that's what I'm doing. And their prices are reasonable!

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Congrats on the engagement! There are a number of places on LI that cater to small wedddings - my reception hall is one of them - Brentwood Country Club. I'm inviting no more than 150 people to mine and I have to guarantee 100. My hall also offers a package which may help you if you want to get married this year - it will save you on having to shop around for vendors! FM me if you want some more info! I'm happy to help!

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Its not on the beach, but its on the water....try Danford's. They specialize in small weddings.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

with 100 or less, you may be able to get the party room of a waterfront restaurant. Or, you may be ablet ot get a permit to get married on the beach, and then have the reception nearby.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Snapper Inn
Three Village Inn

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Im using Timber Point.. its gorg. and min 100 people..

(also west sayville cc has waterfront i think)
FM me if you want more info..

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

My hall offers packages for 100 people. It is not on a beach though...Ariana Waterfall in W. Hempstead. It only accommodates one wedding at a time and its really affordable (I got engaged in November and I am getting married next Friday!) They are really helpful.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Congrats and welcome to LIWeddings

we are having a small wedding at the Three Villlage Inn
I would def ck them out. It is a very elegant place and its nice because you can go back for your anniversary every year for dinner.
There min is 90...you will not find that at many places

good luck and let us know the out come

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Congrats! You may wan to try the Swan Club or Smithtown Landing. I've been to small weddings there and they were great!

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

I know that Chatea La Mer has a smaller room upstairs if you wanted to look into that.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Congrats! I am getting married at the Oldfield Club. It is a smaller quaint place and they don't penalize you for smaller weddings. I know someone who is getting married there that plans to have around 75 people. I will probably have around 125. The place is beautiful with great food. Check it out. I also liked Crescent Beach but they were hitting me hard on the price b/c they didn't want to do a smaller wedding....Good luck

If you want to stay in the Bayville area, there is Steves Pier and Sail harbor which are on the other end of the Crescent, same side of the water just down a little further. ALso, you can check out the Atlantis Marine Aquarium, they do weddings.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

My Crescent wedding will have a minimum of 125 people... and if I have 150, the price goes down by $5 pp.

It's my DREAM place... if you really love it, see if they'll work with you. I was going to look somewhere else, but my FH told me that if I don't have it there and don't have the wedding of my dreams, I'll always regret it. Keep trying... don't compromise if you really want The Crescent.

Re: Looking for a place to have a small wedding any ideas?

Try Fox Hollow...its not beachy but they have a beautiful smaller room that can accomodate around 100 people.
