Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

I plan on having a REALLY small wedding ...

REALLY small!

I don't think I will have even 100 guests because a good portion of my family lives out of state and Rob's family is pretty small. Most of the people attending will be just friends.

I have been really thinking about different venues and was wondering if there are any venues that are just TOO big. I don't want to have 80 - 100 people wandering around a giant hall. I mean we were at a wedding at Swan Club.. and it was BEAUTIFUL... but the room we were in was HUGE and I can't imagine what it would have looked like with a smaller number of people... probably pretty ridiculous!

So.. any halls I should just 'write off'?

Thanks!

alot of halls that do one weddings u can pretty much eliminate. i had the same problem and had to do a hall that does 2 weddings or more, and got the smaller room too...

have u looked at anything? look at the list of halls on liw.

Check out Stewart Manor Country Club. their minimum is only 100 people AND you're the only wedding! it's a nice place and it's not so huge you'll feel lost with only 100 people.

I went to a wedding at the meadow club in port jeff....it was a smaller wedding (we were actually only invited b/c so many poeople pulled out at the last minute and they had to meet a minimum) and we didn't feel lost in the room. They did have a buffett though and that was set up in one area, but worth taking a look at. And even with the smaller party, they still got the separate cocktail hour room!!!

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

I am having my wedding in the oak room of the jericho terrace with a minimum of 75, and i was told it only holds 100 so it is not big at all and it is away from the other rooms so you feel like it is a little private

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

i looked at atlantica, east wind, vineyard caterers, harrison house/glen cove mansion, and they were all able to accomodate a smaller wedding without the rooms feeling empty. good luck with your search!

fyi- we booked vineyard caterers, and i would rec to anyone who wants a smaller more intimate wedding

I have the same problem, look at westbury manor, Def. look at West Sayville CC its at lessings.com, they gave me 50 person minimum, and u didnt give them a final head count till the day b4 so if anyone backed out at last min. u don't have to pay for them!! Also look at fox hollow the winter garden room.. Also if your having a hard time meeting minimums, I noticed that fridays and sundays have lower and also sat afternoons.. hope it helps good luck!

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

Check out Westbury Manor.. My minimum is 95, but a co worker of mine is getting married there in August and has a 75 minimum

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

try milleridge. they have 2 separate bldgs. 1 for small parties and 1 for large.

ETA:
when we looked there, they told us their smaller bldg can have a maximum of 110 people comfortably

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

i second SMCC. we had about 150 and it felt intimate. they take such good care of you there

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

do Leonards of great neck, definately hold 100 and minimum they have smaller rooms that are gorgeous

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

We are getting married at the Old field club-they have NO MINIMUM!!! I highly recommend them. They have treated us perfectly.

This is a great link. This is a good start.

I booked the George Washington Manor. Several rooms to choose from for many size (up to 150 people).

Re: Spinoff to Minimum Count... kinda

check out larkfield manor in east northport, we are having a small wedding, around 80 or so guests. the rooms are not too huge that any of them would feel lost in, and they worked with us on a fair minimum they we knew we could probably meet. they had an awesome food tasting btw.

I booked the George also...we're having around 120 people so we're in the big room but they have smaller rooms that are just as gorgeous...it has a great homey feel to it
