how about bad experiences - has anyone been to a wedding and walked out with more criticism than complements?? We need to know!!

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

We booked the Stuart Manor Country Club for 4/14/07. It's a Saturday day wedding. 12:30 ceremony. 1/2 hour cocktail hour, reception until 5pm. It's $52.00pp and $40.00 for children under 12 and vendors. +tax +18% gratuity.

Hey Everyone!
This is my first post :)
I was wondering about a couple of places if any of you have went to visit yet or have been to a wedding there?
Could you share your review? Prices?


Jericho Terrace?
DeServersky?
I called DeSeversky and loved the place online, but they said the max capacity was something like 150 for the place and in order to do any more, you would need to do a mansion style wedding, which is not assigned seating.. Does anyone know anything about this?

Any other suggestions on LI, that are not too pricey but have that mansion-esque feel to it?

Thanks Ladies, Look forward to chatting more.

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

New here....but don't want to officially introduce myself until the actual proposal happens (it's happening soon but I'm a crazy pre-planner - watch, he'll keep me waiting even longer just to drive me crazy!). I actually feel so silly posting before it's official, but hell, we went ring shopping!

I have a few questions about prices...I'm in love with Chateau La Mer and Fox Hollow. What would you suppose I'd be quoted for a Friday night in mid-August? (No way can I afford a Sat night and I don't want a day wedding) From what I've seen so far on this thread, it should be around $85-something for Chateau...my eyes are too tired to keep looking for Fox Hollow hahaha so I hope you don't mind letting me know.

I'm thinking my minimum could be around 120...lucky us, small guest list! That would mean the smaller rooms...so I guess that's the upstairs room at CLM and the Winter Garden at FH. This might seem like a really naive question- any chance they'd price you less per person if you have a smaller wedding? HAHA!

I'm still trying to understand the + tax and gratuity thing. How do I figure that once I get price per person?

I appreciate your help!!

Hi Tara!

The above post is from my fabulous friend Tara!! If someone could answer her question that would be lovely!!

Welcome To LI/NYC Weddings honey!!!!

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

I cant help u with prices pp for those places but the taxes/gratuities work like this:

If it's $85pp and u have 120 that is $10,200
Now add 18% to that which would be $12,036
I think NYS tax is 8.65% so add that on and the total should come out to be $13,077

I think that's how it works or at least thats how i've been doing it. lol.

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

I'm a fox hollow bride. I think the more guests you have the better chance the price would be lowered, however i know the smaller room is less pp than the garden terrace room. We have over 175 so we booked the largest room, but i remember them saying the WGP was less pp.

Back when we booked in 2005, a Sunday in August 2006 was 85-90 pp (not incl. tax & grat) so i'm assuming for the smaller room you could knock 5-10 off that possibly. Their prices have gone up since, but negotiate as much as you can they will work with you, never take the first number they give you.

Sorry can't help you with CLM.

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Sunday, May 07

woodbury manor - 145/pp - BM here was VERY NICE, gave us fruit, water, food, sat us down in his office, showed us pics of his family, said he'll do whatever we want him to do...

JT - 75/pp but only b/c we're not doing a cocktail hour in a separate cocktail room and getting a garden menu; BM was helpful enough but still of course focused on the $$$. event planner is very helpful tho

will post more detailed reviews later!

Hey everyone-

This has post has been sooo helpful to me and FH.

I was wondering if anyone has seen Brentwood Country Club, we have an apt. with them this coming tuesday, if anyone could give me some insight to the place that would be great.

Also the FH and I are trying to stay in Suffolk, but are having a hard time finding a reception hall that doesnt require a min of a lot of ppl (we're having about 130-150) and isn't priced crazy. Let me know if you guys can think of places to help us out.

THANKS!!!!

I got quotes from Swan Club for '08 for $95 Sat, $85 Sun before holiday eve and $75 friday + $5 pp for vienese OR + $20pp for Platinum package which is much more extravagent and if you can swing it def. worth the $$$$, but I also heard that some people got quotes for $15 for the platinum.

I also just got quotes from Flowerfields for April $150 Sat, $120 Fri, May $180 Sat, $140 fri, June $190 Sat and $160 fri
All Fri 160 person guarantee
All Sat 185 person guarantee
