Newly engaged and hoping for help...

Like many other recently engaged brides my fiance and I are paying for the wedding AND we are in the process of selling our co-op and buying a house (so we are tight on wedding budget as a house is our top priority). We were thinking of either April or November 2018 for about 150-175 guests. Hoping to find out some quotes and opinions for the following venues:

1. Riviera at Massapequa
2. Coral House
3. Chateau la Mer
4. Smithtown Landing
5. Brentwood Country Club
6. Larkfield Manor

If anyone knows of any other places that are nice AND affordable (if thats possible lol) I am definitely open to suggestions.

Thanks for all of your help!!!

I loved the Riviera! Great food and only one wedding at a time.

RE:Newly engaged and hoping for help...

I got pricing on both Cheateau La Mer and Rivieria. Chateau La Mer was the cheaper of the two, not by much at all, but aside from the main ballroom, it gave me a funeral home vibe.

We ended up booking at Riviera, but ultimately changing venues. I was not crazy about the food at the tasting, I mean it wasn't horrible but I thought it could have been better. I doubt you will be able to get anything there for April 2018, because when I went to book in February, they only had one day left. Good luck. xoxo
