Re: Hey guys....I really need some help

Well,

Yesterday...I went to Westbury Manor, Sand Castle and Swan Club.....they gave me really good prices for the Tuesday after Labor Day. The range was from $55-$65...those prices were fine....At westbury manor when I inquired about Nov 11...which is a saturday the cost was $120.00 pp.... and that is for the same menu that they would have given on a tuesday.....

What to do?

We have Fox Hollow for $89 including tax/grat for a Sunday Night in April.

The reason the price doubled at WM was b/c it's a Saturday.

I would honestly steer clear of a Tuesday.

Thanks for the honesty....

I will definitely look into April...but maybe I should stay clear from the Easter holiday.....that may hike up the cost pp...

Q



Easter weekend, particularly good friday is cheaper... obvious there are religious observances but if that doesn't hinder you, it may be an affordable option.

You may be better off with a winter Friday night...even late Feb or early March.

Re: Hey guys....I really need some help

how was your friend able to get 70 pp including tax and gratituties.....most places told me a set price let's say 60.00 then an additional 18% gratituity and 8.62 or 8.25 for the sales tax......

Am I being robbed?

Re: Hey guys....I really need some help

Check out Coral House.

Stick to an off month and a weekend date. You want your guests to be able to come - don't do a weeknight or a holiday, like Easter....
