Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

Hello!

I am getting married at the Bourne Mansion in Oakdale and they do tented weddings and it would be exactly as you described....however they dont do outdoor ceremonies they only allow the ceremony inside the mansion....

The caterer is Lessing's @ Bourne and they would make the food for the entire event....I dont think you would have to pay for chairs/tables/dishes/flatware/stemware because they supply this for the wedding in the ballroom...

The only thing you would have to pay for is the lighting and floral arrangements...the tent would come with the hard wood floor....plus the mansion has bathrooms....As far as AC...the tent company provides this as well (and heat, weather depending) Try new york tent company....

It has a HUGE GINORMOUS lush green lawn that overlooks the Great South Bay...

This is def. a place that you should look into....go to www.lessings.com

HTHS!

I went to see the Bourne Mansion last Sept., it was my #1 choice, until we saw the bathroom sit. and went outside. The grass was yellow and dry, I asked them who was in charge of the lawn, he said that the school grounds crew was and they have little control of how it is maintained. But he did say they had been calling the crew to try to resolve the problem...

My fh owns a tent & party rental company...fm me with some details, and I can have him give you a ballpark on prices....

... There had to be enough room for a bar and a 'buffet'.

The cost was about 8000 with the liner. If you are having more than my 75 people, the cost will be even higher. That was without tables and chairs. That was BEFORE I asked them to put down flooring...

Wow! 8K for that amount of people is way more than I expected My family is really big so our guest list (draft) is around 200-250ppl!

I'll still call the NY Tent Co... is that who you contacted?

Thanks for posting... the info really helps

Yes, that helps a lot! I'm so glad to hear that they DO do tented receptions and would likely provide the things needed (chairs, etc.).

You make it sound so pretty! I can't wait to make an appointment with them! Let's hope it doesn't cost TOO much... but this all sounds really good!

Thanks a lot! I'll keep ya posted

...and LBride- thanks for the heads up about the lawn!

Iffy, you have FM

Thanks again ladies

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

I've always wanted a tented wedding!!!!
They are so beautiful but of course, it's way out of the BUDGET for us!!!!!

Leonard's is just as beautiful

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

Bree's weddiing is in a tent on Desperate Housewives!!! I love the liner and lights

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

I actually contacted them also. For the 30x60 Navi Trac and liner (only) it was 2700. That was without lighting or flooring or a dance floor. The dance floor was an additional 400. I believe lighting and safety was an additional 500. The floor was about 1800 more. So the total was around 5600. The 8000 quote was for a tent similar to their Anchor New Century.

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

Wow! Thanks a lot for the quotes! I spoke to FH about it and he's down but after begging him to do some research and to figure out his top 5 reception halls, he likes the Crescent Beach Club and Gurney's Inn the most!

That's fine with me... but when we both get back to NY, we'll visit our top 10 including Bourne to figure out finally what we wanna do

Thanks ladies! And if anyone has more tips feel free to post!

Try this place. It is in Montauk, looks along the lines of what you want.

I love it! I can't believe that I've never heard of this place! I love the whole '3 day wedding' thing! AND roundtrip tickets?! It kinda sounds too good to be true

I'm wondering now what their maximum # of guests is... I can't find the info on the site. Anyone have any clue?

I'll try to post the pics I liked from the site... for those interested in tents. I'm obsessed!

Thanks Kel

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

I don't have any advice or info, but WOW! Some of those tents are unbelievable!

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

I am pretty sure you will pay alot for a wedding like that because you have to supply everything. They are beautiful indeed.

Thats pretrty - but I'm sure a set up like that would be more expensive than a beautiful hall

---

I agree, it really beautiful but it may cost you a lot more.

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

It's not looking too good. I've contacted 4 halls about using their grounds and they either don't have the space for it or just don't allow it.

...I've still got my fingers crossed that I can find a venue.... and that it won't be too

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

WOW those are some pics! I think it is SO pretty, but I think it will be over your budget...too bad, it was a great idea...

Thanks
I haven't given up on the idea just yet though

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

I am getting married at Vanderbilt Mansion in Centerport. Not the one in Oakdale. There is a not a inside there only a tent. I would check it out because it is beautiful. There is no grass to walk on and if it rains the walk ways and everything can be teneted as well. It is more expensive though.

Re: I think I want a TENTED wedding! COME SEE THE PICTURES!

I totally looked into this b/c my dad has a huge flat backyard...
I needed:
200 person tent w/lining, lighting, heaters & generators
raised flooring
cocktail tent
tent over rented bathrooms incase it rained

I got an estimate from NY tent for $30,000 not including food!! My food estimates were around $40,000 from oven lovin which included all food and table & linen rentals and glasses and utensils.

I thought that for $70,000 before flowers, band, bathrooms, etc was WAY TOOO MUCH! But it sure would have been beautiful!
