Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

IF I pick one!! You guys will be one of the first to know!!!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

Seriously though...I never thought I was going to find 'the place,' but you will. Promise!!

What are you looking for? Maybe I can help ya - given all of my hunting across Long Island, NYC, Westchester and upstate!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

Waterview, or expansive grounds, one wedding at a time...... I feel like I've been everywhere too... Even venues that are out of our budget b/c I would consider changing the date if I fell in love with a place and we couldn't afford it.
My poor FH.... He's such a doll. He's been everywhere with me.

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

All I know is that I got CLM for $80 on a Friday night in Oct. I'm not sure of the other nights and I saw that someone already posted the $$ for the peak-season.

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

if u want waterview definitely check out CLM but i'm getting married there on 6/21/08, also a few others lands end is suppose to be gorgeous- i would've booked there but its too far for me, woodland is really nice too- i think it overlooks a golf course- are u looking fir a day or evening? how many people are u inviting?

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

I know I wanted to look at CLM too! Sometimes I don't know if this place is a burden (kidding of course), my poor FH - I keep telling him 'my date triplets are going to get everything I want, let's HURRY'. He's like 'it's two years away!'. Men just don't understand!!

Sat Evening, and 175 - 200 pp. I really don't want to spend more than $150 pp.... If I fall in love with a place - I will change my date but not day... I can't wait for this weekend!!!! I hope I book something. I just started school again and I wanted to book before classes started! I'm hyperventilating just thinking about it.



I'm so dramatic. Geez!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

I hear ya!

Where are you looking this weekend? Lands End..., where else?

i would say check out the Old Field CLub (our venue), but they hold max of about 150 ppl. ...And you'd have to change your date, since they only do 1 wedding at a time.

Have you considered Montauk? I know its far, but it could be a fun idea for your guests. They could make a weekend out of it!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

The CLM is gorgeous and food is great. The price per plate was good too.

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

yeah i have to say at CLM its very reasonable price per plate even if u do a peek month & its gorgeous there

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

bump for more pricing.

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

anybody have quotes for riviera, thatched cottage, woodbury country club, north ritz club, watermill---for sept/oct of 2008 on a sunday night

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

I don't have quotes for your time of year BUT I did visit North Ritz Club for a Sat. evening in May and it was $145/pp. It is very beautiful there but just not for me! Riviera (also for a Sat. evenint in May) quoted me $100/pp. It's very nice there but they don't recommend having any more than 200 people there. And honestly I think even trying to squeeze 200 people in there is too much. Woodbury country club quoted me $120 (Sat. evening in May). I think they are overpriced for what they offer honestly, too many parties going on at one time.

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

OK, completely fell in love with Lands End!!!!!!

I am going to try and negotiate on the price... Any tips??? Like, can I go in and say 'If you give it to me for x amount a head with another cocktail sta thrown in, I'll give you 1/2 the cost right now....' ???

Help!!! I love it but it's over my budget!!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

yeah i would've loved to book at lands end but its way too far for me & my guests- oh well. so are you going to book there- what was their price?

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

OK, so apparently I don't know what the heck a budget is!!! Or if I do, I ignore it like I ignore my redheaded stepchild.

Soooooooooo, FH and I looked at 4 places this weekend. Hahahahahaha. What a joke. I'll put them in order from least expensive to most...
(All for a sat night in June)

The Woodlands - $170 pp, 150 min
Lands End - $175 pp, 175 min
Carlyle on the Green - $195 pp, 200 person min

AND..........drumroll please.............

Carltun in the Park - $235 pp, 175 min!!!!

Note to self: Self, if you get invited to a wedding at Carltun, do not go. You wouldn't be able to give a nice enough gift.

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

Well, maybe you can cut costs in other places...? DJ, flowers....?

What do you think you're going to do?

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

Um, elope? JK. I'm checking out Lombardi's on the Sound on Sat and that's it. Then I'm just going to narrow it down I guess and pick.

And I'm totally going budget on everything else, except for photog....

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

You will LOVE Lombardis.

If we didnt book at OFC, we were booking at Lombardis. TONS of food and only $129.95/person for Sat night (150 person min).

The views are amazing!! Hey, and now that date is open since we didnt book there!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

NO WAY!!! $130 pp!!!!!! You just made my day!!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Re: Reception Hall Price Quotes for 08

YAY!

I'm glad! Good luck this weekend.

Do you know who you're meeting with? I met with Sari twice. We were supposed to sign our contract last weekend, but cancelled because we found the OFC! So she probably isn't a big fan of me!

But, hey, she might wind up booking that date anyway!!!!

They have a bridal exhibit on Sept. 14th so you can try their food. Definitely sign up for it.
