okay wedding planners...a new task

i need your help but with another type of party....a graduation party! I want to throw a surprise graduation party for the hubs once he completes the academy.

i am looking to rent out a place or even have it somewhere that will allow me to have a DJ and alcohol.

how do i contact fire houses? do i have to know someone to rent it out? or can i pay $ for like a VFW hall or something???


thanks girls i know i can rely on you

Where are you located?

Definitely try the Fire Houses, VFWs are also good but they require you to use their alcohol.

Ahh sorry I'm no help in Suffolk. My mom called a lot of places like this for my shower.

I'd do a little google searching before I just started calling random fire houses.

Also, check out places like the New York City Irish Center which is where I had my shower. That particular one is in LIC, but I know my cousin had her daughter's Christening at an Irish American Center in Nassau.

i know the firehouse my dad volunteers at does rent out the room/bar they have, but i beleive you have to be a member or family of a member to actually be able to rent it, not sure if all of the fh' s are the same! that is worth a shot!

but def if not that then a vfw hall def lets you have a dj and bring your own booze.

trying to think what else...

what if you even have it at a local bar, might be just as much money to do an open bar for a number of house as it would to buy all your own booze...and some places you can include appetizers
