Leonards is one of my options, it looks beautiful. Im also looking at Terrace on the Park and the Hyatt in Jersey City.

Jersey City Hyatt is very expensive, we looked there.....and def. not all inclusive. But it is beautiful and the view is gorgeous.

Hi,

I'm from the Bronx but getting married at Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle. Alot of these venues are in the $100 per person range and up, but if you change to a sunday instead of a saturday night or shorten the reception to 4hrs instead of 5 or take out items like a sushi bar or carving station and just keep the basic 3 option dinner you maybe able to cut costs.

Other Halls we visited
Antun's Westchester
Arianna Waterfall
The Coral House
Douglaston Manor
The Davenport Club
Villa Barone (Bronx)
Maestro's (Bronx)

Hope this helps

Cafe on the Green in Bayside is really nice

Verdis of Whitestone is good

Brentwood country club (in LI) is all inclusive for 10k.... So is the Holiday Inn Plainview

Ariana Waterfall also has all inclusive packages

The food at Caffe on the Green is great!!! Definitely had been my top choice before deciding on Westbury Manor.
I know Douglaston Manor does some sort of an all-inclusive package deal with Ariana Studios.

Hi, I totally understand about being on a budget. I am having the wedding I want & still finding ways to cut the cost. If you want to cut the cost & get married in the off season look into the months from January to about March. I wanted a Fall wedding & Russo's on the bay. After looking at many different reception halls I realized how much I loved Russo's & decided to comprimise the season instead of the place I really wanted. If you need help with anything FM me. I have found some great vendors who are also working with my budget.
