hmm, I don't know if anyone knows, but I had my wedding at a very cheap hall, and that was even about $3,000-$5,000 more than what you are looking for.

I don't know about on long island, and I didn't really look anywhere else. I hope you can find something, sorry I can't help more.

I don't know specifics either but I think it will be very hard to find that for a summer wedding. That is peak wedding season and has the highest costs.

Hi, I'm getting married at OFC but I don't think it's possible to get married there w/150ppl for $6,000. I think it would be more than double that at least. You can FM me if you have more questions.

I don't think in the summer. I am having my wedding there in March - one of the cheapest months and the same amount of people on a Sunday (the cheapest day besides thurs) and mine is more than double that.

hmmmm......i dont know of any place that would be able to do it for that price and that many people, even on a monday night.
perhaps if you shaved down the guest list, to maybe 75, or less and still did it on an off night, in smaller room at a RH.

I would look into like Brentwood Country Club or Manor East - I know they have packages - maybe if you have them take out the flowers and dj and photo they can drop down to that amount?

I agree. It's going to be hard to find those prices in long island during that time of year. Maybe you can focus on renting a room instead of an actual hall. Renting a room is usually less expensive than the hall b/c it has less frills and you are responsible for food and decorations. You can try Rigatti Terrace in Queens. I think they were quoted at about $55. I am not sure if they have the decor you are looking for but it is pretty budget friendly.

So you are looking about $40 pp? That will be pretty hard in LI and an outdoor setting. If you are willing to come into Queens you will be able to find a RH in that price range. You can try Riccardos by the bridge, Astoria Manor, Brunos on the Boulevard. But they dont have an outdoor setting.

That's $40 pp and I think it will be impossible to find...especially with an open bar. Giorgio's has a Sunday brunch for around $55 plus tax and gratuity...not sure if it includes open bar though

I think villa lombardis will cut you a deal of $50 per person

Oh and one last thing I just realized, I don't think the Old Field Club does weddings on Thursday night b/c that's their member night (I think). You should call Tom (the BM) and ask him, but I'm pretty sure. They only do Fri, Sat & Sun I believe, and even for their cheaper nights it's almost 3x the amount per person that you're looking to spend, but the view & food is amazing!! Maybe you can cut somewhere else in the budget?
