Re: Engagement Party
We already had ours on August 21st and we had about 150 ppl there. FM if you need sugguestions for Nassau County
Thanks everyone...I was thinking about looking at a Knights of Columbus hall...but not sure where to start. Do they have a website?
As for where I am looking - probably a restaurant with a private area or even a decent bar...nothing too extravagant! Plus, we are looking at Feb/Mar, so the outdoor thing won't fly in the cold weather :O(

I had mine at Villa Umbertos in Elmont. The food was amazing and had about 80 people. It was reasonably priced.

Re: Engagement Party
My mother is planning it.. She said I cant help since I already have so much say over the wedding lol.. Mine will be in Jan.
If you want to save money maybe do a cocktail party with passed food.
Sorry everyone...I was sick and the away on vacation....but thanks for all the input.
I am trying to find a place for under or around $20 per person and than probably just run a tab at the bar. There is a local place that I am probably just going to go to. It's a bar, which is great b/c I didn't want to do a sit down thing anyway, but we are always there and I guess I was just trying to look for something slightly nicer, if you know what I mean!

I had mine at Elks Lodge, 2162 Veterans Boulevard in Massapequa NY. Buffet, beer, wine, soda for under $25 pp. All other drinks the guest paid for. I had 105 guest, they will set up as low as 50 and as high as 200. I had a dj, cake and favors. I have pics in my album. FM for questions.

If your in Nassau county, I had mine in Oyster Bay at the Homestead, Great food!!! Best party i ever had. 100 quests.
I just checked out The Homestead's site and the prices arevwhat I have been seeing but still a little on the pricey side for us at the moment! But thanks for the recommendation...i have added it to my list of possibilities!
