Frustrating hall search

This hall search is too frustrating. I can't find a hall I like that would allow me to use outside catering...and that fits in my price range. It's SOO limiting!!!!!

Metropolitan is out..they wouldn't work with my food options.

Yeah I know how you feel....you'll find a hall soon that will fit your wants and needs. It takes time and patience, but I know you will!

What is your price range pp and how many people are you looking at?

http://www.weddingsitesandservices.com/FacilityList.cfm/RegionID/24

check out this site. It should show costs and whether or not they allow outside caterers. Hope it helps

Did you look at any of the vineyards?
I know some allow outside caterers.

And there was just a review on the Brides review board about a Bride's DIY Wedding at the Smithtown Brush Barn. It was BEAUTIFUL, and she brought in her own caterer.

About 150 people. I'd rather not spend more than $100 per person (that's including the outside catering pp charge). Generally the halls that do allow outside catering reduce their normal pp charge to account for the food.

I think my real issue is that I've been to a million family weddings at those few halls that do allow the outside catering..and I'm really trying to find something unique, but affordable.

I think I'll buy the sites books from B&N.

Thanks!

it takes time, but trust me when you find the right one you'll know, hang in there, we're all rooting for you!!

I suggest you & FH go out & but Wedding sites & services magazine(it's like $5.00) They have a free website, but well not to be gross bu I know FH will not go online to search (and our comp at home is a nightmare) i PUT IT IN THE bATHROOM IN OUR MAGAZINE BASKET he's coming up to me like let's look here let's look there

thanks for asking!!

no..now I'm looking into Jersey.

The guy from Bourne mansion is really nice though, he emailed me recently and seems to be able to work with my crazy mixed food needs. I'm going to make an appt to see Bourne after finals!

I had this problem also. I just went ahead and booked a VFW, my moms interior decorator will do the decor as per myself, and my uncle will cater. So that way I will have everything I want w/ less exspenses
