Just got off the phone with the woman from great neck inn http://www.innatgreatneck.com/
Total amount of rooms the hotel has: 85 rooms
this is for 10/3/09 which is high season Discounted Rates: Regular room $205 plus tax which comes out to 229 Junior suite 259 plus tax Master suite with LR, BR, Bath 289 plus tax
Valet parking: 12 dollars a night
If I want to guarantee the blocked off rooms at that rate I need to sign a contract that says I will be responsible for 75% of the total number of reserved rooms. If I need to cancel entirely or change our guaranteed # the cushion date is 2 months prior to actual date. If I need to change the amount of rooms I have up to 1 month prior to the date.
If I want to extend the bar hours past 11pm it would cost me $500 ($200 would be the tip to the bartender 300 would go to credit behind bar then turns into cash bar)

Re: Great Neck Inn
This would be a good place to book the suite for the wedding night! That's a great price!

Re: Great Neck Inn
I feel like that's kind of pricey. Are there any other hotels in the area? That seems like a lot per night to ask people to spend. Are you going to recommend a few other hotels in the invitation?

Re: Great Neck Inn
That seems like alot for guests to me as well, but the guarantee is what gets me. Out of the 10 hotels that I called only two required a guarantee and I told them both to forget it because the selection was big enough and the price ranges wide enough that they weren't necessary. Try the larger hotlels (Marriott, Garden City Hotel, Fairfield Inn, Holiday Inn, etc.) the rates are lower and they don't require any guarantee (and the hotel bars are open later . . . .)
