There is a new one opening up right off the bridge The Vanderbilt, it is right on the water..looks amazing
The Excelsior is very nice
Grand Plaza is nice and affordable
Nansen's Park, it is affordable and great quality
Old Bermuda inn is a good choice, heard mix reviews on the food.
The Staaten is nice and sometimes a great value
My friend is getting married in 2006 and she went to check out the vanderbilt (offices located in the grand plaza) and was quoted 130 pp for a friday night, she said it was gorgeous though.
My brother got married at the excelsior grand and it was great. Food was incredible, service was great, only thing is that there is another wedding going on at the same time and your guests and the other guests will be intermingling.
Grand Plaza is where I had my e-party. Its small but beautiful. The food was great and the service too, we went there recently to inquire about a baptisim party for our son and they changed owners and we werent impressed with the new menu, one of my friends is getting married there on 3/5/05 so I'll have more of an informed opinon then.
Nansens lodge, is just that a lodge. My public school used to have its field day there, I guess I'm just being predijuced (sp?). Dont think its the kind of venue for a wedding, maybe a shower.
Old Bermuda Inn....very pretty, food is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!
Staaten is ok, havent been there in years, but from what I remember it was good.
Mandalay, not much from the outside but pretty inside, food is good
The Crystal room, my friend had her e-party there, nice interior, food was very good
Araiana's catering- Though kinda small, the food is great! The owner will work with your friend and throw in a lot of extras. A friend had her hubby's surprise 30th bday party there and the food was just incredible. We have our son's baptisim party coming up there in April and the owner gave us a great price, open bar, mini vienesse hour etc all included. Depending on how many people she intends on inviting, it would be worth checking out.
South Shore Country Club: Not much from the outside but very pretty inside. Went there recently inquring about the baptisim party and was informed about the cosmetic changes they are going through. Very pretty rooms, right on golf course, food is good too and prices werent to bad.
There are also some halls I havent been to:
Island Chateau
Renassiance (owned by the same people who own Excelsior Grand)
