Hi ladies.... I havent been on here in a while b/c FH and I havent really been making any wedding plans we were trying to pay off our credit cards.... well we paid off a bunch of bills are now debt free (YAY) and have decided instead of having a big 200+ person wedding we want to keep it small and simple 75-80 people and not a 5 hr reception. We want more of like a nice lunch/dinner at a restaurant or if a catering place will allow us thats fine too.
Problem is i have called some places and they hear 'wedding' and i have to take their 5 hr wedding package and the price is like a sat night wedding at a reception hall, when all i really want is some drinks and a meal, I dont even need a cocktail hour.
Does anybody know where I can do this? We would prefer somewhere near bayshore b/c that is where we are getting married but I'll take ANY suggestions you might have. I'm about to lose it.....
TIA!

look into The Bulldog... its in Amittyville on merrick rd... my friend had her rehersal dinner there... the downstairs is a bar/restaurant but they have a cute upstairs private room that would fit about that many ppl in it
i would also call the Brentwood Country Club... thats where we got married - but they are SO SO SO overly accommodating & i think if you tell them your situation, they may be able to work something out for you!! they have ALL types of events there not just weddings so i think it would be totally worth it to give them a call!!
HTH good luck!

try just calling it a party.....b/c it IS! when you show up in your wedding dress you'll have already signed a contract......you can call it a graduation party, or a birthday party....that doesnt go into the contract....or even an anniversary party......they lie to us that b/c its a wedding it needs to be more money, lie to them instead!

I checked out the miller beach surf club website and they have some buffets that will cost 43 bucks a head if you do beer, wine and soda. They have other packages available as well.

I would look at a restaurant instead of a reception hall.

It's far from Bayshore, but check out Caffe on the Green in Bayside, Queens...very elegant and pretty reception area above the dining area. They have three types of menu packages to choose from, and their prices vary according to the season rather than the type of party it is.
