Help - looking for reception hall for a friend for April '05 for $65pp

It depends on what kind of a hall you are looking for. Personally I hate the standard catering hall look. I would rather a country club feel. The Riviera is absolutely perfect for that but when I went to see them the other day they wanted $100.00 a plate.. I was looking for a fall wedding but I asked when their prices fall within the $65 -$75 range and was told January was the only off month they have.

I also saw the Stewart Manor Country club and although not as beautiful (in my opinion) it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend checking them out. Their prices were great $65-$80 before tax and tip.

Thatched Cottage in Centerport ranges in price, but you might get it @65 per person, depending on the time of year/season

i think you are thinking of the polish american hall in riverhead - they have good prices -
i am having it at miller place inn 70 pp but they have a minimum of 125 - they may work with you on a friday or sunday - call and talk to luanne she is the banquet manager

My cousin just booked The Thatched Cottage in Centerport for summer 2004 for $60pp. He said they just dropped the price- it looks pretty...I heard the room is nice and it looks great for pics.

I don't know if she is set on Suffolk, but the Milleridge Carrige House in Jerricho is reasonable, they have different packages, and the middle package is not skimpy at all, and in the $60s/per person (before take & gratuity)depending on the night.
Minimum 75 people, maximum 130.
