Help me find a hall PLEASE

Let me start by saying we love the Bourne mansion. My father has offered to pay for the whole shabang, but we want to pay at least half. I don't think it's fair to make my dad pay for everything when it is our day. The bourne has a $4000 site fee (this wouldn't be bad if it was tax deductible) but I can't see paying for their grounds fees. The price is $115 pp-Sundays sept through nov or $119 pp-sat sept through nov.
More than we would like to spend because we are looking for a house.
We looked at Timberpoint CC-not our taste-but inexpensive-$63pp-sat day
Westbury manor-love the room, don't like where we would be getting married, would have to go to church or somewhere else.-$80-sunday
Larkfield manor-Love the room, but my mom got married there 2 yrs ago and I kinda wanted our own place.-$68-Sunday (b/c my mom got married there).
Carlyle on the green-beautiful-more than we would like to spend-$135 Sunday day.
North ritz club-pretty-don't like where we would be getting married-not many photo ops.-day $80, night-$135
Woodbury CC-Very pretty-didn't have many dates we wanted and more than one wedding at a time.-$80-sunday pm
Leonards of great neck-Very reasonably priced-$59-am, $63-pm-not many photo ops-pics somewhere else drag.
Watermill-$80-sunday am, $99 fri pm-very pretty, people were rude, didn't like that we could hear the cars rushing by (during ceremony).
Now, I know I'm probab;y just being a picky bi*&%, but I've had this stupid vision in my head since I was a little girl, we love nature and trees-my brother is getting married four months before us and he is doing the beach theme. We wanted a beautiful autumn theme , by a lake or something similar. Our ideal is mansions-they just take my breath away-but we have 220 people on the list and are figuring we'll end up with 150-180. With this many people we would have to separate dinner and dancing and I don't know if I can do that. Everyone seems to think it's really odd.
PS-I am not trying to offend anyone these are just our opinions.

I'm not trying to be cheap-my dad says-pick whatever you want, mom says go cheap-it's only five hours. My fiance just wants to find a place-I think I'm driving him nuts. Girls any help you can give would be immensely appreciated. Thank you Thankyou Thank you

What about having the reception cheap and taking pictures at the Vanderbilt mansion in Centerport?

Or look into other places. I've heard of coindre hall, but don;t know the price. Good luck!

I never had the opportunity to look at this place, but check out Windows on the Lake in Lake Ronkonkama, since you said you wanted something on the lake. good luck!

They are a lot of places you could still look. Do you really want suffolk or would nassau be ok?

Thank you girls for your quick responses-I will definetly check out green tree and windows on the lake. I also love the idea of doing the reception somewhere inexpensive and taking pics somewhere else. You guys are great and I will keep you posted.

Check out the Royalton Mansion in Roslyn. It has a really homey feel to it.

Re: Help me find a hall PLEASE

I will check out all of your places. Thank you ladies. I just looked at green tree cc -it's beautiful but if possible I would like to stay on LI or not too far off of LI-it's difficult for some of my family to travel too far.--But thank you-I really appreciate your help-ALL OF YOU!

Now I don't know the prices of these places but maybe check out the Vanderbilt Mansion in Oakdale, DeSeversky Mansion in Westbury, Woodlands in Woodburdy and what about Eastwind? There's also the Harrison House in Glen Cove but I think that's pretty pricey.

Re: Help me find a hall PLEASE

Deseversky is super $$, Vanderbilt at dowling is really our #1-but it's way too small, Woodlands is also $$$. But I really didn't even think about east wind-I will check them out. Thanks. Lindsey

Village Club of Lake Success...I don't really know much about it but I think it has a great view of a lake, trees and all that stuff.
Good Luck!

Check out the East Wind... They have the Inn, The Estate or The Country Gardens. They are all great there and reasonably priced there are great ceremony sites and there are alot of great pic spots as well.

I agree with the East Wind or the Swan Club

Try bellport country club. Very nice package I was being kinda of cheap at first but is my day and same here my dad offered to pay all but we said half. Bellport country club 90 for sunday and 110 for sat evening. FM me if you need more info. Also sunset harbour I hear is very reasonable.
