Hempstead House, Sands Point HELP!

Please Help! This place looks amazing! I love the feeling of Oheka castle however was shot down when I realized how expensive it was. I have been doing some research online about Hempstead house and my Fiance and I love the old castle look (He is a history buff))! This would be perfect for us! There is not much information or reviews of it. Does anyone know how many people this place would accommodate? I am thinking I will have about 250 or under. 'My Fair Wedding' Episode Jennifer Coppola was married there and it did not look like alot of people. I am only just starting to plan.. I have about 1 1/2 years before I want get married but my heart is already set on this... I basically know that you rent it empty and need to get a party planner or be very organized to bring everything in yourself. Does this generally make it more expensive then a regular catering hall? Did anyone get married there or have any photos of the inside?

Thanks!!

I know Philip Stone caters there, not sure if it's exclusive. They have pics on their site. It's beautiful but it's very pricey since everything is al la carte and you have to pay a site fee. The catering alone starts around $200 pp I believe.

Wow Thanks! Best pics I have seen so far!

$200 still a bit pricey but they look amazing!

I only know of Lessings & Philip Stone that work out of there...

I know their site fee is huge (like 8 - 10K) on top of the per person price for food and everything they have to bring in... FBIL (who works for Philip Stone) says it can run at 200 - 250 pp...
