Hi ladies, A lot has changed since I have been here...

Everyone is suggesting halls around your price range, but there are many below that as well. You can also probably have a little bargaining power if they have a date available since it's kind of 'last minute' in terms of planning.
Honestly, what you need to do is pick up the phone and start calling any and all halls you may be interested in a see if they have any dates available. Unfortunately the date is going to be more of a deciding factor at this point than price or location. Good luck on the search, let us know how it tunrs out!

We are no longer holding our reception at Russo's anymore because of a certain issue that came up after we attended a friends wedding. Now we are looking for a hall, We are open day in August or July 05. Please help ladies, we are willing to spend up to 200 per person

I am not sure why you would cancel your weddign at Russo's..but you shoul checkout the Floral Terrace........The food is amazing!!!

How about Vanderbilt Mansion in Oakdale or any of the 'Lovi'nOven Celebrations' other places - The place is amazing and beautiful!! I feel like they have a place for every style.....Flowerfields is beautiful - my friend went to a wedding there and fell in love with the place, now she is getting married there.........Land's End was the first place I found and instantly fell in love with the place and knew this was the place I wanted to have my reception until I found out I would not be able to garauntee the amount of people for any day - (a friend of mine went to a wedding at Land's End and said it was the best wedding she has ever been too - she's 50 yrs. old and has been to MANY weddings in her years) that's how I found out about the Vanderbilt Mansion and ABSOLUTELY LOVED the mansion the first time I went there (more than Land's End) - I knew it was the place and didn't bother looking anywhere else...........they have another place I think called West Lake Inn but I have no idea where it is or anything about it and I am almost positive they used to do the catering for 200 fifth club but not anymore - they cater for Apogee Event’s Tribeca in Manhattan.......and of course their baked goods and cakes come from Audrey's Bakery! I have only readabout one bride on here who was not 100% satisfied with her cake....overall JMO, they deserve a grade of A!!!!!

But, it doesn't matter what I say you have to visit places and see what you like! Every bride is different as we can see on this great board - but as reputation goes I believe Lovi'nOven has an amazing one.

Good Luck on your search! Hope you find something soon
