Sorry, I do not know yet. Someone said we should not do a RD because our wedding is not formal (we are getting married at RH) I found that to be rude. We are only planning a simple dinner with our families/BP - Probrobly a BBQ at my moms.

Re: how much is it costing for RD?
you need to decide how many people will be attending and do some research.
the best prices I have seen without alcohol are 20 - 25$ a person. Usually 8-10$ more to add alcohol.
However, some RD are 50-60$ a person depending on location.

thats what i was afraid of - apparently it looks like there will be like 50 people (huge bridal party)
and we are all drinkers...... another thing to add to the budget

If you have a family member willing to have that many people you can have it catered and save a lot of money!
If the weather permits you can also have it in a park on a gorgeous day!

Re: how much is it costing for RD?
Hmm...well the library cafe in Farmingdale was a solid option but we're having like 55 people so we can't- it only holds 45
I think they were $28.95pp b/w/s incl. ++tax & grat.
Someone told me hemingways in Wantagh was a good option but i think they were 35pp
