I am a Newbie to LIW

Hello ladies! I am recently engaged (5 days) Been dreaming of this for so long and I thought I would be so organized and I have no idea where to start! The only thing I know is that we want to get married next summer! So, I am praying that my fellow brides will help!

Is there any place I can go to get some prices for catering halls? I don't want to have to go to each of them.

Thanks!!

Lisa

congrats on your engagement.
Are there any particular reception halls you like? That way people who have visited them can give you what they were quoted

Thanks!!!

Well, the one place that I really want is Leonard's of Great Neck. But just not sure if it will be in our budget. I want a Saturday wedding. Wow am I turning into a bridezilla already? All I can see is I want I want!!!

I would make a post asking for specific quotes to leonards and any other places you might be interested in. The only place I have prices for is Floral Terrace.

Also just so you know if you have your heart set on a place but think the price is too high you might want to consider a friday night or sunday wedding or another time of year b/c these factors can change the price dramatically

There is a magazine in Borders or B&N called LI Wedding Receptions or something like that.

There are plenty of other places just as nice as Lenards that you might not know about.

I thought for sure I wanted to get married on the water with a unique ambiance. Well my on the water is a little man made lake and waterfall at the East Wind but the inside blew me away.

CONGRATS!!
There is a great spreadsheet you can find in the 'Newsday's Long Island Weddings' magazine - you can find it free usually outside of CVS or other supermarket/drug stores. It has a breakdown of ALL possible Nassau/Suffolk/Queens/Brooklyn catering halls will price ranges, seating capacity, event capacities, and other suggestions. HTH

Welcome & congrats! We decided where on LI we wanted to get married (county, area, etc), had an idea of date and then started making calls. If you are looking for next summer- many places might already be booked!

Leonards is surprisingly affordable because they cater to something like 7 events at once... hence the low price...

Congrats! Newsday actually has a free magazine around that has a listing of catering halls and pricing.

This is what we did...narrow it down to a few that you like and call and see what their pricing is

You're probably better off thinking of a RH that you're interested in so that we can post some prices for you. But I still highly recommend that you visit a few halls.
