Today I have appointment in Caffe on the green and they have my date available.... I will have 70pp probably on my wedding and I would like to pay up to $100 per personson, since our budget is very low.... I still need to pay for my grad school in sept.... Im looking for a great place afcorse, with outdoor area, bridal room and maybe around water.We live in Greenpoint, which is near williamsburg bridge. I dont want to travel further then LIE exit 34.... I dont want to have extra charges for providing a bus... I got good ideas from all of you yesterday, but I think I need more help...

Try these if available for your date or if you are willig to change your date:
Floral Terrace Jericho Terrrace The Inn at NHP Westbury Manor Douglaston Manor Russo's
the penthouse at JT is good for a small wedding around 70people, but note to madziara from what i know JT is booked for all of may.
I think douglaston manor is a great choice and heard the price is not that bad
Yeah, I thought you guys had a conversation yesterday about JT being booked, I just mentioned it bec I am so used to doing that, lol. When I went to WM in Feb May of 08 was already booked, alot of places will be booked up, but hey you never know of any cancellations etc

Re: I need to look for new hall.....
you should check out Roma View. They don't really have grounds but it's beautiful inside and the food is amazing!!!
Also, close and cost effective.

Re: I need to look for new hall.....
Have you been to caffe on the green yet.... IMO the actual place doesnt live up to its pictures heavy traffic right there..... and they keep the restaurant downstairs open while your wedding is going on... Lemme know what you thought of the Lady BM there, she's quite the character.... LOL But I hear ya about BM's not being on top of things and agree with your decision to move on....
I don't know exit numbers off LIE But we are struggling with $$ and doin Riviera right on water, one wedding at a time, affordable, its a half hour from Kew Gardens Queens....
Or Coral house, thats on a pond and even more affordable than Riviera...
CLM is only ten fifteen minutes further than Riviera also water and affordable...
Good luck keep us posted

botanical gardens is VERY expensive, $185-195 without t&g
verdis is a great choice-i think FH worked there when he was in college and says the food is good, actually yeah that is the one he worked at

Hey!!! So sorry to hear about your wedding hall dilemma. I have a few suggestions for you.
1. Floral Terrace is located in Queens. It is about $95 a person. It is not on the water. It is actually an old play/movie house. And you get practically a free honeymoon to the Greek Islands.
2. Sand Castle is located in Queens. I heard it is not over priced. However, not on the water.
3. Riviera is in Massapequa, on the water and about $100 per person.
Good luck! Hope this helps!
If you do a sunday in late may at riviera its $80 per person, saturday higher

i dont know how negotiable it is...170 is the price without tax and gratuity whenever a place lists a price they give the price w/o t&g. 120 can be the price for smaller weddings but again add the tax and gratuity then even if they negotiate itll be alot.
Another thing about botanical garden is that they have alot of restrictions...if you want a ceremony there it can only be during certain times in the morning, then youre only allowed 45 mins to take pictures there and again only during certain times, they're weird about their policies.
