Lessing's Mansions???

Does anyone have prices pp for any of the lessings mansions? I just want to see which is most affoardable... and its so hard to get a quote without going there... it could be any time of year!

For a July 2012 wedding I was quoted 105pp not including tax and gratuity at Coindre Hall. They also do not have a site fee.


**This quote is for a Friday night**

I was quoted at $99/pp on a Fri night at Vanderbilt, and they have a site fee of $1500 on a Fri night.

How many people do you think will attend? Because we were at 145 and we were ppaacckkkedd out! (But they say the max is 175)

PS - I believe the Bourne Mansion has just dropped their site fee!!!

I actually found the Lessing's locations to be the easiest to get quotes from. I emailed a ton of RHs to find out about pricing before visiting (I'm out of the country and couldn't be bothered to call during NY business hours). The Lessings ones were really good about replying quickly. Try it!

thats too funny because i posted on her other post that they suckeed at getting back to me! i have two guys emailing me and the guy Neil kept writing me back to same exact carbon copy email. I finally wrote back 'you need to give me someone else you knows what they are doing!'

(i was in the same situation where I couldnt really talk to them durin business hours because I was working so email was he best way and no one was in too big of a hurry to price over the email. they only said will you please come in to see me.

tthe prices were a little higher but thats because it is such a gorgeous venue

I had a bunch of venues that either never replied to my email or whose email addresses bounced(?!). In contrast, the Lessings ones tended to reply within a day or so with informative, grammatically-correct emails. Maybe it helped that I told them upfront that we're living abroad and were looking for a RH that could work with us internationally.

i think that since i was inquiring through the info@ email it was just a blanket reply, but i was getting annoyed at the same email being sent.

I finally got a hold of ben and he was very nice and helpful once i told hm i have a crazy work schedule and wouldnt really be able to talk until wknd and didnt want to waste either of our time if it was totallly out of our price range.

And its still not now that they dropped the site fee from the bourne! I would looove to get married there

I got married at West Sayville CC, a Lessing's property. They were great to work with and super affordable. You can see some pics in my album. Guests raved about the location, food, everything.
Steve, the BM there, is very friendly and easy to get a hold of. I know that when I was looking, I was able to call Lessing's properties and get quotes over the phone on the weekend.

I got married at the Bourne this past October and it was beyond amazing. Everything was perfect -- Steve the MD was awesome and had drinks in our hands all night -- forced us to eat -- and had food wrapped up for us

I know this isn't what you asked -- but you really have to talk to the sales guys -- the #'s change if it is fall, winter, spring or summer... friday, sat or sunday... and # of people

People are still raving about our food, decor, and the location! I can't wait to see the pro photos

Good luck at Coindre Hall! FH and I absolutely love it there!

I loveddddd coindre hall.. but FH said it was too 'creepy' ... WHAT THE HECK?! he wont change his opinion.. oh im sooo madddddddddddddddddd!

Im paying $135 a head for bourne but plus the site fee, but I don't think that helps since its all different now that the site fee is gone.

I'm getting married on a Saturday night at the Bourne Mansion in February! FM me if you want more info!!!

I went to see the Bourne Mansion and for July, Aug 2012 the site fee is still there :(
It's $4,000 for a Friday night
It's $5,000 for a Sat night...

Non-negotiable
