Need some suggestions for my brother . . .

Need some suggestions for my brother . . .

He proposed to his GF on Sunday and I'm helping them plan their wedding.

They're not sure if they are going to do a small Vegas wedding or a small NY wedding.

Need some suggestions for reception halls in NY that can accommodate 50-75 people.

They want something elegant but won't break the bank.

Location isn't too much of a concern.

TIA!!

ETA: They are looking at July/aug 2010

I think Douglaston Manor could accomodate them.

Westbury Manor... they have a smaller room and it is very nice.

Many places will accomodate a smaller wedding on a Sunday/Saturday afternoon.

Try Fox Hollow

I always suggest San Souci of Sea Cliff for a smaller wedding. And Fox Hollow's Winter Garden Pavilion room is beautiful(they say holds up to 130)

Iam having a small wedding, like 60 people. Look at Westbury Manor, they are totally reasonable, and the place is gorgeous!

Westbury Manor! Went to a party there, the place is very pretty and I'm told they have rooms to accomadate smaller weddings.

Re: Need some suggestions for my brother . . .

One other thing....only because I just got thru researching all this....Westbury Manor, Douglaston Manor and Verdis are only places that will accomodate less than 75 people on a Saturday night. Most wont even accomodate that on a Friday or Sun, they want min 100.

Good Luck!!

Re: Need some suggestions for my brother . . .

if he wants to do something small why not do a restaurant with a private room? La famiglia is GREAT food and plenty of it, and it was 45 bucks a person. no tax if you pay cash...

ETA: i think its in plainedge

Westbury Manor. our wedding was in the small room upstairs, and our min guarantee was 60. the CH room up there is beautiful. and WM is very reasonably priced.

Try Watermill Caterers in Smithtown. I'm having a 60 person wedding there in June 2010, and it is very affordable.

Jericho Terrace or Swan Club both accomodate smaller weddings.

Re: Need some suggestions for my brother . . .

one of my favorite locations on Long Island for a wedding is Trumpets on the Gate in Eastport. They have a small minimum (they only seat 119 so they were out of the question for us) BUT the place is spectacular and the food is wonderful. They ain't cheap, though.
