Okay I've started the reception hall search and it looks like there's no end in sight. I have a list that's longer than Santa's and was hoping for suggestions to help prioritize the hall search. I want to get married in 2008. We haven't set the date yet because we have a limited budget and are trying to price shop. I'd prefer Saturday night (wouldn't we all) but am not opposed to a sunday or saturday afternoon. I plan to have my ceremony held at the reception site and to take my pictures as well. I am kinda set on the idea of an outdoor ceremony and possibly an outdoor cocktail hour. I would also like the option of nice indoors facilities as well in case the weather is bad. I'm only having about 50-60 guests. I'm leaning toward Nassau county because most of our guests will be coming from the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. I'm not sure if Suffolk county would be too far of a drive for most people. I've already looked at Westbury Manor, The Swan Club, Leonard's of Great Neck and Verdi's of Westbury. I don't want to spend more than $85 per person, preferably less. If anyone could suggest someplace amazing that suits my criteria I would greatly appreciate it.

Bump.. Anymore suggestions??? Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll definately check them out. How about Crescent Beach Club, Sans Souci, or Bridgeview Yacht Club?
I checked out the Sans Souci and FH thought it was too small....but I LOVED it!!! We're probably having around 150, so it might have been tight for that...they gave us a price of $80pp including your centerpieces, for a Saturday night in peak season....the place is absolutely gorgeous (right on the water).....you should really check them out!
If you do go, check out Swan Club at the same time- they're very close to each other.

One of my very good friends had her wedding at Bridgeview YC last year and it was AMAZING! I've been to MANY weddings and none compared to this one. The food and service were A+ She had it on a Sunday Eve and said the price was right.

Well I am biased, but check out Westbury Manor. We had our ceremony there as well. The ceremony and the cocktail hour were both outside and were beautiful. We also took all our pics there, so it was great not having to go to a million places to do everything. They have a smaller room where you could have a party for 50-60 people, and their rates are not crazy high, especially if you do an afternoon.

I had no luck with Sans Souci, Riviera, Jericho Terrace, Crest Hollow, Woodbury, or the Crescent Beach Club. I couldn't meet the minimums ( min 100). Any other ideas?

Both the Cresthollow and Fox Hollow are great. I have been to wedding at both. I would stay away from the Coral House.

You may want to try the 'off' season to try to get the minimum lowered. And I didn't think I could meet a 100 person minimum either and we ended up inviting 152 and 127 came!!
I got married at Giorgio's, but it is pretty far out in Suffolk, but it was wonderful. I had the wedding of my dreams.

Crest Hollow and The Riviera in Massapequa-both are very pretty AND very reasonably priced!
