Hello All!
This is my first post on any wedding forum and excited to get some great feedback. My fiancé and I are from Brooklyn and are looking for a venue in NJ or LI. I have been to reception halls in NJ such as Westmount County Club and absolutely fell in love. Unfortunately many of these venues do not have a summer date available. I'm a teacher and summer is my preferred season. Many of my colleagues have recommended The Inn at New Hyde Park, Glen Cove Mansion, Larkfield, and Bourne Mansion. We are looking for a upscale venue that will not leave us broke! Any ideas on pricing for Friday or Saturday evening ? Thanks ladies!!

The Inn at NHP is one wedding at a time. They can have another party going on, but not a wedding and the wedding area is separate from the other rooms. It's not cheap, but it is gorgeous and I do think you get a lot for your money.

Glen Cove Mansion actually doesn't have a site fee. It has an onsite hotel, which is a big bonus and the outside is AMAZING. It was more expensive than the Inn, but not extremely so. They seemed willing to negotiate. I don't remember the name of the woman we met with, but she was super nice.
