I just got engaged this past Friday and have been on Cloud 9 all weekend. My FH and I have been discussing cost of the RH and what we can afford although since I am new have no idea what to expect. Can anyone help? I am trying to find a reception hall in either Nassau or Suffolk County that caters to only one wedding at a time. We are thinking the party will be around 125 people and are looking to spend under 100.
Any help or guidance would be great!

First of all CONGRATS!!!!! I'm getting married 09/30/2011. The biggest way I was able to save money was switching for a Saturday night to a Friday night. I also believe if you get married in Oct. or later its a little cheaper. Are you looking to spend $100 before or after tax and service charge?

and like JohnnyandGia said, is that $100 before or after taxes and grautuity? From there we all should be able to come up with a nice list of places for you.

Re: Newly Engaged, Fall Reception Hall Quotes 2011
Congrats and welcome!!!!!!!!! When in fall cause some of it is the high season? The one wedding at a time venues are up there in price, so you would prob have to do a lot of bargaining and maybe would need to consider a wedding on an off day or afternoon wedding. Is the $100 including taxes and grat? For the places that I wanted but couldn't afford I asked if they offered brunch weddings, this helped the price out. In the end I am having my wedding on a sunday afternoon with a continental breakfast served prior to the ceremony, CH and dinner choice with a wedding cake and added dessert for about $102pp with tax and grat in May.

Congrats!! And welcome to the obsession
If you are looking for $100pp before tax and gratuity, I know that the Vineyard Caterers in Aquebogue fits in that range. For a Saturday in November we are paying $95 a head. For a Friday in November we were quoted $90pp. A Saturday in October jumped to $105pp and a Friday in October was $100pp I believe.
They do 1 wedding at a time, and the place is beautiful. It's perfect if you want a vineyard wedding on a budget.
Hope this helps!

Re: Newly Engaged, Fall Reception Hall Quotes 2011
YAY!! Welcome and Congrats!!!!!
Yes - check out the thread the Jamie posted and that will be super helpful. I only looked at spring/summer time months so I don't have personal experience with quotes for the fall.
But I always pimp out the Riviera in Massapequa (for obvi reasons) but its one wedding at a time!
Also the Sans Souci in Seacliff - one wedding at a time and sooo beautiful!!!!!!

Congrats!!! i am a summer bride...so I'm not really sure about fall prices. However, I can help with other vendors when you get to it. I'm not sure the prices but here are some suffolk venues:
Watermill Lombardi's on the Sound Villa Lombardi's Giorgio's Majestic Gardens Flowerfield Chateau La Mer Windows on the Lake Venetian Yacht Club Beach Club Estate
I believe most of these are one wedding at a time. I'm not sure about the last two.

Thank you everyone for the Congratulations!
I am still floating on Cloud 9!
I was trying to keep it in the range of $100 with the tax and gratuities if possible.

We were looking at Columbus Day Weekend either Friday or Saturday (10/7 or 10/9) or possibly the 1st or 2nd week in November.

Definitely try to check out places that are small and cater to smaller parties , a lot of the 1event at a time places cater to larger minimums like 200 people and above.
