Hello,
I could use some help, please! I am planning my June 2012 wedding and need a venue (Long Island/ NYC/ Westchester/ NJ/ lower CT are all okay) that has: - beautiful gardens - a historic feel (we are doing the wedding 1930s style) -elegant, but not overdone or fake feeling - We do not want it to have a catering hall-ish or golf course feel to it. I could live with the golf course, but not the catering hall.
Some places we have really liked, but have not worked out for various reasons include Old Westbury Gardens, Chelsea Mansion, he Nassau County Museum of Art, the Planting Field Arboretum, Wave Hill, and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
We would also be VERY open to renting a private home and tent. I love the idea of a tented reception, actually.
We need the cost to be about $100- $125 (or $150 including tax and service charge and any fees) for the venue/ location fee, food, alcohol, chairs, tables, china, linens and tent.
I would be SOOO very grateful if anyone could point us in the right direction!
Thank you so much in advance!
I am posting some inspiration images.

The riviera is more of a rustic, lodge like feeling (that description doesn't really accurately do it tho) NOT your typical LI catering hall. Gorgeous outdoor space, on the water but also with beautiful gardens/landscaping. In the event of less than desirable weather it can easily be in doors - fireplaces, wood beams, very nice. And for the price you are looking at they are right on the money (once you factor in service charge and tax)
