Recently Engaged!

Hi Ladies,

So for the past week I have been stalking this site and I finally decided it is about time to join. Can anyone please help me wedding venue pricing? I went last weekend to Larkfield Manor and Chateau La Mer but I feel as if I have to look at other options. I was originally shooting for a Friday or Sunday night in October of 2013 but I am on a strict budget and decided to open my options to other months - March, November. If any one can give me some venue pricing that would be great. This weekend I want to go check out Douglaston Manor, Thatched Cottage, Brentwood CC, Fox Hollow and Watermill!

Re: Recently Engaged!

Congrats on your engagement. I am getting married in March 2013 but I got all my quotes back in Feb so not sure if they still be the same. Enjoy this time!

Good luck on your upcoming appts!

I booked with Fox Hollow for a Saturday in March but my uncle works there so they dropped the price because of that so I'm not sure what they would quote you. I do know that when I went in they said Nov. and Dec. is still pretty expensive because they do get a lot of holiday parties there. Jan and Feb are the cheapest and March follows that. March 2013 is booking fast though. They only had a couple of dates available.

Also, fox hollow's layout and separate indoor ceremony area (depending on which rooms the size of your party allows) makes it easier for them to charge more for a 'winter' wedding... it's still amazing even if it rains, etc.

Re: Recently Engaged!

I have March 2013 quotes, but not for the places you are looking for. Sorry! However, we originally were looking at November, but ultimately decided on March. The price for a friday in November was about $10 more pp than a Saturday night in March. We loved the March prices! Just what we experienced anyways.

Yes, Oct is def a peak month but if your looking into Fri/Sun dates you will def save some $$. My date was originally Sat 10/5 but moving it 1 day to Sun 10/6 we saved a lot of $$. Prices drop I believe from Nov-March.. maybe even April.

Re: Recently Engaged!

Congratulations!! I got pricing for Thatched for a May wedding and I thought it was pretty reasonable. October is 'in' season, but a lot of places may be able to work out deals depending on your day of the week. Good Luck :) Have fun venue shopping!
