Re: Reception location dilemma

Actually as far as I know neither of those venues offer the price you are looking for during prime wedding season. If you did a fall or winter wedding perhaps you could get that rate. Just something to think about!

Maybe look for months from nov-march they are usually cheaper.

Try Fox Hollow - they were giving me around that price for April 2009

Thanks! I hate being poor...LoL! j/k. I wish I could just set a date already. All of these places confuse me. I just want excellent food and music and that's all i'm really concerned about. The rest I can deal with. Any advise on any places under $100 p/p?

Re: Reception location dilemma

You could probably find a place with that price if you do an afternoon reception, or a Friday night or Sunday reception. A Saturday evening is prime time, so it might be hard to find.

Fox Hollow, the Riviera, Milleridge Inn all quoted me around that price for an afternoon.

You should also check out Westbury Manor..my friend is having her's there for $85pp on a Sat. afternoon in October.

Good luck!!

Re: Reception location dilemma

you can pretty much get that price anywhere if you're willing to get married in January, February or March.

If you're planning on a spring, summer or fall wedding, would you consider a friday night or a sunday afternoon wedding? Those days/times are usually the least expensive.

I know that Russo's on the Bay offers tons of food and for a winter wedding their prices are 1/2 of their usual prices

Good Luck with your search...

We're getting married on a Friday night in July and the Swan Club is $75pp. If you want to add the 'Platinum package' it goes up to $95.

Re: Reception location dilemma

The Riviera is just around that price but it can only hold like a max of 200

Re: Reception location dilemma

You should check out Leonard's. We are on a very tight budget and they gave us a great price, definately under $100.

Leonard's of Great Neck

Re: Reception location dilemma

JT will probably more than what you are looking to spend but it is beutiful and the food is delicious. For that price Riviera and Fox Hollow are a definite. Also, Milleridge Cottage will fit that price, and my friend's sister got married there and liked it. Also, Sunday afternoons during the season are cheaper. Good luck!

Re: Reception location dilemma

Larkfield Manor is beautiful and the prices are very reasonable!!!!

I looked at Jericho and you can get the skylight room in that price range for a Friday night reception. I think it was $87 for a Friday in May when I went (last weekend).

Re: Reception location dilemma

If you have your heart set on a Saturday night...I would suggest that you look into having a wedding during the months of Jan- March...We are having our wedding on a Sat night in Jan and we were able to get a price in the area that you are looking at. Fox Hollow, CHCC, and The Swan club all have very resonable prices

Re: Reception location dilemma

Try LArkfield Manor... although we are getting married in July... we are only paying $80 p/p on a Friday night.... We orginially wanted April they quoted us $80 p/p in April and actually gave us that for July.

They really work with you and what you can afford

Good Luck!

Re: Reception location dilemma

i agree with larkfield manor! they just did a bunch of renovations and the place is gorgeous. they completely work with the budget that you have. if you get married in an off month nov-feb, the prices dropped into the low $60-70s pp. also for summer months the prices arent bad at all. i would give them a chance
