RH's for under $80/pp or overall cost of $14,000??

Original post by megan_gallagher

Can anyone off the top of their head supply a list of catering halls that costs under $80/pp (++ included in that price) or an overall cost of $14,000 (all included) for 150-165 guests.
We're doing a Saturday Night wedding... no question about that- FH has made that clear.
We've checked out 10 halls already and are totally burned out. I've tried contacting almost every hall I could think of (via email- we both work full time and I teach dance at night while he goes to school, so via phone is hard) and have gotten little response.

We're looking for a fall or spring wedding, no winter, no summer, and can't get married during lent.

The halls we've looked into already:

Majestic Gardens- don't get me started on them!
price for Nov- $82.50++

North Ritz- what a joke- Joe gags when he hears that name.. BAD experience

$150++

Larkfield manor- too narrow

I don't remember the price, it was in our range though

Crest Hollow- possibility, kinda iffy on the look of the rooms

$75.00++

Brentwood country club- didn't like the salesmen, room was too dark and cocktail hour room was too small

$Package

Fox hollow- too narrow, the room we liked was too small

$65.00++

The Riviera- WEIRD layout, too much money
$95.00++

Coral house- seems to be our #1 now... but i'm still iffy.

$72.00++

Manor East- too 80's

$Package

The Metropolitan- didn't like the room in person

$95.00++

and now saturday we're looking at west lake inn... but based on pictures, I don't like them, but joes heard good things.

So.. yea, any other suggestions? I want to check out the swan club, but he's been putting that off. what about westbury manor?
Planning a wedding is the worst thing in the world! and to think I WANTED to be a wedding planner!
We're so burned out over this and we can't waste anymore time!

Check out the Lessing's website - Try Smithtown Landing Country Club - many places are offering deep discounted prices for available dates left in 2009 - if you're willing to move it up. If now, SLCC is still pretty affordable. FM if you like more details! Good luck!

Yea I contacted EVERY lessings location... they want over $150 at most places.

We're not picky on the month... just the day of the week.

If you are open to the end of March which is the very beginning of Spring, you can still get winter prices at some RHs.

Check out Verdis of Westbury...in general they are very reasonable...maybe not as big or as popular some other RHs but still very very nice and great restaurant quality food.

Here is their website and I would also do a search on here for reviews. I have been to the one in Queens and its really nice.

I am SO surprised! Did you look at SLCC? 150 for them sounds ridiculous!

The Holiday Inn in Plainview offers a package deal. If you aren't looking for a 'RH', the Holiday Inn is great. It comes out to about 10,000 for 100 people (including photo, video, dj, flowers). Ariana Waterfall has a package deal for a similiar price.

As far as halls that are per person...the less expensive halls I've seen are: Verdi's of Westbury, The Sterling, Knights of Columbus in Seaford...

It's going to be hard to find a RH for under $80 pp. When I was looking, I wanted a Sat. afternoon and the prices were still OVER $80. Good luck!

Try the Thatched Cottage I just saw they are doing one of those 100 people for a 10,000 with dj ect.

Maybe look into the winter the prices will always be cheaper.

Chateau La Mer (Lindenhurst)
Coral House (Baldwin)
Milleridge (Jericho)- again some of their prices are much higher so it would depend.

Floral Terrance, I know JT might work depending on the mth. Also try places on the water in the winter like Cresant Beach Club

When I was shopping for a Sunday night in July '08, All the places everyone mentioned was above $80 for a Sunday night except:
Swan Club
Coral House

Of course, these were for summer months. Winter is less expensive.

I LOVED my Thatched Cottage wedding, but what I loved most about it was the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. If I were getting married in the winter and didn't have use of the grounds, I don't know if it would be worth it to have it there - you are paying partly for the amazing grounds.

Timber Point Country Club. I wasn't thrilled with it when I saw pictures and looked at the place, but the day of my wedding, it was STUNNING.

You're the only bride there and they have a deck that over looks a golf course... we had an extra bar out there and the guests loved it.

Only downfall (for some) is that the dancefloor is in the corner of the room. Which we liked actually.

You might have to be a little less picky to get that price for when you want it
