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!

The Sans Souci in sea cliff is a great buy. Beautiful location overlooking the long island sound. Also has a reputation for having the best food on long island for catering. They also host one wedding at a time.

agreed. I had my wedding at TPCC, and was a bit hesitant when I saw it off-season and not set-up, but whne I walked in on my wedding day, I was thrilled. Every single thing was absolutely perfect, and the maitre'd and bridal attendant were flawless...i was SO so happy with my choice.

Check out my pics - i'm sure I have some stuff in there!!!!

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.

My FH's cousin is the pastry chief there, she just had her wedding there, along with almost every family party (christenings, communions, etc) so we're kind of SS'd out.
Besides that, our table was missing 2 (our niece was born that day) and we were still on top of each other... and the cocktail hour is outside, on a hill.. I can't tell you how many drinks were spilled.
The inside is beautiful, but like I said... we've been there so much that we're 'bored' with it.

what are their prices?
I'm so burned out doing this... over the past few days we've contact almost every hall we could think of!

UPDATE:
We went to TotP on sunday.. yea, guy totally jerked us around. He promised me that he could do better then $14,000.... if we didn't EAT! when we went there, the price was closer to $16,500 without anything extra.
He called joe a GINZO, which got joe upset, the room we were shown was way too small and he wouldn't let me 'set it up' how I wanted it. The cocktail space was nice, it was bigger then the reception area.oh and the windows had HUGE cracks in them...

::sigh::.... I give up!

I am totally in the same boat and it is so frustrating!!!! I dont want anything to big, but I dont want to go broke at the same time. All I can say is keep looking around or maybe play with the dates or times. Good Luck!

Not your typical wedding venues, but have you looked into Shandon Court or Molly Malone's?

Also, I have no idea of the cost, but I have heard that Rock Hill Country Club in I think Manorville (?) is really great and very reasonable.
