Riccardo's by the Bridge and other questions

Hi ladies,

I am on an extremely tight budget, so I need suggestions. I was quoted $52 pp with tax and gratuity included (it is for a 5 hr reception with open bar, 1 hr cocktail and a buffet dinner with the cake included). for a Friday evening! I am having 75 guests
I think its an incredible price, I've been there before and loved what the bride did with the decor, I also think the service was good. I looked around and it seems like the only place in my price range,
If anyone has another suggestion please let me know.
I am going to sign my contract on Sunday, but might chage my mind if I get a better suggestion.
Also any other suggestions on $$ saving are welcome!

The Coral House offered $57.00 per person for a Saturday in August and Jericho Turnpike offered $62.00 per person for a Saturday in August. So you may want to call them to see if they would bring the price down for a Sunday.

Also if you wanted to stay in Astoria, did you look into the Astoria Manor? I believe their prices maybe what you are looking for.

Thanks so much, I will try and give them a call later. I previously called Astoria Mannor and it was over my budget, plus my significant other is not too crazy about the place.
