russo's on the bay

Does anyone have some info on it? im looking for places in queens and heard its great, anyone have some prices on it? im willing to change my date if the price changes lol....and any pics would help. thanks!

Russo's is amazing but can be very $$$$ and they also have a 200p minimum on the smaller of the 2 rooms that are generally used for weddings Fri-Sun.
The only reason we were able to have our wedding there is because we were willing to book on a Thursday night which brought the minimim down to 125p. Also booking early and being flexible is the best way to get a better price.

ETA
We are paying $75/head for a Thursday night 10/11/2007 with their most inclusive meal package (Stationary cocktail hour, App, salad, pasta, 11 dinner options, cake) and an open bar.
They have other package options that have less dinner choices or passes cocktail hour etc.

wow 200 minimum and thats for the small rooms?

The smallest room they have is downstairs and maxes out at 100 people. It doesn't have a special 'entrance' and there is no separate cocktail room. From how they described it I don't think they book that many weddings in that room.

The next biggest room is the one we have the Tivoli. On a weekend day it has a 200p min and a 260max i believe

Then the largest room is the Rennisance ballroom which is huge and holds more people then the Tivoli but i'm not sure quite how many.

I'm sure the minimums are lower in the daytime if that is something you are interested in. They have an awesome sounding brunch menu but a breakfasty cocktail hour and then similar food to dinner for the sitdown.
