Spinoff to Kellybean's thread: Please post info (places and prices) for REHEARSAL DINNERS?

my sister does everything at king umbertos in elmont; we had my e-party there. it was about $35 pp

we had my parents 40th anniversary party at Sole in Oceanside... i think that was around $40 pp

my other sister used to do Giardino's in douglaston - i think they are reasonable but not sure how much. there is also (or was) one in Roslyn off old northern blvd

This is for a REHEARSAL DINNER at Jackie Reilly's in Bethpage.
