Hi. I'm new to this so hopefully it makes sense... We are looking to get married on a friday night in early march 2012. There are many reasons why we need this time frame. We aren't having more than 100 ppl, I'd like it even smaller but it's not possible. We are paying for it ourselves. We are hoping to pay $65/pp plus tax and what ever else, so no more than $85 a plate total. We live in mid nassau county and would like to stay around there. *Also, we need to have the ceremony on site. Since it'll be cold outside the place should have a decent atmosphere to take pictures indoors. Neither of us are picky by any means. I don't need to be the only bride there because as far as him and I are concerned, nobody else exist anyways. I plan on doing whatever I can myself.
I'm mostly looking for some input on reception halls and prices, what to ask, how much can we bargain, what should be included, how much extra do gratituities run?
Clearly this is off season and on a Friday night but does anyone have an idea how much these places will cost us?
**Hopefully we'll like one of the first three enough to not see all of these, but when you're on a tight budget then you do what you have to do...
The places we want to go look at are:
The Swan Club North Ritz Club Westbury Manor Carlyle on the green -(pricing may be too high) Bridgeview Yacht Club (further than we want) Chateau Briand (if first 3 listed are no good)
Thanks for your help! =) Congrats to all the newly engaged!

Re: TINY Budget Mar. 2012 Wedding. Pls help!
Look at Leonard's, Chateau Brian, Swan Club, Fox Hollow, Crest Hollow Country Club and Jericho Terrace.
I think NRC might be out of your price range and I think Carlye is as well.

Crashing,
Def check the Fox Hollow. I got married there, granted it was a Sunday afternoon in January, but it was 59 a person before tax and gratuity. They may be willing to work with you for a friday night

i booked chateau for late april 2012 and my pp budget actually fits within your range but we got an amazing price. im not sure if chateau would give you a room with 100min probably the saturnia but prices will def work well with you. also check leonards, they have smaller rooms to fit 100 people ...they actually quoted me in the $50's pp for april or august so def check with them.

Try Milleridge Cottage, it is definitely in your price range for March 2012. It was very charming and perfect for a smaller wedding, I personally didn't like it for my occassion since we are having 200+.
And I agree wtih previous poster don't even look at the Carlyle....I did and I'm pretty sure its going to be too much and I am going to be heartbroken because i love it! haha
