Why is Harbor Club so cheap???

We had it down to three: Lands End, Harbor Club and Crescent Club. (Water was a must for us.)

Harbor Club was our second choice. I think it's a great price for an elegant, waterfront, one wedding at a time venue. The wall of windows ensuresthat you always have a great view throughout the reception, and the banquet manager we dealt with was so nice and accommodating.

Most of the people I talked to had nothing but nice things to say about the place. One of FMIL's friends said that she went to a weddingthere and the service was lousy, but that was the first negative I encountered. That didn't really sway me, because you'll always find someone who has a complaint with any place you pick. As far as the parking lot is concerned, we were told it's under construction, but who knows how longthta will take?

We ended up going with Lands End, because the logistics of an outdoor ceremony seemed better there, they have a small stretch of beach, and we preferred the open water to the harbor. But Harbor Club was definitely a close second!

Best of luck with your decision!

OK ! im not snotty or bitchy or nothing but i had to reply:
me and my friend went last night to the harbor club....

1. its dirty soo dirty the floor my foot was sticking so bad

2. the parkinglot is all holes and dirt

3..... ITS MORE EXPENSIVE THEN CHATEAU LA MER AND WATERMILL!!!!!!!

4.. they never heard of a chocolate fountain

5.. same owners as john anthonys

6.. and the worst... im booking a friday night, my best friend is booking a sunday...

and he goes to me infront of her... friday night is the best night to have a party because everything is sooo clean and the staff is ready to go and by sunday everything is dirty again...
i just looked at her and i was waiting for him now to turn to her and give her a price quote for a sunday....!!!!
im sorry but seriously come on if ur gonna be the most expensive at least clean and have a staff that doesnt get lazy after 2nights...

get ready to be flamed here.....

Thats not cheap at all..
And FH's aunt was married there last year...it was the best wedding I can remember being too..I loved it there!

I looked there, but didnt like the fact that my ceremony would be overlooking the town parking lot.

Otherwise, it was pretty nice.

I agree, $107 for a Sat night in June or July and that would be great. But for Spring, not really.

The wedding I went to was on a Saturday night, guess they had a slow Friday that week because everything was clean and the staff was great.

IMO that's not cheap either. I'm paying less than 1/2 of that per guest for a top menu in high season. You must figure in taxes and gratuity and do the math. Don't think per person. If you are having 200 people that's... $21,400 for reception alone... not including taxes, gratuity, and everything else... that's my entire wedding budget. Do you get flowers or anything else with that price? If you have a $45,000-$60,000 wedding budget then ok. I guess cheap is a relative term. Just think big picture. I think a lot of people go over their budget because they don't multiple the per person cost.

It is all relative because some of the halls can run $185 + pp ... so depending on what you're looking for or the places you have looked at it may be on the less expensive side.
