Any Long Island Venues under 10,000 for 100 people ?

Nelly, on March 27, 2018 at 10:26 AM Posted in New York Planning 1 7

I've never imagined wedding planning would be this exhausting and expensive! It's seems everywhere I look the average cost would be about $20,000 and I refuse to spend that much on one day. Does anyone have any recommendations for venues in Long Island or in the New York area that are inexpensive ?

    I live in Westchester, so comparable area, and I'm 99.99% sure the answer is no, you can't do 100 people for 10K on Long Island. You'd have to find somewhere that charges no more than $65-70 head, because then you have to tack on taxes and service fees, which is about 30%, leaving you for a rough total of $100pp. But that's just catering. If your 10K has to include a band or DJ, photography, florals, your dress, and everything else, I'm sorry but that's just not happening with 100 guests.

    Have you looked into a private room in a restaurant? I would check that out, and try to cut your guest list by at least 25%.

    I doubt it, but have you checked local fire halls or Elks lodges or Knights of Columbus or those types? Always ask about an alcohol permit it NY b/c the law is pretty strict in NY. (I almost had a major issue with it). I held my wedding in way upstate NY for 75 ppl for $9500. We held it at a restaurant with a large private back room.

    Try Shandon Court in East Islip. They have many options to choose from that may work for you.

    For a sit down or buffet dinner I don't think you can do it. You may be able to do this if you either rent a room at a VFW hall, Lodge or something similar and bring in buffet catering (BBQ, Italian, Mexican food) or do a brunch buffet wedding. I was invited to a wedding at Lola's Kitchen and Wine Bar in Long Beach for a brunch buffet. They held the ceremony there (people stood around the bar to watch the ceremony) and then had a brunch buffet and you sat where you wanted. There was music piped in but no dancing. It was very minimal but it was a 2nd marriage for both so they didn't want to spend a lot. They still had an open full bar and it was a lovely afternoon. https://www.facebook.com/lolas.winebar

    If you consider this, it would be better to do this anytime except the summer since parking is a nightmare near the beach in the summer. My friend got married on a Sunday afternoon in April so it was fine.

    Definitely check out Chateau Briand. Not sure if you were looking at a 10k budget just for venue or for wedding overall. Also check out East Wind i believe they provide everything

    A few of the Lessings venues (Brentwood Country Club, Smithtown Landing, Mansion at Timber Point) do all inclusive packages (includes venue, catering, cake, photographer, florist, dj, and limo) for a little over 10,000. Venues with all inclusive packages closer to that 10,000 mark are Sunset Harbour and Meadow Club. They both are 10,000++ for 100 guests.
