I don't even remember what we paid 7 years ago. Chat Icon

ETA: a more simple 60 guest wedding.

It varies. It can be $100 to $250. Some people don't include the "plus plus" of tax and gratuity. It depends on the hall, some are more expensive than others. I'd say you can't go wrong with the $125-$150 range per person.

It definitely is going to depend...when DH and I were looking three years ago, we saw anywhere from $80pp (incl. tax & gratuity) to $175pp + tax & gratuity.

There are definitely places that are well over $175pp + tax & gratuity, but we didn't look at any of those.

Do you have any more details? If they want a 60 person wedding at a restaurant, it can cost tens of thousands less than a 60 person wedding at an upscale reception hall.

I paid around 150pp last year.

Well....that's the thing. When I got married 7 years ago it was so hard to find a place that had a "wedding" feel & not just a private room off some restaurant. (i looooved where we had our reception, the Carltun's Wine Cellar)

I think they were exploring the options of a restaurant closing for them. And are trying to find a venue for 60.

I went to a wedding at Panama Hatties in huntington station several years ago. It was not inexpensive but it was definitely a wedding feel in a restaurant environment. I cannot speak to pp price although I do not believe it is inexpensive.

There are going to be so many factors that are going to dictate price. Here's a place to start if they are looking for catering halls with lower minimums. Clicking on the name will give you price range and additional details. http://www.weddingsitesandservices.com/New_York/ReceptionSites/NassauCounty_LongIsland.html
As others suggested they really need to narrow down what they envision for their day and start researching from there.

For 60 people, I'd say check out Jedediah Hawkins. I think they can do a dance floor.

It's lovely. Beyond lovely.

This is where we got married-we had 36 people but they can do more. We paid around 135-140 pp for a 3 hour sit down family style dinner, with a salad, 3 entrees, 2 sides and we supplied our own cake. It also included open bar for 3 hours. Obviously they can get pricy, but it was perfect and so different from any wedding I've ever been to-and I'm not just saying that bc it was mine lol. The grounds and suite are also beautiful. If you'd like to fm me I can give you more info.

The cost of the wedding will depend upon what month the couple chooses.
Summer and early Fall is prime season. Off season wedding is between Jan-April. November can be a hit or a miss with pricing.

I got married at Westbury Manor in November (2 months ago) with 125 guests for a VERY reasonable price with a ton of throw ins.

We negotiated a lot with halls, and Westbury was the best with what we got.

FM if you have any questions.

Irish Coffee Pub has a very nice room upstairs that would be good for that many people. I don't know if the Metropolitan in Glen Cove is still open, but they have two rooms and the smaller would be good for that size wedding. And George Washington Manor had smaller rooms too I believe.

DH and I were married on a Friday night in mid-October (considered to still be peak) and got an unbelievable rate pp because we booked 6 months before the date. Vendors know that the likelihood of booking an open date with only 6 months left is pretty slim, so they will offer amazing prices. We were married at a very popular venue for less than what people were paying who booked years in advance. Incidentally, the lower prices held true for our other vendors as well (dj, video, photo).

SO much goes into the cost of the wedding. venue, month, day of the week, etc.

I'd say the minimum for a simple wedding on LI would be $75-100. For a bigger to-do I'd expect it to cost $125-150++ before tax and grat.

Thatched Cottage does packages for around $10K w/ photographer, flowers, dj all included. We've been to weddings there and it is very nice.

I got married at Miller Beach Surf Club. We had 55 guest Saturday Afternoon wedding. The price was under 70 a person. They do one event at a time and the view is awesome!!!
