NY reception sites - help!!

[xandra]

How much discount can one ask for? I am looking at a place in Westchester and they already gave me a $10 discount on the price/person, but I would like to go for more... What is acceptable? I am thinking of april of next year AND on a sunday. The price is still quite high.

Please help....

Where did you decide on??? Well, how far away is the date? The closer it is, the more of a discount I'd ask for...but for the most part, unless it's a HUGE wedding, they won't budge much...

OOPS- duh...you said that. I dunno how much...but it never hurts to ask, right?

MMM (love your kitty by the way

)

I have narrowed down my search but haven''t decided on a place yet. I have tried little things here and there, like trying to provide my own liquor... but they won''t budge much. Most of the places have a set price quote that includes food, cake, cocktail hour and drinks. I just wanted to know if this is normal or if I can try to haggle more.

This thread is great. I know absolutely zilch about this. Did anyone see any places in the Long Island that were good (besides Carlton on the Park)?
