Based on venues listed in The Blu List directory with published pricing data. Last updated May 2026.
Long Island has over a dozen highly-reviewed wedding venues — and a handful actually publish what they charge. Per-person prices in our database start at $110 (Giorgio's Catering) and run to $165 (Sea Cliff Manor). Flat-fee minimums start at $12,000 (Leonard's Palazzo) and reach $25,000 (NYIT de Seversky Mansion). Most venues, however, don't post prices at all — which tells you something about where the market sits.
This article covers every Long Island venue in our database with known pricing, what you get at each level, and how to approach the ones that don't publish rates.
The Short Answer
Budget $130–$175 per person for a full-service Long Island wedding venue, once you account for food, beverage, and basic service fees. That puts a 150-guest wedding at roughly $19,500–$26,250 and a 250-guest wedding at $32,500–$43,750 — before flowers, photography, DJ, or officiant.
The venues that publish flat fees start at $12,000–$13,000 for smaller packages and climb to $25,000+ for estate-style properties. Per-person pricing is more common at catering halls and country clubs. Either way, Saturday nights in June, September, and October carry premiums. Off-peak dates — Fridays, Sundays, and January through March — routinely come in 20–30% lower.
How Long Island Venues Price Themselves
Of the venues in our database, pricing falls into three structures: per-person, flat site fee, and undisclosed (inquiry only).
| Price Structure | Examples | Starting Price | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per person | Giorgio's Catering | $110/pp | 300+ |
| Per person | The Inn at New Hyde Park | $120/pp | 300+ |
| Per person | Swan Club On The Harbor | $130/pp | 300+ |
| Per person | Sea Cliff Manor | $165/pp | 201–250 |
| Flat fee | Leonard's Palazzo | $12,000 | 300+ |
| Flat fee | Bellport Country Club | $13,000 | 300+ |
| Flat fee | The Royalton Mansion | $13,000 | 201–250 |
| Flat fee | Jericho Terrace | $19,000 | 101–150 |
| Flat fee | NYIT de Seversky Mansion | $25,000 | 101–150 |
| Undisclosed | Crest Hollow Country Club | — | 300+ |
| Undisclosed | East Wind Long Island | — | 300+ |
| Undisclosed | Harbor Club at Prime | — | 151–200 |
| Undisclosed | Bridgeview Yacht Club | — | 300+ |
| Undisclosed | The Garden City Hotel | — | 300+ |
| Undisclosed | Russo's On The Bay | — | 300+ |
Venues with undisclosed pricing aren't necessarily more expensive — some are competitive, some aren't. But you'll spend time on a call before you find out.
What You Get at Each Price Point
Under $125/person or $13,000 flat
Giorgio's Catering ($110/pp, 5.0 rating, 161 reviews, 14x award winner) and The Inn at New Hyde Park ($120/pp, 4.8 rating, 309 reviews, 13x award winner) both sit at the accessible end of the Long Island market. These are full-service catering halls — banquet-style ballrooms, in-house food and beverage, high guest counts. At this level, expect assigned coordinators, cocktail hour packages, and multiple room options. Leonard's Palazzo ($12,000 flat, 4.7 rating, 195 reviews) and Bellport Country Club ($13,000 flat, 5.0 rating, 196 reviews, 15x award winner) offer comparable entry points on the flat-fee side. Bellport's perfect rating across nearly 200 reviews is notable — that level of consistency is rare.
What you're trading for the price: expect less architectural drama, more banquet hall. These spaces work well for large guest lists (300+) where budget control matters more than a "destination" setting.
$125–$150/person or $13,000–$19,000 flat
Swan Club On The Harbor ($130/pp, 4.6 rating, 196 reviews, 8x award winner) brings waterfront access into the picture — harbor views change the feel of a venue considerably. The Inn at New Hyde Park's outdoor event space also competes here depending on package selection. The Royalton Mansion ($13,000 flat, 5.0 rating, 119 reviews, 12x award winner) delivers estate aesthetics at a flat-fee entry point. At 201–250 guest capacity, it's sized for mid-range weddings without requiring a massive headcount to fill the space.
Jericho Terrace ($19,000 flat, 4.8 rating, 196 reviews, 5x award winner) is worth noting here: it caps at 101–150 guests, making it a per-event cost that translates to roughly $127–$190/person depending on headcount. That's an unusual pricing structure on Long Island, where most venues are designed for 200+.
$150/person and above or $19,000+ flat
Sea Cliff Manor ($165/pp, 5.0 rating, 155 reviews, 9x award winner) sits at the top of the published per-person range. The waterfront location and perfect rating justify the premium for couples who want a polished, smaller-scale event — capacity tops out at 201–250 guests.
NYIT de Seversky Mansion ($25,000 flat, 4.9 rating, 118 reviews) is the highest published flat fee in our database. It's a Gold Coast estate on the North Shore — historic architecture, formal grounds, 101–150 guest capacity. The $25,000 covers the space; catering, florals, and staffing are separate. At 150 guests, that's $167/person before food — so true all-in costs land well above $300/person at this venue.
What Drives the Price Up
Several factors move Long Island venue pricing beyond the base rate:
- Saturday peak season (June, September, October): Expect 15–25% premiums over the published starting price at most venues. Some venues quote Saturday rates separately.
- Guest count: Per-person venues scale linearly. At $130/pp, going from 200 to 300 guests adds $13,000 to the venue line.
- Waterfront or estate setting: Swan Club, Sea Cliff Manor, Bridgeview Yacht Club, and NYIT de Seversky Mansion all carry location premiums. Waterfront on the North Shore commands more than South Shore equivalents.
- Overnight accommodations: The Garden City Hotel bundles lodging with event space. Convenience has a price — expect 10–20% above comparable standalone venues.
- Catering model: Some flat-fee venues (NYIT de Seversky Mansion, Mansion at West Sayville) require you to bring an outside caterer. Full-service venues bundle food and beverage, which can be a better or worse deal depending on headcount.
- Multi-room buyouts: Crest Hollow Country Club and East Wind Long Island can host multiple simultaneous events. If you want the property to yourself, buyout pricing applies.
- Vendor restrictions: Venues that require in-house catering or a preferred vendor list add indirect cost. Check before signing.
Three Realistic Budget Scenarios
Budget Wedding, 150 Guests: ~$19,500–$22,500
You're looking at Jericho Terrace ($19,000 flat for up to 150 guests) or per-person pricing at Giorgio's Catering or The Inn at New Hyde Park. At $120/pp with 150 guests, venue-only cost is $18,000. Add a Friday or Sunday date to stay at or below published rates. In-house catering at these venues typically includes cocktail hour and reception food — you're not paying separately for a caterer. Total venue spend: $18,000–$22,500 depending on upgrades and day of week.
Mid-Range Wedding, 200 Guests: ~$26,000–$34,000
Swan Club On The Harbor at $130/pp lands at $26,000 for 200 guests on a Saturday. The Royalton Mansion at $13,000 flat covers the venue, but you'll need to price out catering separately — budget another $80–$120/pp for food and beverage from a licensed caterer, bringing the all-in venue-plus-catering cost to $29,000–$37,000. The Somerley (4.6 rating, 173 reviews, 201–250 capacity) doesn't publish rates but is sized for this scenario — request a quote and use $130/pp as your benchmark for negotiation.
Premium Wedding, 120 Guests: ~$45,000–$65,000+
NYIT de Seversky Mansion at $25,000 flat plus outside catering at $150–$200/pp for 120 guests puts you at $43,000–$49,000 before florals, photography, or entertainment. Sea Cliff Manor at $165/pp for 120 guests is $19,800 in venue costs — lower entry point, but capacity is set at 201–250, so you're paying for space you won't fill. Harbor Club at Prime (5.0 rating, 171 reviews, 10x award winner) doesn't publish pricing but fits this guest count at 151–200 capacity — expect rates in line with Sea Cliff Manor or above.

How to Find the Right Long Island Venue
- Set your guest count first. Half the venues in our database cap at 300+ with no upper limit. If you're inviting 120 people, NYIT de Seversky Mansion and Jericho Terrace are built for that. If you're inviting 280, focus on the 300+ capacity venues.
- Decide on pricing model. Per-person pricing is easier to forecast as headcount shifts. Flat-fee venues require you to separately price catering — get those quotes before you compare total costs.
- Use published prices as anchors. The venues that publish rates ($110–$165/pp, $12,000–$25,000 flat) give you a benchmark. When undisclosed-pricing venues quote you, you'll know whether you're being offered a deal or a premium.
- Ask about off-peak discounts directly. No venue publishes their Friday or January discount. Ask: "What's the differential between a Saturday in October and a Sunday in February?" Answers are usually specific and useful.
- Get the full package in writing before comparing. One venue's $130/pp might include open bar, cocktail hour, and cake cutting. Another's might not. Standardize the comparison before the price means anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the average cost of a wedding venue on Long Island?
Based on published prices in our database, per-person rates run $110–$165, and flat-site fees run $12,000–$25,000. For a 200-guest Saturday wedding, the venue-only cost (including catering at per-person venues) typically falls between $26,000 and $38,000. Venues that don't publish rates — roughly half the market — often land at similar or higher figures.
Do Long Island venues include catering in their pricing?
It depends on the venue type. Full-service catering halls (Giorgio's Catering, The Inn at New Hyde Park, Swan Club On The Harbor, Bellport Country Club) bundle food and beverage into their per-person or flat-fee pricing. Estate venues like NYIT de Seversky Mansion and Mansion at West Sayville typically require an outside caterer — the site fee covers the space only. Always confirm what's included before comparing quotes.
Which Long Island venues are best for smaller weddings under 150 guests?
Jericho Terrace (101–150 capacity, $19,000 flat) and NYIT de Seversky Mansion (101–150 capacity, $25,000 flat) are the best-documented options for intimate guest counts. Harbor Club at Prime and Mansion at West Sayville cap at 151–200 but don't publish pricing. Most Long Island catering halls are optimized for 250–300+ guests and may not be the right fit for smaller celebrations.
How far in advance do I need to book a Long Island wedding venue?
Top-rated venues — particularly those with 10+ industry awards like Bellport Country Club (15x), Giorgio's Catering (14x), and The Inn at New Hyde Park (13x) — tend to fill Saturday dates 12–18 months out in peak season. If you're targeting June, September, or October, start conversations 16+ months ahead. Off-peak dates (November through March, Fridays, Sundays) have more availability at 9–12 months.
Are North Shore Long Island venues more expensive than South Shore?
Generally, yes — though the gap is narrower than the North Shore reputation suggests. NYIT de Seversky Mansion and Sea Cliff Manor (both North Shore) carry the highest published rates in our database. South Shore waterfront venues like Bridgeview Yacht Club and Russo's On The Bay don't publish pricing, so direct comparison is hard without getting quotes from both. Use Sea Cliff Manor's $165/pp as a North Shore benchmark and Swan Club's $130/pp as a mid-market anchor when requesting quotes.
