Off Season Wedding Venue

I got married in December and looked exclusively at one wedding at a time, off-season venues. Ignore all the first offer pricing, everyone was very amenable to negotiate! If you’re on a tight budget, Sea Cliff Manor is extremely competitive and offered us something around $75pp, no venue fee. The Lessings venues almost all offer an all-inclusive winter wedding package that includes flowers, DJ, transportation, officiant, everything for around $15k (2017 pricing). I didn’t choose one of those, but I got married at The Mansion at Oyster Bay (it was called The Woodlands at Woodbury last year!) because they were so flexible and I was able to afford a truly spectacular wedding. At the time they weren’t a Lessings venue but they are now.
Not sure where you’re looking or what your parameters are, but venues are very keen to negotiate for off-season weddings. First things you can get rid of are usually site fees, and then you can probably knock them down 10 – 20%. You’re not going to throw a $100k wedding for $15k, but you’ll probably be able to afford what would be a Saturday June wedding on a Saturday in December.
That was my experience. Good luck!
