Feel free to jump in at any time!!<br /><br />We absolutely love the Foundry, but sadly, because we're married at "peak season," the price for the rental fee is easily $4-5K over our space budget. What a shame that it's so expensive - but apparently people are willing to pay ridiculous prices even outside Manhattan.<br /><br />I've never heard of the Met Building - but I will check it out! Our biggest troubles are cost (we're looking for spaces b/w 3 and 5K) and size (we're only 85 guests total and don't want to be consumed by a huge ballroom).<br /><br />I'll look up the Met today - thanks for the suggestion! Please feel free to read on ... and send any disoriented grooms this way :)<br /><br />cheers,<br />madmanBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526516499073093037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448889248651909298.post-54207641168676244772010-05-07T09:15:06.536-07:002010-05-07T09:15:06.536-07:00Just stumbled upon your blog, so forgive me if thi...Just stumbled upon your blog, so forgive me if this has been covered, but are you at all amenable to Queens? <a href="http://thefoundry.info/" rel="nofollow">The Foundry</a> and <a href="http://www.metropolitanbuilding.com/" rel="nofollow">The Metropolitan Building</a> are both beautiful spots my fiance and I looked at when we were still considering getting hitched here (I am partial to TMB in particular). If you've already discarded these particular options or Queens in general, sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448889248651909298.post-91309379765899935892010-05-07T06:06:33.456-07:002010-05-07T06:06:33.456-07:00MarieMerin is fantastic, I'm sure - those girl...MarieMerin is fantastic, I'm sure - those girls have enough energy & enthusiasm to light a small village...<br /><br />...but if we had the funds to hire a planning team, we would have done it last August. This budget is strictly DIY, Elizabeth, and we're okay with that! <br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion - and thanks for reading!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526516499073093037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448889248651909298.post-21447437503954552852010-05-06T21:40:52.886-07:002010-05-06T21:40:52.886-07:00MarieMerin may be able to help you!
