Cheapest places in NY/NJ area for small chasunah

Platinum Member Joined: Nov 17 2008 Posts: 5050

What are the cheapest places in the NY/NJ area (could be Brooklyn, Monsey, Lakewood, etc.) to make a chasunah of around 200-250 people?

I know there had been a cheap place in Brooklyn, called Ateres something, but maybe it recently closed down?

What are the per plate prices in places like that or in Bais Feiga in Lakewood?

And what are the minimums?

Thanks.

I think you are referring to Ateres Shlomo on New Utrecht Avenue and 78th Street.
They re-opened, but the place is sooo run down. I was shocked when I attended a wedding there a few weeks ago.

I think this is their number.
(718) 331 - 6700
I don't know the prices but I think I heard someone say that you can get a wedding there for maybe $35 a couple? Not sure.

If they're no longer accepting bookings what other cheap places (at what price) are there in the NY/NJ area?

Anyone know Bais Faiga's price? Or Torah V'Yirah, etc?

Thanks.

Call Nuta from Meal Mart/LChaim Catering - he knows every place around. He was really helpful when I got married.

The Atrium and Ateres Charna both have deals if you get married in a short span of time (like 5 weeks). Nuta would know the answers.

My information may be outdated, but 8 years ago Bais Faiga's price was $15/person. You can then pay for updates - ie - $1/person for white meat, $1/person for X update at shmorg, etc.

I should mention that I think there was a minimum - like 300 people - but even if you don't anticipate that much it could be cheaper to pay for the minimum price than other options (and give the chassan and kallah the leftover portions to take home and put in the freezer for after sheva berachos!).

Bais Faiga (732) 363-5070
Torah Vyira (718) 686-7778

Thank you everyone.

If anyone has any other ideas, please add them.

Ateres Shlomo just signed a lease with what used to be a non-Jewish hall on Coney Island Ave and Ave I, and it is supposed to be ready for February. It is catering to the same type of crowd that it did previously.

There are two smaller places in Lkwd that do weddings: Bais Yaakov and Gissingers. Pm me for more details.

If you would do it in what's now considered "a bar mitzvah hall" check out Menorah Hall at 14th Ave & 50th St in BP 347-385-6969 (might be outdated number though)

I also know of a caterer in Monsey who does weddings for cheap at the Yeshiva of Spring Valley (His name is Mr. Adler). I dont have the number but maybe somebody from Monsey can help you.

I also second Bais Yakov in Lakewood. The weddings there I've attended are VERY nice, simple but done well. I know someone who made a very nice wedding there (with some upgrades) for $9,000. Is that too much for what you are looking for?

I thought Ateres Shlomo was starting to take bookings for the end of Jan. They are doing renovations.
