Agreed that this depends on what you mean by affordable. Also, how much under 100 people? Your options for 80-90 people will be very different from 40-50.
What do you consider affordable? We just tried to plan a 100 person wedding in NYC and ultimately moved it out due to cost.
As everyone said, depends what’s considered affordable and what you’re expecting for that budget. But I got married at Nowadays in (Ridgewood/Bushwick border) and it was cheaper than a lot of others we priced out. More gritty/hipstery vibe there so depends what you’re going for
Getting married at NYBG in the Bronx with 85 ppl and venue (with open bar, catering, all furniture already included and cake) costs about 30k. add DJ, florist, lighting, and photography on top and it’s several thousand above that. I found this to be on the cheaper end within the city. Also remember tips after the wedding will also add $$$$.
+1 this was one of the “more affordable” (affordable compared to others) options we found, beautiful space. Still a ton of money.
Pro
I know someone who had their wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens years ago and I think it was pretty affordable, but I don’t know what they charge now.
I got married at the BBG in 2019 with 100 people and the cost for venue/ceremony/food was in the $20-25k range, but that did not include flowers, lighting, music, or photography, which basically doubled the price. Realistically, $50k isn’t expensive *for NYC* but it’s still pretty expensive.
We are looking at around 80 people. Most venues we are looking at in and around NYC that just include food & beverage and venue fees are pricing out to be about $30k+ so trying to see if we are missing a good one to look at. Thanks all!
Dumbo loft was I think $5k for the venue but it’s a completely raw space, so you have to bring in everything except tables and chairs.
