NNJ/Staten Island: I recently got engaged and my fiancee and I would like to book a hall for our wedding reception. We're planning on May/June 2006 and need space for 200-300 people. She lives in Staten Island (surrounding areas OK). Any suggestions?

Sheraton Meadowlands?

I highly recommend the Kvetch message boards over at indiebride.com for questions like this. They're full of great venue information.

Wow, sounds exactly like my cousin who got married three years ago! I was a bridesmaid at her wedding, which was held at the PNC Arts Center. She had about 250 people there and it worked out wonderfully!

Any idea of costs for these places? Or is that heavily variable?

Indiebride seconded. Also, the message boards on theknot.com are very useful for these sorts of questions. Alas, I don't have any actual advice.

Sister got married 20 years ago on a charter boat as it circled Manhattan. She had about 200 guests. It was a lot of fun and not ridiculously expensive. Almost no one puked. The boat left from docks on the west side, 23 St maybe.

Here's a link to the boat I think she chartered: Skyline Princess.
