My HS class is planning a reunion and we do not want to use the Reunion planning company which makes a lot of money but offers minimal in return. We don't want to be stuck in a hotel ballroom.

Currently we are trying to establish a list of places which offer indoor/outdoor facilities for better flow of the group. While there is no head count as yet (fledgling effort at this point in time) we probably have to look for a space which will accommodate 200 +/-.

Given that we have such a varied group here, I was hoping you might be able to give me some insight to places you've been to for a catered event that you liked.

We are open to any and all suggestions, but would like to avoid hotel ballrooms and wedding factories.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

When is the reunion? Sunken meadow has a place you can rent and you can sit indoors and out and it's on the beach. I went there for a party once.

You guys could each pitch in 30$/pp and maybe get a few of those exclusive beach passes I've heard about

Lido Beach mushrooms. You need a resident to reserve and there is a fee but if it rains you are protected. It is on the beach too.

My old company had their summer party there once....but any park with large outdoor shelters would work. Bethpage State Park has picnic areas that you can rent - went to a company party there too.

I know Meehan's in Huntington has a large party room that can accomodate I think up to 200 people....we were thinking of it for our reunion (but I'm from HUntington....would be good for before and after parties too).

I had to google that -- very cool looking! Don't think we have a resident in our group, bu if we do, it could make for a very cool day after reunion picnic area.
