I asked that question because I wanted to know. I get it's about an ambiance you get at such a place. I also understand the upkeep is expensive. That's fine. Glad there are people who can afford such a place. Do I think such a place is worth it? That doesn't matter. It's about what the people think who are having their event in the place.You really have no clue about this industry do you? You do know this place is 5 minutes from you too. By the way there’s plenty more in Jersey that are just about as expensive and maybe more depending on the date... Venetian, park savoy, park chateau, Rockleigh cc, Florentine gardens, west mount country club, etc. They keep raising rates, you can keep staying the same.
As pro mentioned, it’s not just dinner, it’s the grounds and photo ops available, the size of cocktail hour, the variety of options, the amount of options for dessert. It’s literally top of the line everything when you get to those levels.
That's just like some people don't feel you're worth what you charge because of the price. I say you're worth what you charge. Those who think you're not worth what you charge like I said are making that decision based on price alone. They are not looking at the total picture.
Me personally I couldn't afford to have an event in such a place unless I rob a bank for a lot of money. Such places are designed for people who can afford it and that means people with a great income. Also the good thing about a place like that is they avoid having certain people coming to them about having their event there.
Now if I could afford it would I have an event there. Only if I hit the Powerball or Mega Millions. Just spending like that for one day to me doesn't make sense. Not when you can save money and take the money you save and put it to good use. That's just my opinion. Obviously others feel differently or such a place wouldn't be in business.
