Is it considered a high end hall? upgrade options? what about the service?

Bumping this. Has anyone used them. Were you happy. More expensive than Lakewood, but DD really likes it.... Curious if they follow through on what they promise. Do they have someone who can run the wedding on time? Are there surprise extras?

Used them! They have upgrades! Even their basic plan is on the nicer side. Very receptive. Follow through with everything. Great experience!

I used Main Street Florist in Monsey. It was great- very reasonably priced, gorgeous flowers, and I also got my bouquet from them.

I hear it's beautiful and the caterers Glatt Geshmak amazing. They're probably a little more above average and lakewood might be less but the food is much much better

Is it high end? Compared to a Lakewood basement hall? Yes. Compared to the Rocklwohh? No. The food was good and the hall was nice

This past August it was 90- $95 a person and then there's an extra fee for Twilight and also if you want it on a Sunday there's another fee for that. It is more expensive than using a Lakewood hall.
The food was delicious though.

What’s a Lakewood basement hall?? Those aren’t wedding halls, those are for brissim and vorts. Lakewood has magnificent wedding halls for significantly less expensive than the brightstone

Correct. I was responding to the other poster.
To answer the op, My brother got married in the brightstone, it is really beautiful and high end
They are significantly more expensive than Lakewood halls including lake terrace

We just had a siblings wedding there. It was very nice. I wouldn’t call it high end, I think it’s similar to a lot of nice halls in lakewood. I haven’t been to bais faiga in years so I don’t know if it’s been redone, but it would be nicer than that. It’s nicer than the atrium in Monsey

It’s also not huge, so the chuppah takes place in half of the reception hall and after everyone waits essentially in the lobby while they arrange the tables.

The parking lot is also very small, though I believe they offered valet parking if I remember correctly (I was there early so didn’t use it)

Compared to Lakewood prices it will definitely be higher

The food was very good

I'd rather good food and the hall little less nice.

It's nice but small. If you have a lot of people it will be crowded

For the record, there are only two Lakewood wedding halls in basements, and the second one just opened in august.

They are mostly in schools though.

What makes food "good"?
