The Royal Palm Banquet Hall

Maharani and Baraat are on the package list

Long Island halls that take South Asian weddings seriously usually say so quietly, in a line about accommodating outside caterers. Royal Palm puts it on the package menu. The Maharani Wedding and the Baraat Wedding Package sit alongside the Royal Wedding and the Plaza Wedding as named products.

That is a meaningful signal about kitchen capability, timing and the physical logistics of a baraat procession through a courtyard. It is also, on the published record, all we have. The site names the packages and describes none of them, so what a Baraat package includes, whether it permits an outside halwai or a specific caterer, and what it costs, are all unanswered. Those are the first three questions for the call.

520 guests, and the venue did not say it

The Knot lists the Grand Ballroom at up to 520, the Plaza Room at up to 125 for ceremonies and cocktail hours, and the Lounge at up to 65 with a full service bar. There is a courtyard usable on its own or with the other rooms, and a bridal suite. We fetched that listing on 10 September 2026.

The venue's own site refers to beautiful ballrooms and outdoor space and publishes no capacity for anything. A 520 guest ballroom would put Royal Palm at the very top of the Nassau range, which is the whole reason a large family would look here. It is a marketplace claim about the venue's building, and the venue has never confirmed it in public. Get the figure from the hall.

The pricing guide is a lead form

There is a dedicated Wedding Pricing page on royalpalmny.com. It advertises a downloadable pricing guide described as packed with pricing, packages and amenities. The page itself shows no dollar figure of any kind, and the guide requires a form submission.

So there is no publicly verifiable price for this venue, first party or marketplace. The Knot carries no starting price either. That is unusual: most halls that gate a brochure still leak a starting figure into a marketplace listing. Here the number does not exist in public at all. The desk is open seven days a week on 516-845-1151, which at least means the phone gets answered.

Three rooms on one property, so ask who else is there

A hall with a 520 room, a 125 room and a 65 room is built to run more than one event at once. Nothing on the site addresses exclusivity, and neither does The Knot.

This is the single most consequential unpublished fact here. A 200 person wedding in the Grand Ballroom with a sweet sixteen running in the Plaza Room is a different night from a 200 person wedding with the building to yourself. The difference shows up in the parking lot, in the bathrooms, in the courtyard and in the noise bleed between rooms.

There is a second reason to ask. The courtyard is described as usable on its own or in combination with the other spaces, which means it is shared infrastructure. If another party has the Plaza Room, your ceremony and their cocktail hour may want the same outdoor ground at the same hour.

Nassau or Suffolk, settled by the parcel record

Boundary Avenue is named for what it is. The address is Farmingdale, some listings file it under South Farmingdale, and the line between Nassau and Suffolk runs close enough that directories disagree. Parcel records place it in the Town of Oyster Bay, unincorporated, which is Nassau County.

The predecessor business at the same address was Stuart Thomas Manor, now listed as closed. If you find reviews or photographs under that name, they describe the previous operation in this building. No founding year or building history is published for Royal Palm itself.

One practical consequence of the county question: sales tax, permits and any municipal noise rule follow Nassau here. If somebody quotes you a Suffolk assumption on any of that, correct it.

A four hour reception is shorter than the local standard

The Knot describes a four hour reception at this venue. Most Long Island halls sell five, and several sell five and a half with a cocktail hour on top of it. An hour is a real amount of a wedding.

On a four hour clock, a ceremony at six leaves very little room for a full cocktail hour, a seated dinner service, toasts, a first dance, parent dances and an open dance floor. Something gets compressed, and it is usually the dancing. Ask what the four hours cover, whether cocktail hour sits inside or outside them, and what an additional hour costs.

That figure is The Knot's, like everything else quantified about this venue. It is still the only published statement about how long you get the room.
