One wedding at a time is the claim, and at The Somerley it comes with four private floors and a private entrance, so the building is yours for the day. That is the venue's own statement on its own page. The complication sits next door. Fox Hollow is a second Scotto Brothers venue on the same Woodbury campus, sharing one website. Every hard policy number we found, including a 22% facility fee, lives on the Fox Hollow wedding FAQ rather than on any Somerley page.
The Somerley itself publishes no rate. Every hard number here, the 22% facility fee, the $1,000 deposit and the 100 to 120 guest guarantee, comes from the Fox Hollow wedding FAQ on the shared campus website, which never says it governs The Somerley. Confirm each one against a Somerley proposal before you compare this venue to anything else.
We read the Somerley page, the Fox Hollow homepage and its wedding FAQ, and The Knot and WeddingWire listings, on 10 September 2026. Checked September 2026. First party means the venue’s own site or rate card; marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
The facility fee, the guest minimum, the reception hours and the vendor insurance rule all come from the Fox Hollow FAQ and are not confirmed as applying to The Somerley.
The Somerley and Fox Hollow are both Scotto Brothers operations on one campus at 7725 Jericho Turnpike, and a single website carries both. The Somerley has its own page. The wedding FAQ, where the actual terms live, is filed under the Fox Hollow side of the site and is written in the Fox Hollow voice.
It never says that it governs The Somerley. It might. The two venues share an owner, a kitchen culture and a car park, and it would be normal for the terms to be identical. It is also entirely normal for two brands on one campus to run different minimums, different hours and different fees, which is usually the reason the second brand exists at all.
So we print the FAQ figures with the caveat attached to every one of them. This is the Fox Hollow FAQ, and nobody has confirmed it applies to The Somerley. Ask that question first, before the tour and before the tasting.
The FAQ states there is no service charge, and that a 22% facility fee plus sales tax is added. Read that carefully, because the first half sounds like good news and the second half is the whole cost.
A menu price quoted without that fee is not the price. On a Long Island wedding, a percentage of that size sitting on top of food, bar and room is the difference between two venues that looked identical on the tour. When you collect proposals, put every venue's fee on the same line of the same spreadsheet and compare totals, because the labels differ from hall to hall and only the totals are comparable.
The FAQ also gives a first deposit of generally $1,000, payable by credit card, cash or check, and a minimum guarantee generally between 100 and 120 guests. That is a guest minimum rather than a dollar figure, and it is the number that decides whether a 70 person wedding works here at all.
The Somerley page publishes no capacity. WeddingWire says the ballroom holds 240. The Knot puts the venue in a 201 to 250 band and lists 250 as the maximum. The Fox Hollow FAQ says the campus reception rooms run from 50 to 285.
Three numbers, three sources, and none of them the venue speaking about this room. The 285 most likely belongs to a room on the Fox Hollow side. The 50 at the bottom sits below the 100 to 120 guest minimum the same FAQ describes, which tells you the range covers a whole campus rather than a wedding in this building.
For planning, the only safe move is to ask for the seated capacity of the specific ballroom with a dance floor and a band in it. A stage and a dance floor take seats out of a room, and marketplace capacity numbers rarely account for that.
The Somerley describes four private floors that can be configured per event, a ballroom under vaulted glass ceilings with French doors opening onto European style gardens, an on-site wedding chapel, a private entrance and a bridal suite. Individual rooms are not named and no floor carries a published capacity.
The chapel is the unusual item. An indoor ceremony space separate from the reception room means nothing has to be flipped while your guests drink somewhere else. It also means the rain question is answered structurally rather than by a contingency clause. No rain plan is published, but a chapel is one.
The Inn at Fox Hollow sits on the same campus, along with a fine dining restaurant. For a wedding with out of town guests, a hotel that people can walk back to at midnight removes the car service problem entirely.
The FAQ says all vendors are welcome provided a certificate of liability insurance is submitted at least one week before the event. It also says vendors do not count toward the guest count, but that vendor meals are charged at two-thirds price if they push the count above the minimum guarantee.
That is a clear and unusually specific rule, and a good one for couples who have already booked a photographer or a band. Give your vendors the deadline in writing the day you sign, because a certificate that arrives on the Thursday is a problem nobody wants on the Thursday.
Timing, from the same FAQ: a six hour reception with a ceremony, five hours without, with extra time and an after party available at extra charge. No clock time curfew is published. Every one of these terms carries the same caveat as the fee, because they all come from the Fox Hollow FAQ.
One more scheduling question belongs on the same call. The chapel and the Inn serve the whole campus, so ask whether either is committed to a Fox Hollow event on your date, and what happens to your ceremony if it is.
