WeddingWire and Zola both publish a starting per person price for Verdi's of Westbury, and the two do not resemble each other. WeddingWire says $120 off peak and $130 peak. Zola says $95 off peak and $150 peak. They define the seasons differently as well, so the figures are not even measuring the same months. Verdi's itself publishes no price, which leaves a couple holding two marketplace guesses and no way to arbitrate. The venue has been family run for over 25 years by its own account.
Two marketplaces publish per person figures for Verdi's and they contradict each other on both the rate and the calendar. WeddingWire's $120 and $130 exclude a $20 bar charge listed on the same page. Zola's $95 and $150 sit on a different definition of peak season entirely. Until the venue sends its own sheet the honest range is unknowable, and an unpublished service charge sits on top of whichever figure turns out to be real.
We read verdiswestbury.com including its about, weddings and indoor venues pages, plus the venue's listings on WeddingWire and Zola. 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.
Per person figures conflict with no first party number to arbitrate, and a third party events company also lists this venue, so confirm who books and contracts the room.
Take the two listings apart. WeddingWire publishes a reception starting price of $120 per person off peak and $130 peak, defining peak as April through October plus December and off peak as January through March plus November. On the same page it lists bar service separately at $20 per person, so those food figures still have a bar to come.
Zola publishes $95 starting off peak and $150 peak, and defines off peak as January through March with peak as May through October. Different floor, different ceiling, different calendar.
There is no first party number to settle it. Verdi's publishes menus and contact details and no prices. Neither marketplace figure belongs in a spreadsheet as a rate. Both belong in an email asking the venue which, if either, is current for your date.
The venue names three ballrooms on its own site: Crystal, Empress and Tosca. It publishes no capacity for any of them. WeddingWire counts four rooms. Zola collapses the whole building into one Grand Ballroom seating 100 to 500.
Three sources, three accounts of the same address. That is a reason to walk it rather than shop it online. The weddings page describes newly renovated banquet rooms without saying which rooms or when, so ask what was renovated and whether the room you are being shown was part of the work.
There is a sister location, Verdi's of Whitestone, in Queens. It is not on Long Island and it is not this venue. If you are reading reviews or looking at photographs, check which address they belong to before you draw a conclusion.
WeddingWire states a minimum of 50 guests to book. That is genuinely low for a Nassau ballroom and it makes the venue workable for a small wedding, which halls of this size usually are not.
The maximum is a mess. The venue's own About page says 50 to 400 guests. WeddingWire says 50 to 350. Zola says up to 500 seated. Three sources, three ceilings, and no per ballroom breakdown published by anyone. Prefer the venue's own 400 until somebody hands you a room by room sheet.
No dollar food and beverage minimum is published, only that 50 guest floor. No service charge percentage, administrative fee, maitre d' fee or bridal attendant fee is published on the venue site, on WeddingWire or on Zola. For a hall quoting somewhere between $95 and $150 a head, an unquantified service charge is the biggest unknown in the budget.
Zola lists on site ceremonies as indoor only, and the venue's own space page is titled Indoor Venues. There is no outdoor ceremony space published, which means there is no rain plan to negotiate and no weather call to argue about on a Saturday morning.
That is a real advantage for a February or November date and a real limitation for anyone who wanted a garden. It also means the ceremony fee, published by WeddingWire at $700 starting off peak and $1,000 starting peak, buys you a room rather than a lawn. No reception site fee appears on that listing.
WeddingWire states that outside vendors are permitted and that an outside wedding cake is allowed. For a Long Island catering hall that is unusual, and if you have a baker or a band you are set on, it may matter more than the per head rate does.
Zola draws the other boundary. Outside alcohol is prohibited and the venue supplies a full service premium open bar. Those two answers are not in conflict. They describe a hall that will let you bring people and will not let you bring bottles. Catering is in house, and no outside vendor fee is published by anyone.
Exclusivity is not published. Three named ballrooms and no statement anywhere that only one wedding runs at a time. Assume concurrent events are possible. Ask which room is yours, and ask what is booked in the other two that evening.
Two housekeeping items that cost couples time. The venue's site is verdiswestbury.com. Directories and older link lists circulate verdisofwestbury.com, which is not it and will not get you to a real inbox.
Second, a third party events company, pheventgroup.com, also lists Verdi's of Westbury among the venues it works with. That may be an ordinary preferred partner arrangement, or it may mean somebody else is selling dates in this building. Confirm on the first call who owns the room, who signs the contract and who takes the deposit.
No reception length and no end time is published on the venue site, on WeddingWire or on Zola. Get the hours, the overtime rate and the end of music time written into the agreement, because none of it exists in public.
Four private acres in Franklin Square with a waterfall ceremony site, one wedding at a time, and a 150 guest minimum published on the venue's own site.
A restored 1927 theatre on Jericho Turnpike that runs a wedding across four floors, with all inclusive packages advertised from $13,595 for 80 to 100 guests.
A 5,500 square foot ballroom for 400, a second room at 220, two dedicated cocktail spaces, and no published price of any kind.
A Glen Cove hall marketing itself for Indian and multicultural weddings, with a $55 to $150 per person range published only on Eventective.
A Bethpage hall with four rooms, an on site chapel and over 550 seats, whose package pages list every inclusion and publish no price at all.
A 1950 Northport catering hall of roughly 9,700 square feet that WeddingWire says charges no site fee and runs one wedding at a time.
