Aria is scary...if you pick that one you are really living on the edge! lol!
I am trying to decide between The Society Room, The Riverview and The Gershon Fox Room (right around the corner from The Society Room). The Society Room may lose bc of the prices :(
I've looked at them all 2 weeks ago. The Society Room is the most expensive. Their cheapest rate is $99 pp. Only 1 wedding is held there at a time, you get a tasting, bridal sute, cake included...paking may be iffy. They only designate 1 spot for every 4 guests. People would need to car pool. I think it's a bit on the small side and I am only expecting 125 guests. It's dark in there and my FI jokingly calls it a man cave! :) Not your typical venue which is why I fell in love with it.
2012 Price List
Ceremony Fee: $550 1/2 hour before reception. Deposit is $2000
Add 20% service fee + 6.35% CT sales tax to all prices!

The Riverview is your very typical ballroom/banquet hall but it is geogeous! They have at most 3 weddings around the same time (min. 2). They say it's never a problem. They do not do a tasting which makes me hesitant. They wont give you prices over the phone bc they want to get you in there. Here is the info I got from them during my visit:
Ceremony Fees: 1/2 hour - $500 1 hour- $875 Deposit is $1000.
They have an East and West Ballroom. The West Ballroom has a larger dance floor but otherwise they are identical.
Sat. evening- 150 p min. 6pm-11pm or 7pm-12am Oct. 2012- $120 pp + 20% + 6.35% Nov. 2012- $100 pp + 20% + 6.35% Dec. 2012- $90 pp + 20% + 6.35%
Sun. (non-holiday)- 100 p min. Any 5 hours Oct. 2012- $90 pp + 20% + 6.35% Nov. 2012- $75 pp + 20% + 6.35% Dec. 2012- $65 pp + 20% + 6.35%******** the lowest price they offer.
I didnt ask about Fri (I think they are the same price as Sun.) and I didnt ask about summer bc I knew it was out of our price range or 2013.
The Gerson Fox Room is amazing! It is NOT typical in anyway and much more affordable than the Society Room without loosing charm! What I love about it is that you can have your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in 3 different areas. The ceremony takes place in the Atrium. The cocktail hour takes place in the Mezzaanine Lounge and the reception is in the Ballroom! They give you a complementary Honeymoon Suite. Their lowest price is $75 pp nad their highest price is $125 pp. There is parking in a private garage for your guests. The deposit is $2500. The Marriott Residence Inn is connect to their facility.
We asked about Sun. in Nov. and Dec. which are $75 pp + 20% + 6.35%.
I hope this helps! PM me if you have anymore questions!
Congrats!
