Just curious, what is your average feast hall rental site? Our cheapest site 
runs $300 and only holds  50 . Our bigger sites run from $1000 to $1800    
and are used for events over 400 (feeding 200), and averaging between 600 to 
800 people. Our average everyday site for 150 (our usual amount here) is 
$500. 
    We charge between  $8 and $12 per person for feast and site and average 
between $4 and $5  for site fee ( this includes a lunch).  Our table rentals 
cost us $10 a table (at best) and $1.50 per chair. Our weekend events (Friday 
- -Sunday) run between $25-$30 total because the only camping sites available 
in the NYC area charge us $5 per person per night. we provide all meals 
during this weekend as well.
      We  still average an event a month though. However, try to get a three 
course meal in NYC for less than $15 or stay a night in a cheap motel (starts 
at $50).  I still think though we are higher than the national average, we 
are still a deal. Food, Entertainment, and lodging for the weekend for $30  
in NY.........
