Wedding Package At Albany Manor Off to a Strong Start

Anshei Lubavitch’s all-inclusive wedding package at Albany Manor, announced before Pesach, has now hosted its first few weddings — and each has been a beautiful, well-run celebration. Families who have used it have been spared both the cost and the logistics of a typical wedding, and the response has been remarkable.

The package, at Albany Manor on Rutland Road, is priced at $16,900 for 150 guests, with options for additional guests and other upgrades. For a Crown Heights wedding of that size, the savings are substantial, and they come without the trade-off that often accompanies budget simcha packages. This is a beautiful, high-end event, not a scaled-back one.

It works by bundling a single coordinated team under one fixed price, so families deal with one point of contact instead of a dozen vendors. The package covers event management and catering, photography, music, floral design, and videography with an edited highlight reel. The hall seats 150 with room for dancing and can accommodate up to 250 by clearing tables for the first dance after the main course.

The savings come from the management’s negotiations with numerous vendors, who agree to a lower price and make up the difference on volume. The arrangement gives vendors a steady stream of work and gives families lower prices — and it shows that elegant weddings can be done for less, bringing down rates that were until recently considered normal.

The wedding package grew out of two earlier offerings that proved the model. A Bar Mitzvah package at Anshei Lubavitch, introduced last year at $4,750, includes a 3,200-square-foot hall, a four-course meal for up to 100 guests, a photographer, and a one-man band. A lower priced Bar Mitzvah Package for $3600. A L’Chaim package followed in Kislev at $3,450, covering the hall, pastries, salads, fruit, dips and drinks, décor, and photography. A simpler L’chaim Package at $2200. Between them, dozens of Bar Mitzvahs and L’Chaims have already been held using the packages, and families have been very appreciative.
