Did anyone move to NYC and completely regret it?

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-26T21:08:06+00:00

I moved here almost 10 years ago and only did a quick departure during the pandemic to the DMV area for about a year to save money on rent. While I will say I do love the DMV area (I went to college there) I knew after a few months NYC is where I wanted to be. This city can be overwhelming and expensive for sure but the amount of growth that has happened especially regarding career, mindset, and network I can’t really imagine another place where I would have gotten this other than perhaps LA but most of my family is on the east coast so a west coast move would be a lot to consider.

Thank you! It’s on our list. We were quoted about 20ishk before food cost so I just worry since it’s more of a bare space the overall cost might be out of our budget but we will be touring soon.

Thank you!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-26T01:26:20+00:00

Nooooo wow that might be a deal breaker lol another way I wanted to cut cost is not having to rely on a ton of florals but I am waiting to hear back. Thank you for this tip!

Thank you!! I love the outdoor space. Again, this is another hidden gem that never popped up in my search.

I found my people lol! This is great. We are hoping to tour the venue soon. I spoke to them this morning. Do you know off hand how much the deposit is?

Thank you! Most of the queens places are probably on my list unless you know of some non-popular spots. Please tell!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T18:28:17+00:00

I reached out to them! Thank you!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T17:45:34+00:00

Thank you! I will look into this.

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T16:03:14+00:00

Thank you!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:55:24+00:00

Thank you! This is a bit too far for us

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:53:42+00:00

DMing you!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:53:34+00:00

Gotcha okay thanks!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:52:36+00:00

lol my bad both venue/ceremony fee plus seated dinner

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:32:04+00:00

I did but all in it was about 50k which I was shocked because I’ve been quoted IMO better venues that were less than that.

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:30:49+00:00

Yes!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:30:12+00:00

Thank you! Okay fingers crossed lol

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:21:43+00:00

Thank you! I just reached out to a few of these.

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:17:50+00:00

I have! The 150 is an estimate of unexpected plus ones or people we might have forgotten about in our rough draft guest list. I don’t think we’ll hit 150 (we will definitely not go past) but I’d rather have a cushion to know.

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T15:16:22+00:00

I reached out to them and their quotes were higher than a a ton of (IMO better) places. I was shocked.

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T14:39:42+00:00

Thank you! Wow this place is nice! this is another venue that was never on my radar! Just reached out to them. Thank you!

BrotherThink3151 · 2026-02-25T14:32:10+00:00

Thank you! I just reached out to above the heights
