Quarry Hills Golf Club

What's a girl got to do to find a picture of this place?  The internet is not forthcoming and Alex didn't whip out the iPhone because we were just dropping in.  This album has some other OK shots.  But this one was so evocative.

We stopped by on Saturday afternoon, picked up a general events packet in the restaurant, poked around the tent outside, and sent an e-mail to the coordinator, who sent us back their pricing info.

The outside has stunning views of the Boston skyline and a cool tent.  But the cost brought us up a little short, and we've decided we don't really need the tour to decide it's not quite right.  Cheaper, we'd certainly consider it, but it's not a strong competitor to the more unique and interesting Red Lion.  Besides -- hotel carpet.  Death.

Hall rental	$3,300
Ceremony (outdoors)	??
Food ($160 average entrée)	$24,000
Beverage (for open bar all five hours, with first hour included, wine during dinner included – so do we need to keep the bar open the whole time?)	$6,300
Tax (6.25% of food/bev) (approx)	$1,895
TOTAL	$35,495
Total total (+9100 estimated other costs)	$44,595

Total if we just did like two hours of open bar: $42,345

That's not significantly higher than Red Lion, but we're not nearly as enthralled by the location once you get past the view.  I mean, it's a GOLF COURSE.  There is a putting green next to the tent.  And it's in Quincy.
