A newly renovated, beautiful 3,200-square-foot event hall
Pastries, salads, fruit, dips, drinks
Stylish decor and professional lighting
Set up and cleanup

It is nice on their part that they are making a package deal, however that is still extremely expensive for many people to have to lay out. It still not need to cost so much money to set up a place to say Mazal Tov to someone for their engagement.
I challenge you to put all the costs together of what it costs to make an event. Including the food, tablecloths, staff, drinks, plastic goods, and florals/candles for 12 guests. And I would assume that you’d also like to get paid for your time as well:) This is a more than reasonably priced event.
My parents and in laws put together mine and my wife’s lachiam all included for around 1000 dollars and it was a lot nicer then the bre frozen dips and store bought cookies you get for 3250
This is very good for the services being offered. If you want something cheaper, you can always make a lechaim in a local shul. Lechaims don’t need to be so expensive, but they don’t need to be in fancy hall either.
This will really help couples. There are enough expenses as it is. It’s amazing that people are taking the initiative to bring down prices.
About time. Lets make simchas
Anshei Lubavitch is leading the way! Yasher Kochachem!
Can be written more eidel. Mashke, lechayim, etc. We don’t drink alcohol, we say lechayim.
It’s alcohol – unless you’re saying l’chaim on water or soft drinks. In that case it’s included. Otherwise, time to face the facts. Kids as young as 14 (9th graders) are given access to hard liquor/alcohol to “say l’chaim” and/or “farbreing”. Forget “eidel”. The whole concept should be banished. The article is written in English. You write mashke – same thing, different language.
this is a great idea and thank you .. it will help many people enjoy their simcha
It’s time to return the focus to the simcha itself—not excess food or décor.
Simple, elegant, and genuinely royal.
Thank you for ushering in a new era of refined celebrations.
Why does money or Tzedaka money need to be spent on “engagement parties”? Do we not have better things to do with our money then spend it on chocolate danishes and sushi? For an engagement?
Celebrating through large events bring more people together and provides more joy in many situations. Such events are very important for the community.
The issue is that they often get too expensive and become a heavy burden on those who make them. We need to find a balance where we can continue these events, but without breaking the bank. This seems like a good first step in the right direction.
Yikes!
Thank you. This is perfect. No reason it should cost more for friends and family to get together to celebrate the new couple. I hope this becomes the new standard!!!

I find that most people that come to a l’chaim are usually hungry. Tables and chairs as well as more real food is needed.
We make our l’chaims in the house. So nice. Save the extravagance for the wedding bezrat Hashem.
Many families here dont have one
Bs’d BH the high cost of simchois is being looked into. Surely as chassidim we should be looking at the Rebbe’s instructions. In 1969-70, (not sure of the exact date), the Rebbe gave very clear instructions about l’chaims and chassunahs that would eliminate much of the extra cost, including l’chaims. Yud Shevat would be an auspicious time to check the Rebbe’s instructions. Oif simchois.
Lchaim package should cost $1800 at most.
Takana halls in lakewood are charging $12k (all in, both sides together) for a full wedding in brand new hall with parking.
It is hi time we start making lechaims in the home.
We need bold people with means to start lechaims in the house hopefully many will follow.
That’s the way it used to be.
Nowadays people don’t have houses, or can’t fit in. Bh chabad grew
What about shluchim that dont have family or houses in crown heights
We really don’t need these big Lchaims .
Make a lchaim with close family and friends.
Completely unnecessary to spend all this money.
People have just had supper, are not hungry and coming to eat.
Really hard to get out at that time of night for most people.
I do not think this is what the Rebbe wanted.
Who needs to blow that much on a Lechaim? Let’s get back to cake and schnapps. No one eats,all those pastries,anyway.
Just because one person doesn’t wanna spend a ton of money on a lchayim doesn’t mean “everyone has to start making lechayims at home again” – to each their own. Live and let live.
Stop trying to impose your views on other people who feel differently
For so many people, this price is way, way, way over budget. Why are we even making LChaims of this sort? People who don’t struggle financially may have zero understanding of the pressure this puts on people and unfortunately the stress it can cause between the chosson and kallahs families. We are unfortunately missing the main point of what the focus should be during an engagement.
Was in someone’s apartment in Crown Heights 20 years ago. We are from OOT and a family friend hosted it. It was crowded and there wasn’t fancy food but it was beautiful.
I’ve heard people talking about the problem of simcha expenses in the community for a long time now. There is always complaining and kvetching, but little about solutions. Finally, somebody is doing something about it. Kol Hakavod.
You can nearly double the cost. So you are overpaying for desserts that few people will even eat.
its a waste of money! Say Lechaim at the Ohel with some refreshments, Shoin 🙂
When there were several years – perhaps in the ’80s – when L’chaims reverted to what they were originally: L’chaims? No catered affairs. Just L’chaim and mezonos. Friends and family coming over to either the girl’s or the boy’s home, or some neutral place, to wish L’chaim, congrats, and that’s it. Nowadays, technically that would either be at the ohel, or, again, at either of the fams’ home’s. Not an affair. It’s just to say congrats… And but yes. There was also a time when it was even more – an engagement party. Fully catered, plated, waitered, seated… Point is,… Read more »
