According to one member on a WeddingWire.com forum thread, she was recently quoted $210 a person, not including tax or gratuity on a Saturday night for any months from May to October.

Rockleigh Country Club wedding overview
Wedding package options include valet parking, coat check options, floral centerpieces, place cards, bridal suites, a bridal attendant, restroom attendant, event manager, premium open bar, silk damask table linen, outdoor options and/or LED lighting. All of these options can be included in any wedding package offered via the country club.
Menus, which can consist of a cocktail hour and a gourmet dinner, can all be customized to specifications. As per the club, “anything is possible” and their culinary team will work closely with you to meet your expectations.
What are the extra costs?
Aside from the quote offered by the country club, be prepared to spend an additional 20 to 30 percent in tax and gratuity, according to brides who did receive a quote.
With so many menu customization options, adding additional food to the cocktail hour or even reception can greatly increase the costs depending on the add-on. Popular accompaniments include a Viennese table, a candy station or comfort snack foods late into the evening at the Jazz and Blues club.
How can I save money?
The time of year and day of the week, as with any venue will greatly affect the price. A Thursday wedding will be much cheaper than a Saturday wedding, for instance. This NJ.com article, for instance, interviewed a couple who were married here on a Thursday evening. The payoff was $156 a person, including tax and the gratuity, down from the $216 a person they would have paid on a traditional wedding day.
