Each hotel has a different policy regarding the costs of the banquet room, the costs of any dinners purchased and the number of rooms rented. However, the final cost, from a number of hotels, is usually pretty much the same.

You are hitting the hotels at "shoulder season", and might get a good break on the cost.

I would contact the banquet manager at each hotel, and see how they price out your choices. If you contact a number of them, two things are likely:

1. You will find a "greek friendly" manager, and he (or she) will show you how to configure your plans for the best price.

2. You will find a hotel that has "excess space" that fits your needs to a T, that they otherwise would not be able to rent. For example, a convention might be using the space you want, but on one night, everyone goes to a basketball game, leaving you a vacant ballroom.

Basically, ask them just like you asked us.

One thing to watch out for is two "formals" in one hotel at the same time.
