Re: SCRAPPING WEDDING PLANS - Need info on Brentwood Country Club & other all inclusive wedding packages (photo/video, DJ, limos, flowers, invites, cake)
Dont be scared brentwood is acctualy quite beautiful.. I acctually went to college in central islip (right around the corner) the hype about the bad neighboorhood is just that. The way people talk about it you would think all the houses are run down and that you need to drive through town with your doors locked.. but you'll see its not like that at all... it is a minority neighboorhood so i kinda think thats where the rep comes from... Ive lived in suffolk my whole life and there are some bad towns out here but thats not even close.. I also asked my mom because she's been to BWCC and she said the landscaping is beautiful

I would definitely look at Huntington Town House. I heard they are pretty cheap. That is also closer for you then the Brentwood Country Club.

if you do go to BCC see if steve is working there, he is a friend of mine and is awsome. I believe he does booking and/or matre'd. Good luck.

Re: SCRAPPING WEDDING PLANS - Need info on Brentwood Country Club & other all inclusive wedding packages (photo/video, DJ, limos, flowers, invites, cake)
I think Stewart Manor Country Club also offers an all-inclusive package and that's in Western Nassau. Xelindrya is getting married there soon - FM her for details. It's a really pretty place, although their website is awful. Definitely worth a trip.
They're also a vendor here on liw so you can see their vendor page for pics:

Also there are places like Commack Wedding Center and Queens Bridal that offer full packages, and then you could have it at a place like Timber Point which is beautiful and they include centerpieces.

Re: SCRAPPING WEDDING PLANS - Need info on Brentwood Country Club & other all inclusive wedding packages (photo/video, DJ, limos, flowers, invites, cake)
I went to a wedding at the Brentwood CC, but it was over 10 years ago. From what I remember it was very nice! And a distant friend of mine is getting married there this November.
The Holiday Inn in Plainview also has a great package. I went to a wedding there this past summer and it was wonderful!!!
Good luck!

Not that I'm trying to get rid of you, but would you consider getting maried in Virginia, since that's where your family is? It would probably save you $, from what you've mentioned in the past.
Also, Rainmama scrapped her original NY wedding plans & is getting married at a resort upstate.
She is getting married this weekend, so she might be a little busy, but maybe you could so a search or ask her when she gets back.
Somethinglike that might not be bada idea. A coworker of mine got married at a winery upstate & that was lovely. Not sure about $ though, but I am pretty sure it was less than a winery here, b/c he tried that first.
Yep, checked that out first. The one place I would do it in VA (that no family or friend used) is The Chrsyler Museum. The rental fee is about $3,000 and I would have to use Cuisine and Company caterers. I called the caterer and talked about menu's and pricing - linen rental, flatware and china rental is an extra $10pp. All in all it came out to $55pp plus the site fee. So it is still is the same range as NY. I was shocked!!!! And that is not including open bar. The caterer suggested we bring out own liquor and they would supply bartenders - for a fee.
I also checked another place - Norfolk Botanical Garden. A cousin was married there but I was willing to overlook that since I did not attend that wedding. Ceremony fee is $600 ($500 at the hall in NY) for the garden and the site fee for the reception hall is $3500 for October - the date we want is 10/10/05. Tack on catering for 150 people as well as flowers, photo, video, DJ, limo & tips and it's just as expensive as NY. I thought it would be cheaper too but I was wrong.
Can you scale down your guest list? I did and that made all the difference? Went from 190 to 120. I liked the smaller wedding better.

So far the lowest I have gotten the list to is 124. I think that's pretty good considering it was like 192 in the beginning.

a coworker of mine got married at Brentwood and RAVED about it!! Food, service, location...all great....and the directions don't take you through the "bad" part of Brentwood
Oh my God! Is this place is a bad neighborhood? I'm not concerned since I have lived in Brooklyn long enough to handle most situaitons but my family will be traveling from VA and they are not used to NY at all.
Should I be worried?
IMO it's not a great neighborhood...But not horrible...We went there on a Saturday night in the summer to check it out, and there were kids drinking in the streets to the club and throwing bottles. The place itself is very nice though. Marconi Manor is also nice--no grounds or anything, but I live near there and they always have tons of functions going on.

Re: SCRAPPING WEDDING PLANS - Need info on Brentwood Country Club & other all inclusive wedding packages (photo/video, DJ, limos, flowers, invites, cake)
I have been to Brentwood Country Club for a wedding and it was really nice.
My FFIL pushed this place on us saying it was where he would golf often for work and he says it feels like your in a different world.
We went to Ariana Waterfall and loved it and I wouldn't change a thing about it. We didn't go with the package but I am pretty sure they still offer it.
Good Luck! If you have any questions regarding Ariana Waterfall...I would be more than happy to help!
