Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Hello!

So I went to Vanderbilt Mansion on Dowling College, and it was really really pretty... The price wasn't bad, and it seems like they give you a lot of food!!!

BUT... I really didn't like the entrance that the guest would come in... It was a little weird looking... And it didn't look like a Mansion, b/c you enter the back part, and really don't go to the front...

I am really really torn... My FH didn't like that it looked a little too much like a College, as Deseversky is on a college but is no where near the campus...

I just don't know!! I fell like I have no other options... I have looked everywhere!!!

Hey Prinses...
Glad you liked Vanderbilt Mansion... I had cancelled my appt with the Woodlands so I can't really give you an opinion on it... We decided on The Carltun so that is why I didn't bother going there. I heard it was nice though.. but judging from your posts, it seems you & your fiance really love DeSeversky... Go with your gut! Good luck

prinses...
since you like mansion type places... did you look at the Harrison House is Glen Cove? Thats really nice.. and it has the hotel attached so you don't even have to leave after. Has a lot of ammenities too.. pub upstairs w/ games & card tables etc, small/old bowling alley in t he basement & a lot more. My sister got married there last fall.. it was very nice. It may require more people than you are having though... Another place to maybe to confuse you even more.. hehe

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Hi,

I saw your posting and I wanted to know if you booked Russo's on the Bay or if you visited them. We're really interested in them.

Thanks much

Does anyone know of a place in Nassau, where we can have 100 people, be the only wedding and not spend more than $100/per person?

Any suggestion is appreciated!

Try the Swan Club

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

OK!!!! So, I went to the Harrison House... and I LOVED IT!!!!

but... I would need to get married on a SAT afternoon b/c I only want 125ppl... The quoted me $150, I really really liked it...

But then I think, so much money... with the band, and the dress, and flowers,... I also want a house.... HUMMMMMMMMMM......

maybe I should just go to city hall... my mom thinks I am crazy... shes like "its just money" you won't have the memories of a beautiful wedding if you don't do what you dream ... but I can dream in a beautiful house!!!

I am confused...

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

You will have a BEAUTIFUL affair at the Harrison House.... The food is very good too!! And you cannot beat the pub upstairs... my sister had the afternoon there & i think its better in the afternoon for the Harrison House... You will be able to see the beautiful grounds it has and also afterwards you can make use of all the ammentities there. The pub i think is open until 1 or 2am.. so you'll be able to stay up there from when your wedding ends until closing... while the night wedding by the time everyone changes and everything probably will only have an hour or so up there. They have a really nice brunch the next day too. We ordered finger foods and played cards in the pub all night.. it was awesome!! So don't have any doubts about this place... its fantastic! My friend is also getting married there next sept... and try negotiating the price a little.. they dropped it a little for my sister & also for my friend.

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Thanks Danacm80!!!

Since you are the only one I know who has been to a wedding there... Did you think there was enough food???


Did your sister get married there??? or in a church??

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Yes I thought there was plenty of food... and it is good, quality food. I wouldn't say there was a HUGE amount of food but it is comparable to other places. somehow my friend got them to throw in the seafood boat into her cocktail hour with no extra charge. I think the cocktail hour had 4-5 stations and 10 passed hor d'vores... & it was all really good. I thinnk the coconut shrimp were a big hit. & the meal is 4 courses---appetizer, salad, entree, & then dessert--cake w/ i think 2 other desserts on the plate w/ platters of stuff on the tables. Unless they took stuff away but that is what my sister had. She actually got married in Italy! & then when we got back a week later we had her reception at HH. The next morning we saw a wedding ceremony being set up outside & that looked pretty.. i have no idea where it would be if it was indoors. She worked with Bill there but i hear the woman (not sure of her name) is really good. The only really thing i disliked there was the size of the dance floor.. it is a portable dance floor so i kept tripping! lol & it was a little small. Everything else was great. Hope this helps.

Hi I just wanted to add some of my experiences with the places I’ve visited for our 05/06/07 wedding (Sunday Evening) for 200 guests. Hope it helps, please don’t take any offense to any of my comments:

Roslyn Claremont Hotel:
-Roslyn, NY
-101/pp
-Had a very old and classic feeling in it, the cocktail and reception room are on the lower level, so they have no outside views. If you’re claustrophobic this probably isn’t the best place for you
-Charged extra for valet….coat check
-1 wedding@ a time

Areca:
-Plainview, NY
-DON’T BOOK THIS PLACE!!!!!!
-I fell in love with this place, visited them 3x….2x to see the place w/ and w/o the wedding setup and the 3rd time to show my parents…so I called them so that we can sign the contract….I left Mike the BM NUMEROUS MSGS to please call me, I was practically begging him to take my $$$….but he NEVER ONCE returned any of my phone calls! HOW RUDE!!!!!!! I’m sooo mad at this place!

Bridgeview Yacht Club:
-Island Park, NY
-85/pp
-Waterview
-The room is really a outside tent but it doesn’t feel like one..
-Nice, but wasn’t as contemporary as I’d wanted it to be
-1 wedding@ a time

Woodbury Country Club
-Woodbury, NY
-80/pp
-BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR garden for pics!!!!!!
-Classic feeling
- 2 weddings @ a time

Jericho Terrace
-Mineola, NY
-99/pp (NO NEGOTIATION, the BM actually told me that!!!)
-VERY limited outdoor pics
-I didn’t like the way the BM pitched me the place, he talked to us like we were just $$$ to him, he memorized and read off his menu selections (like we were sooo impressed) and the place just felt too commercialized….he was rushing everything….didnt like it
-2 weddings @ a time

Chateau La mer:
-Lindenhurst, NY
-72/pp
-waterview
-Possible yacht entrance for bride and groom (weather providing)
-1 wedding @ a time

And our FINAL choice:
Crescent Beach Club:
-Bayville, NY
-95/pp
-On the beach facility
-Great sunset pics!

Feel free to FM me with any comments/questions…..

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Jericho Terrace-We're paying $80pp but that's because we had originally booked for '06 so they're letting us keep that price. But he said that '07 price would have been more. If you do go there Anna and Mike C are very nice.

Leonards- Sat night $85
Sun night $59.
That's the basic package.

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Yup, I heard that too....that Areca is in a lawsuit...do a search on it here....I'm so glad i didnt book it there....sorry for you Areca brides out there...waht are you guys gonna do?

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

Watermill Inn
Saturday afternoon in April $75
Saturday night in April $99
And the place is breathtaking and soo welcoming :)

Re: Hey Ladies...Let's post reception halls and there prices for 07 as we go on our search?

I booked Sunset Harbour
Saturday night
Min 125
$80 pp
And I got a mini Vienesse table free!

I think the prices have gone up since the renovated it. Also the min is now 150 too.
