Opinions on reception Halls

Does anyone have any opinions either way about any of the following places?

San Souci
Floral Terrace
Leonards of Great Neck
Coral House

My fiance and I are going to look this weekend. I'm torn between great prices (Coral House) and great reviews (Floral Terrace).

Help!

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

I went to a Christmas Party at San Souci and loved the place. It was so beautiful. When my friend got engaged, I told her all about San Souci and she went there and loved it too. She had her wedding there and it was so pretty and the service was great, food was great and the photos came out amazing.
Another friend got married at the Coral House and that too was a nice place.
I don't know about the other two places, I've never seen them.

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

I have never been to any of the places you've mentioned. I have heard amazing things about Sans Souci. FH's BIL is a Photographer and Sans Souci is one of his faves.

I forgot! I have been to Coral House like 10 years ago twice. Honestly, it's not one of my favorites. But, everyone has a different preference of what they want. I know people that LOVE that place. Good luck finding your dream RH!

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

i've only been to Leonards... it's a gorgeous place -- I would check it out if I were you, the only thing is I wasn't crazy about the food....it's good but I'm very picky, my family has been there plenty of times and they love it

Good Luck searching

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

After going to see 11 halls......my 3rd choice was Leonard's......... the hall & the prices were really good.
Coral House was definitely NOT what we wanted.

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

My brother got married at the San Souci. Its nice, but small. If you are having 150 ppl or less, I would definitely recommend it, if any more, it'll be tight. The food was really good! Also, if you are getting married in November, keep in mind cocktail hour and reception will be in the same room. In the summer they have cocktail hour outdoors, which is lovely. good luck!

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

The only place on your list that I looked at was Coral House. It is preatty and the price was good but they have so many rooms I didn't want the lobby to be too crowded... Plus I wasn't crazy about the setup for the indoor cocktail hour room.

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

The only one we check out was the Coral House. It was nice but, not what we were looking for.

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

I have been to the Coral House the place is a little outdated but the food did taste for very good. I think it is a great place for people on a budget. You get alot for the money.

I also visited Leonards I was not crazy with the decor it was a little to ornate for me and I was not crazy about the food when I went to a Sweet 16 there.

I really like the Swan Club but I was scared my guest would get lost because they are not familar with the area.

Remeber this just my opinion.

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

I've been to Floral Terrace for my cousins wedding. It was hands down the best wedding I've been to. The food was delicious and there was more food everywhere you turned. It was the first place I went to look at when we started looking for RHs but I really would like to find one on the water. They def. work with you on price and if your open to having your wedding on a Thurs, they can really work with you. I forgot the name of the BM that we met with but he was such a sweetheart.

Leonards I went to for my Prom. I loved it but I was only 17, so what did I know? lolz. I couldn't find any complaints.. I actually plan on checking out Leonards for myself. Now I am a little scared with a few of the ladies saying they didn't like the food

The Coral House was recommended to me by a family member as soon as I said I wanted something by the water, however I later found out that it was by a lake, not a beach. From what I've heard, they are great for the money and they do have yummy food..but thats not my personal opinion, its just what I've heard from a few diff. people.

Sans Souci is another place that I wanted to check out for myself, I've heard a few great reviews but they are far and inbetween, I haven't heard any bad reviews though.

Good luck!!!

Re: Opinions on reception Halls

Coral House I went to for a porm, yearsss ago. and i liked it, dont know much about it now, but from pics ive seen looks the same....i like that it has a lake on the property.
leonards ..i booked and some people think its too 'gaudy', but thats what i liked about it
floral terrace...was on my list, but i didnt like that the dance floor is raised up higher then the tables down below
the rest of the RH's i dont know about. i would suggest doing a search on here through brides review board
