Re: Best Place to have Ceremony & Reception?

I'm having my ceremony and reception at The Woodmere Club which is a private country club - however, the good thing is you don't need to be sponsored by a member like most other country clubs on LI. I wanted to do it at Garden City CC first but don't know a member who could have sponsored me...then found out it was too small for my amt of guests. Woodmere was the last place I looked at - looked at 10 before including Crescent Beach CLub, Westbury Manor, Milleridge, North Ritz, and others....none of them gave me a good feeling about the ceremony location - that was very important to me. The ceremony room at Woodmere is hands down the most gorgeous I have seen. It has high ceilings - large octagon shape room with wall of gorgeous windows overlooking the nice golf course and ponds. ALso was my favorite reception room - and I was at 2 weddings there about 5 and 7 yrs ago and the food and service was phenomenal. B/c it is a private club they do not advertise so many brides on this board don't even know of it.

Please FM me if you'd like to see pictures - my FH and I went there recently to take pics on a day they were setting up for a wedding....it's amazing there if you like the country club feel for a wedding!

I also was only interested in a place where they hold only 1 wedding at a time. I just would not be happy to see other brides running around that day!

Check out the watermill. They gave us a great price and we were very happy with them.

I'm newly engaged & looking for a place to book the ceremony & reception. Just wanted to hear for some of you lovely brides out there to see what you think. I am really excited to go see the Meadow Club, I would love to get some feedback from people who picked the M.C. or if you looked at it and didn't chose, how come? THANKS so much!

I can't say enough good about the Thatched Cottage. Their customer service is by far the best I experienced (I looked at about 10 places). They are so accommodating, very reasonable, and the food is incredible. FM me if you want more info. Good Luck!!!
