Re: How many places did you look at?

So far we have only looked at 2.

This weekend we have appointments to look at 3 more..

Re: How many places did you look at?

Only 2 but if I could do it all over again I would definately look at more......I found out about some others halls on this site and I wouldn't have to have gone over budget and or sacfrice my night wedding for an afternoon wedding to get a good price. I suggest research places on here and keep looking. If you did that and JT is still the one for you I say go for it....but get going now b/c sometimes certains dates book up quickly

Re: How many places did you look at?

We booked the first place we looked at. I think being to so many weddings and functions helped us eliminate before even starting the search.

Re: How many places did you look at?

We saw four:

Swan Club
Crest Hollow Country Club
Thatched Cottage
Timber Point Country Club


We booked with the first one we saw - Swan Club!

Re: How many places did you look at?

I did a lot of research ahead of time, and we looked at 3 (but considered a 4th we have been to before and didn't need to visit).

Re: How many places did you look at?

I looked at Westbury Manor, the Metrolpolitan, Thatched Cottage, Jericho Terrace, Hempstead Country Club, The Inn at New Hyde Park, and Fox Hollow. Jericho Terrace gave us the BEST deal and I just got that butterfly feeling when I walked around. I am DEF happy with JT!!!!

Swan Club
Jericho Terrace
Crest Hollow
Milleradge Cottage

We ended up booking with Crest Hollow in the Emrald room, It was the second place we went to, but we kept looking around because we wanted to be sure. When we compared every other place to Crest hollow we knew we had found our place .

Re: How many places did you look at?

It was a true journey for us when it came to picking our RH. I called like a thousand different places, and I eliminated many based on the price. I made appointments to 8 and saw six. On our way to one, we got lost and then didnt like the neighborhood, so we left without seeing it. Another one, I really wanted to see, but FH and I got into an argument in front of the place and never made it in. I regreted not going in on my own because it seem like it would have been a beautiful place closer to home. We really looked at a total of 6, Verdis of Westbury, Verdis in Queens, Leornards, Villa Barone, and Windows on the Hudson.

We ended up booking at Windows on the Hudson and then cancelled it a few months later when FH suggested we go to see Swan Club, so we booked SC!

Re: How many places did you look at?

I called and emailed several but only looked at 5.

1. Renaissance of Astoria
2. Antuns
3. Westbury Manor
4. Nautical Cruise lines at the Nautical Mile (2nd choice)
5. Coral House

Coral House was the last vendor I looked at and had everything that I wanted, so we booked.

Posted by Diana508

We looked at 7, but technically 6 b/c one place ignored us for 40 minutes AND we had an appt. They never even apologized until we walked out the door.



Huh! The same thing happened to us, I wonder if it was the same place. Was it in Queens?

Anyway, we looked at about 8 places. We had 2 more apptmts. the day we saw JT and we started going to them, but we were talking and FH was so we turned around and booked JT on the spot.
