Re: How many places did you look at?
we physically walked into and spoke with 17 (yes, thats seventeen) halls... and we contacted COUNTLESS others.. I honestly think I have quotes for 90% of the halls on long island.

realized after I posted this I should have written:
(in edward cullens voice) SEVENTEEN
(in bella swans voice) how long did it take you?
(in edward cullens voice) a while
sorry, new moon comes out 2 weeks from tomorrow and I have twilight on my mind

Re: How many places did you look at?
We checked out 11 places and i called 6 others for prices quotesWe fell in love w/ the first place but it was too far for everyone to travel!
So i tried really hard to find something else we'd love just as much - and we found it!

Re: How many places did you look at?
I should have looked at a few others but honestly didn't want to stray too far east into LI because my parents and most of my family live in Queens..I checked out
-Leonards (duh, I booked with them, but coincidentally it was one of the last places we saw)
-Westbury Manor
-Manor East (Massapequa)
-Coral House
-Swan Club
-Sans Souci
-Douglaston Manor (Queens)
-Antun's in Queens Village (Queens)
-Russo's on the Bay (in my neighborhood!)
-Verdi's of Westbury
- George Washington Manor
- Garden City Hotel (the most $$
I didn't bother checking out:
-Crest Hollow (went to my prom there and various weddings, already sick of being there!)
-Jericho Terrace
-Riviera (was booked for all October '10 dates I wanted)
-Fox Hollow (because they said they don't handle weddings for 50 guests or less)
-anything in Suffolk County (too far for FH and my family to travel)

Re: How many places did you look at?
since we live off of LI now it was hard to 'physically' visit every place we were interested in. We virtual toured about 12-15 places but one saw one in person - and since they had the date available & we loved that it was on the water - we booked right on the spot.

Re: How many places did you look at?
I did a lot of research online and made a lot of phonecalls. I probably wouldn't have even visited the 3 I did b/c they were out of my price range and I probably could have gotten that info over the phone.I visited the one w/ the best price w/ my fiance, we liked it and booked on the spot - Miller Place Inn

Re: How many places did you look at?
we looked at about 7, have been to weddings/work things at 4 other places so eliminated them...we loved watermill (which was the 3rd one we saw) but wanted to be sure that it was 'the one' so we ended up looking at 4 more

Re: How many places did you look at?
Like 35 from Aruba to Florida to NY.Decided on the Old Field Club. It's close to our friends and family (not us,) is a beautiful location and is quite unique.

Re: How many places did you look at?
only 3 but I did enough research to know a good deal when I heard it.....wanted a smaller place that would give me a small minimum , a Saturday night ,and at a good price. so after speaking with the rh extensively we just had to go check it out to make sure we liked it. We did and we moved on to the other decisions.
