I think we all had a huge list of places to look at, but you have gotten good advice already, narrow them down by price, date, availability but one other important thing for me was...After I saw The Riviera in Massapequa I immediately fell in love with the place, but they didn't have a night available...so I weighed my options...I wanted a waterfront hall, I wanted the place to be beautiful, but not Glitzy...if you know what I mean. Classy. The other thing I didn't really think about until my husband to be at the time said was'this is great because we are the only wedding here'. A lot of those places on your list are great, but they do several weddings at once.

I have been to weddings at those places, and its not so nice to walk into a place and be asked...which wedding are you here for, or accidently walk into another one, or get party crashers from other weddings...which does happen!
My choice was made simple...At the Riviera I WAS THE ONLY BRIDE, So it was ALL ABOUT ME!!! which I loved!!!
Good luck,
Pam
P.S. don't mean to add another one to your list but you should really check it out....its webpage does it NO justice.

i would try to cut it half (we checked out 10 places) and then work from there. If those 10 doesn't say 'pick me, pick me' start going though the others.. some of these places are very different. good luck

I looked@ a bunch with MIL ( mother inlaw)
narrowed it down and then brought fh/dh with me.

I see that Terrace on the Park is on your list......that place is gorgeous they were neck in neck for us with the Floral Terrace.

The rooms ae so beautiful- as is the cocktail hour room.

Enjoy!

Edited to make sense

I would get the wedding sites and services guide, or look it up online. They give guide as to how many people cna be accomodated, and that will probably knock some off of the list! Make a list of what you're looking for in a place, location, setting, size, price range, food, if you want there to be only one wedding at a time, and compare them against the info in the book, then make your calls from there. Having it at ToP would be SO special since you had your first kiss there *giggles*
