help my newbie friend please!

hi girls,
my good friend was recently engaged and is a newbie on LIW. she's supposed to be signing a contract w/Lombardi's on the Sound tomorrow, but from what she's been telling me about her dealings w/the BM there already, they're kind of blowing her off, not open for ANY kind of negotiations, and giving her an overall difficult time. Personally, I feel its a mistake for her to book them bc if they're this difficult NOW, imagine how they'll be once they have her money in their pocket! Does anyone have any suggestions of a nice hall, she wants something near the water, but with a beautiful indoors in case of rain? She's planning a late August wedding. She already looked at Venetian and Lands End but didn't like the indoors of either. I'm drawing a blank. I know if we put our heads together we can find her the perfect place!!! Thanks!

I've personally never been, but what about Thatched Cottage?

If she did not like those, she should also look at Harbor Club, CLM , Crescent, Carltun on the Sound, Sunken Meadow....

I also had a similar experience with Lombardi on the Sound... They are primarily a country club and did not want to negotiate or be flexible to any requests. Personally, I was disappointed with their indoor options if it rained.... they would not guarantee which room I would get. and I was not keen on having the ceremony in the recption hall.

Too bad she did not like Venetian. I was so happy with them.
