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!

Re: help my newbie friend please!
I've personally never been, but what about Thatched Cottage?

Re: help my newbie friend please!
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. JMO
Too bad she did not like Venetian. I was so happy with them.
