3. I always wanted the brownstoen since I saw photos of it but it was in such a sh!tty neighborhood we nixed it until we found out the other halls were EXPENSIVE and our florist said to guve the brownstone a shot because it was gorgeous and he loved the food. SO we did. They gave us the best deal so we booked and I got ym glass room!

Just one because we knew we wanted to get married at Russo's on the Bay.

I have been to so many weddings and functions so I knew which ones to eliminate right away.

Flowerfield
Watermill
Woodlands
North Ritz Club
Fox Hollow

called DeSeversky -too small
Carlton on the Green - too $$$$$
Glen Cove Mansion - never called back.

We booked #4.
DH and I loved Woodlands, but it was just out of our budget.
NRC did not disappoint in the least, and worked out well as a midpoint for our guests that came from Queens and those that came from Suffolk.

we saw one other hall before booking ours.
it also has to do with the time we had when booking.. only 4 months till the wedding..so everything else was booked...

but we LOVED Fox Hollow, so we were so happy!

We looked at 4, but booked the first one we had looked at, the Harbor Club.

I must have looked at every hall that was in reasonable distance for relatives to travel...I looked in the middle of the island! So about 20 places....I really wanted it to be on the water and affordable!! Thats what we got
