I'm so happy! I made 3 appts. to look at some RH's. I finally feel like I am starting the process. I think that my original plan of a sunday brunch may not work out, which will change our date, but we werent set on 8/23.

We are looking at:
1. Venetian Yacht Club
2. Mansion at Timber Point
3. Snapper Inn ( I heard mixed reviews but we will give it a try)

How many places did everyone look at before they chose 'the place?'

We only looked at 3. We already knew where we wanted to have it. Good Luck!!

Good Luck. We saw fox hollow first...we knew we wanted our wedding there...but we saw Westbury Manor and Thatched Cottage afterwards and IMO they didn't hold up to fox hollow. We looked at so many online and FH has been to a lot of weddings on the island we didn't need to see anymore in person.

Good luck!! I went to 30 places before deciding on Leonard's FH wanted to kill me

WOW

A bit of advice- take a book with you and write down EVERYTHING! it will all start to blend together after a while and you will not remember which place was throwing in the martini bar, or which place add the extra 1/2 hour to cocktial hour.

When you walk in you should know right away whether you want to be there or not. When you walk in is how your guests will walk in, what is your FIRST impression? And also how well do you get along with the banquet or catering manager. That will play a huge part in your decision too because if you do not get along with them, how are they possible going to help you throughout your wedding planning process??

Best of LUCK!!!

The Thatched Cottage is the most inexpensive place around. We had our wedding booked there but unfortunately my Brother is getting deployed to Iraq so we had to change venues and postpone the wedding.
So here's the kicker- A great date is now up for grabs! July 4th 2008- it's an opening for a day wedding and it's comes with a discounted price!

P.S. The Thatched Cottage has a gorgeous Gazebo for holding your ceremony which is nestled right on the beautiful Northport Harbor. Imagine the warm July sun and swans swimming by in the harbor! As an added bonus- Northport is the cutest most picturesque town to drive through so your guests will enjoy the sights on their way to your wedding. Breathtaking gardens during the summer and the main ballroom has a full wall of windows so you can enjoy the view even from the inside. Haggle with them for $65 pp if you are interested in July 4th- it's a Friday!
