Hi!! i am new to this, but I just got married last week, and to quote everyone who came, it really was the best wedding ever. i freaked out for months, so i wanted to give some advice so people dont freak out like i did during those awful planning months!!!
1. open bar- this is key!!!
2. table decorations- no one cares. i polled my guests a few hours after the wedding about what kind of table decorations i had, only one person remembered vaguely. i decided not to stress about it, got some cheap candles, and moved on. im glad i didnt spend thousands of dollars on flowers!!
3. music- this may just be the most important part of the wedding. if people like the music they will dance, if they dance they will have fun. i decided to go cheap with everything but the music, and im so glad i did. i found a band called Rhapsody, they were amazing. no one sat down the entire wedding and when the reception was over, no one wanted to leave! rhapsody actually played an extra song for us!!! this is their email [email protected] seriously, the best band ever. i am so glad i didnt get a dj. seriously people, go for it.
4. food- this is the last most important thing. old people at the wedding will do only one thing- EAT. dont waste money on a huge cocktail hour- no one eats that much. just have a regular sit down dinner or buffet, but make sure the food is good.
so here are the three things to having the best wedding ever: 1. good music 2. good food 3. open bar

Re: BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!
i got married at the hibernian hall in babylon. they just redid the place so it was nice. very inexpensive. the only problem is the cook is a big ******* and caused some drama day of wedding, so i cant say i would recommend the place for that reason. the place was nice for such a low cost though. guests had a great time, and i think having your wedding at a not so fancy venue makes people feel more relaxed and comfortable and they have a better time, there are tons of similar places on li.

Re: BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!
really?? i feel like it is such a waste of food. i mean you need hors d'heurves, but not a full buffet. but i guess if you are not trying to save money, then go for it! but it is definitely significantly cheaper if you do small cocktail hour and buffet dinner.

Ditto. I'm like a pig at a trough when it comes to the CH.

Re: BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!
I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and I endulged in the CH food. I was so full by the time I got to the reception and ate the mozzarella they gave us, along with the pasta and the salad I didn't even touch my chicken.
I did have cake and some things from her vienesse hour, but didn't even take 1 single bite off my main course and my poor friend paid for it and I know it went straight into the garbage.
I'm all for the CH, more food to choose from.
