1. I didn't get a food tasting before I booked it but only because I've been there before for a party and the food was great. I did go for food tasting after I booked it, but they only let you taste the cocktail hour! Just to keep that in mind.
2. I think they have 4 or 5 parties going on at the same time but from what I heard is that the brides never saw each other. I think they are pretty good with this task.
3. I will be taking pictures at either old westbury garden, planting field in oyster bay or sands point in port washington.
4. There's really no garden but a small, small area next to the parking lot (?). This is another reason why I'm going to another place for pictures. They do have nice backgrounds in door for pictures.
5. I'm not sure how much vienesse hr is.....I want to say $10-$14/pp, but don't quote me on that
6. This was the hot topic everyone was talking about. I thought it was included. I guess it really depends on the BM you speak to. I remember it clearly that it should be included, but I don't think it's on the contract. I'm going to argue for it when it's time for me to finalize everything with Leonard's.
7. the place cards will be on the table near the entrance for your cocktail hour room. One thing about leonard's is that they don't allow anything in their hallways....
Heheh...don't worry...these were the questions that I had as well when I was trying to find a venue. I know how you feel because FH husband and I also looked at over 10 place before we landed on Leonard's. I was very stressed out in the beginning of this wedding planning process, but I decided to take a breather because I know no matter what happens, it'll be the best day of my life!!!!!!! let me know if you need any help!!!!!
Happy Planning!!!![]()

now im concerned because on another post that i asked a question about the parties and if it gets crowded some ppl said yes that it is too hectic with the different parties going on and the food is a concern because even though i know ppl that have said they liked it some ppl on here have heard mixed things...im italian and both of our families are and food is a big thing to us lol...i dont know what to do
hey whatever happened to your date, find anyone to replace it ??
no - way too many variables involved. it alomost happened but no cigar. we've invested so much at this point that now the safest route is to take the financial hit and be wise about other spending matters. we are most likely going to take our vacation at another time. we really wanted it now but the date switch thing didn't work. not going on a honeymoon right after helped a whole lot with this situation and we were able to get the full refund for that.

Hi. I'm still considering Leonard's as my third choice. My first two being Larkfield Manor and Westbury Manor. I was just curious how many people does the Empire room hold? I'm having about 50-60 people and I don't want the room to be too big. What do your guys think, will my guests be floating around in a room that's too big? I want it to be kinda cozy. That was one of my concerns when I looked there. Thanks!
