Tonight is my good friends wedding at Bridgeview! I am really looking forward to it. It was a venue we visited in our wedding hunt & I cant wait to see a wedding there.

I'm not a Bridgeview bride but I checked it out in my search. I loved reception room! It was so big and open and had the draped tulle ceiling! So pretty! I'm curious to know how they renovated after Sandy. Have fun!

We were really interested in having our wedding there too - we loved it! Unfortunately, they didnt have many of the dates we were looking for and said our wedding wuold have been very late since they book a lot of day time events.

The food we had was very good. (I had the filet and FH had the chilean sea bass and we loved both) The starter was a salad with a fresh mozz and tomato towere which was really good too. Bathrooms were kept clean. They used LI Sound for DJ and Photobooth and they were great. Cake was delish. They also had the sundae bar & chocolate fountain. Drink service was great. Never a line at the bar. Staff was very friendly. We had a really fun time. They had the coney island station to end the night which was fun and yummy. It was nice to munch on something while waiting for the valet.

The only things I would bring up to your BM is, make sure they tell DJ to announce any extras (if you have any) no one knew the ice cream bar/fountain was there until you happened to go to the bathroom. (the people on the side of the bathroom probably saw it but we were on the other side of the room and couldn't see it because of DJ booth) Also our table didn't get any coffee even though I asked the waitress twice. I would also mention the passed appetizers, there didn't seem to be many waiters walking around with food. I didn't even get to try one. FH got one shrimp. They had a guest list of just over 200 and I felt they should have had more people walking around.

Overall it was a great time & I think you & youre guests will be very pleased!

No prob. It will be nice too that you can go outside and enjoy the water since youre getting married in July!

Crashing...I got married on March 15 at Bridgeview and they were FANTASTIC. you will not be disappointed. I wrote a mini review on the 2013 board (title is my hockey themed wedding was fantastic) but if you have any questions FM me and I'd be happy to answer them.

EVERYONE is still talking about how great my wedding was.

I honestly don't know who he was. He was very quite the whole time. Basically didn't know there was an MC, but that may have been what they wanted. We are using Leo. And I know that it wasn't scott or chris. He was a younger guy with blonde hair.
