Calling All Brides!

Original post by FutureMrsC23

Hi everyone!

I am newly engaged, and brand new to the LIW site. Many of my friends have used the help of other brides on here in the past so I am hoping some of you can help me as well :)I look forward to chatting with you!

I am starting to look into reception locations and I could really use some recommendations. I am having a bit of a hard time finding places to look into that fit what I would like.

Here's what I'm looking for:
a beautiful/elegant reception hall,
great food,
on or near the water (for water views),
Long Island preferable, but am not opposed to Queens or Brooklyn,
Will need to accomodate appx 200-225 guests,
Doesn't break the bank (does that even exist? lol).

We are looking into a Spring 2014 wedding and will be having our ceremony in a church, so the RH does not need to have a ceremony space.

Thank you all in advance for your help/recommendations. This is such an exciting time and I can't wait to hear what you all have to say!!!

Bridgeview Yacht Club- I really loved them. I wanted to book there but they did not have my date available. I meet with Kathy she was very helpful.

Venetian Yacht Club- I loved them from the moment I saw the pictures online. I really love it and it's beautiful. The view is amazing. The service is also good. I know I will have a wonderful wedding.

Waterview Club- I liked it; the view is beautiful. Not sure if it's big enough for the amount of people you will have but it's worth visiting. Especially since they do a food tasting during the first visit and the food is good.


Good luck!!! Have fun with the planning. It's a good thing you're looking now. I started at the end of last year and booked in November for my May 2013 wedding. Everyone thought I was crazy for looking early but time will fly. Although my wedding is not until next year I'm starting to feel the pressure with planning and booking vendors.


i totally agree w/ the last part!!!

Hands down, Land's end is exactly what you are looking for. Lombardi's on the Sound OR Bay depending on how many people you are having.
