My Fiance and I are having the hardest time, finding the 'right' venue. At first, my mother and I were looking around, but after I narrowed it down and we picked completely different places, I figured it was best to start looking together.
We want to stay on a budget up to $150 a plate. I don't want to get married at a wedding factory, either. We're from Queens, and don't want someplace that is more than an hour away (that's the max). Does anyone have any suggestions? I need HELP!

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
i would recommend the Inn @ NHP, my sister got married there last December and it was really nice. They just re-did the entire thing and the food was great too. I've also been to nice weddings at Russo's on the Bay but i think they do more than 1 wedding at a time.

The Royalton Mansion! It's gorgeous only one wedding at a time...it's so cozy and you make it your own the day of your wedding.

If you are willing to venture into the city - check out the W hotel. (modern and trendy)

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
Anything in Suffolk County is going to be a hike from Queens. My parents live in Queens and they expressly preferred I pick a RH in Queens or Nassau County. I ruled out many places in Suffolk because of that.
Secondly, what is your budget and how adamant are you at booking a RH that is a '1 wedding only a day' deal? Very few halls have a 1 wedding event deal each day. I really don't like that my RH is considered a 'wedding factory' but after visiting many RH's and comparing prices, menus, packages and locations, I thought it was the best deal....
so def need more details..

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
Hey if that's your budget you have SO many beautiful options... The Hilton-Huntington for about $115/plate you can get WAYYYY more than u want! I am diong my wedding there... The only thing is it's a canvas! so if you are spending on lighting and decor, u'll love it!
Leonards is so elegant-i heard good and bad review but in Great Neck..Very CLASSY italian look But I also hear that your wedding isnt the only one at the same time...
Marriott-Uniondale very overpriced.
Chateau Briand! gorgeous in Westbury
GOOD LUCK

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
I am getting married at Water's Edge in Long Island City, definitely in your budget and IMO, an amazing venue that is very different from most places and has views and that you can't get elsewhere. Definitely not a wedding factory either!
FM me if you'd like more info!

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
Can anyone offer any insight to the location of Inn At New Hyde Park? I've seen pictures of weddings held there and it looks beautiful. But looking at the location on Google Maps it seems like it's in a low commercial shopping area? Perhaps the map image is from before the renovation but I don't see a lot of greenery. Also how do you like their coordinators?

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
I visited Inn at NHP a few months ago, its a very nice place but you are correct that its in a mostly commercial area. There is no greenery whatsoever.
Its right down the road from Floral Terrace and if you have been to Russo's on the Bay in Howard Beach, its the same set-up. Basically a large building on a commercial plot of land. My mom came with me and immediately said she didn't like the hall because the parking situation looked like a nightmare (they do have a large lot but realistically, the street parking is just not ideal).
Its basically along Jericho Turnpike and there is literally a Burger King, Taco Bell, and Dunkin Donuts w/in a 1/2 mile distance of the RH. Plus, theres a LOT of 2 way traffic on that road so I really didn't like that you could whiz pass the RH and not even notice you passed it...
Inside however, its really gorgeous.

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
I guess I'm a little biased, but you should check out Glen Island Harbor Club. 2 weddings can go on at the same time, but each wedding has a seperate entrance so you will never see the bride or the other wedding.
FYI: The website does not do it justice, so I recommend going to take a look. It's in New Rochelle, so it is not that far from Queens.
Congrats and Good Luck!!!

Re: Can't Pick a Venue!!
I am biased but I have to say the Inn at New Hyde Park. I am from Queens too so I didnt want to go too far out. The prices are good and you get a LOT for the money.
Definitely check them out! And book fast cause they are booked up over a year in advance!
I just read your post about the area. Yea its not in the best area as far as greenery but that was our ONLY reservation about the place. They have a beautiful garden with gazebo in the back and honestly once u walk inside you forget all about the outside.

I responded to your other post about the Inn. You really need to look at the place, it is off a main road, but when you are in the place, you would never know. The place is so big and the grounds are beautiful! I recommend that if you interested in the slightest, you go see for yourself. The food, service and decor are wonderful. Good luck!

I completely agree with this! It is palatial inside - when you are in the ballroom, you would never know you are on a main road. The parking situation is certainly NOT a nightmare. They invested millions of dollars builing an underground parking garage and cars are promptly valeted, which is included in the price. I could go on and on about a million reasons what sets the Inn above the rest, IMO, but FM me if you have questions. I have been to events at many other places too and would recommend the Royalton or North Ritz - both also one wedding at a time. GL!

check out the royalton, inn at new hyde park, the woodlands, some of the other mansions.... hth xo
FH didn't like the woodlands ( i loved it), he thought it was too old and 'depressing.' I called Royalton and for a Saturday in 2011, they quoted me at $180++ (way out of budget). I called The INN and they quoted at $130-160++
I might have to go with Crest Hollow... this is sooo stressful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
