then keep looking and dont book thats all i can really offer as advise because CB is one of the best venues on LI especially for the price. All i know is they are constently updating things there to make it fit in their new atmospher.

I was just there last night with my friend and I thought it was gorgeous, she's considering it for her wedding even though the price was a bit higher than we both thought it would be...I do agree...the carpet in the Saturnia room was a little questionable but no one's going to even notice that when the place is packed!

Here are a few pictures I took while I was there...their Christmas decorations are insane!

yea the ball room in my opinion needs updating that is where I am going to be most of my night and want to be totally in love with it.. and that I am not.. the outside and everything else is totally amazing.. that I would have to say..


and I didnt book I reserved a date I have not signed anything..

REALLY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that feelling i want to be like this when I see the right place..

do u mind sending me a FM with the quotes u were given?

I was told by the GM that the Santuria room was being updated extremly soon and that it was going to be done before my wedding in March.

Have you seen Saturnia with 12-14 tables? You cannot see the red/yellow swirl design in the carpet. Although the red and yellow swirl is large, it is in the center of the carpeted area, which gets almost completely covered by tables. When the room is full with tables, all you really see is solid navy blue. This is something I actually appreciated about the Saturnia. The carpet is no where near as bad as some I have seen at other halls. I found the Saturnia's carpet to be the least overwhelming.

The Saturnia is going to be updated after the holidays. The wooden walls around the room are going to be 'lightened up' to look something like it currently does behind the sweetheart table. They are also installing curtains along the mirrored walls so that uplighting can be used. If you prefer the mirrors, the curtains can be pulled aside. It sounds like they are going for a lighter/more neutral look. I cannot wait to see it when it's done!!

I hope they change the back of the sweetheart table. I mean it looks really nice but it's hard to match with colors othen than silver, ivory, and gold. My colors are eggplant and dusty rose.
