Douglaston Manor

I had the same experience with the room next door being way to close & loud. I also thought the foyer was too busy - entrance to building for all guests plus stairs up to bathrooms and bridal suites all in a very small area (Created a lot of commotion) HOWEVER...the food was delicious and the cocktail area outside was very pretty (right on the golf course) and it didnt stop us from having a good time. Please weigh your decision based on what you think is important. It varies for each of us :o) Good luck.

I highly recommend them, ask for Dawn if you go. Tell her you spoke to Debby (the girl with the "big guy").. She also mentioned that they have a bayshore store that also sells used tuxedos around 200 dollars.. depending on whats available. Either I got really lucky..or this is one of the better tuxedo places..the guys got a good price, and my Timothy looked sooo good! I'm getting excited now!!! 3 months to go!

Nicky- I like your attitude! Instead of getting upset or defensive about the less that positive comments posted about your hall of choice, you are looking for the solution. What a great way to be :o) I too had posted a few "dislikes" about DM but the room we were in was the one on the ground floor with the tree in it. Very pretty but there was that music from the affair next door that was mainly a nuisance when we were sitting at the table (we were close). I didnt even know they had a room upstairs. The food was delicious.I had the chicken francaise which was wonderful! The waitress service was less than stellar (waitress missed 1/2 our table for the pasta course) but I think it was partly because they tried to fit too many tables in the room. That was my experience at one wedding. I hope yours is an amazing one. Best wishes

Just wanted to ask, are you guys tipping the DJ, Photo, Video guys? I was thinking about it, and $50 isn't that much, since we pay like 1500 - 1800 for them. More than that we can't afford, to give them. We going to buy them food, which I think it's important and I wouldn't change that. Any feedback, how you going to do it is appriciated. Thanks
