Hey DM Brides,
My fiance and I are seriously looking into booking at Douglaston, but were a little concerned about the size. When we checked it out, they were set up for an anniversary party of less than 100.
I was just wondering if any of you have been to a wedding there. Also we are probably going to end up with 165-175. Do you think there will be enough room on the dance floor with that many tables set up?
Thanks,
Tami

Re: Douglaston Manor Brides....

Yea there aren't many reviews.
There are even less for the royalton.
I think once some brides get married they just abandon LIW.

I recently went to a wedding there. Its a very nice place, alot of drappings and cyrstals. We had to wait almost a half an hour because they hadnt set up the cocktail hour yet but the CH food was really good.

I didnt like the way the room was set up, they had an open section because there had alot of guests so it was like some of the guests were in a totally separate room from the rest of the guests, kinda like an L shape.

Bad part was the main course, I had the chicken, it smelled bad but I ate it anyways and the next day I barfed my brains out

I went to a christmas charity their with my company. The place is pretty. There was about 230 people there and I'm not going to lie we were tight. I think it has to do with the shape of the room. Plus, I think where the DJ was set up it made it worse. That was the only thing I really did not care about. Otherwise it's a nice hall. Maybe do a search on The Knot for more reviews?
