Sans Souci is a great place, but I love anything run by the Scotto Brothers. I'm stuck between Sans Souci and Fox Hollow.

Re: girls can I have your thoughts...

I got married at the Sans Souci so I am biased. I thought the food was excellent and I love the atmosphere.

Re: girls can I have your thoughts...

I know nothing about the 3 West Club, but of the others you mentioned I would go with Sans Souci because it is the only one of the bunch that is limited to ONE affair at a time. No sharing with other brides, retirement dinners, fundraising dinners, b-day parties etc.

Re: girls can I have your thoughts...

thanks!! 3 West is also one wedding at a time or one affair, FH loves the big catering hall/ wedding factory feel , lol

Re: girls can I have your thoughts...

The only one we looked at your both your lists is the GWM. I absolutely loved it but it was too small for the amount of people we will have. I just love the history of it and the whole feel of the place. The reception room is so simple and elegant and the food is incredible. Have you gone for a tasting? It's a free dinner (including drinks - just tip your servers).

I went to a wedding at the Westbury Manor. We had a great time. It's a gorgeous place, especially at night.

I like San Souci and Westbury, Although I've never been to 3 West Club.

I'm nervous about transportation & timing that's the only thing about the city but it would be great!

Re: girls can I have your thoughts...

I've been to weddings and other events at San Souci. I don't know if they just tried to cram too many ppl in there, b/c I felt like the tables were on top of each other. Food was good though.

Re: girls can I have your thoughts...

I was on the fence with Sans Souci for a few weeks. But I ended up going with Fox Hollow. I just loved the atmosphere. Sans Souci - although I loved that it was by the water, I thought it was a bit out of the way for people and sort of hard to find. Plus I was going to be having my ceremony there and didn't like that if it rained the ceremony would be right there in the room where you have the reception. Plus, if it was outdoors I heard older people might have trouble getting down to the cocktail hour. Soooo...those were my main reasons for not choosing it. Otherwise, it was quite nice. As for your other choices, I've been to weddings or other events and they were all nice. The only place I've never been was 3 West Club. So I don't really have an opinion about that. In the end, just pick the place you get the best feeling from. Just look at the pros and cons.
