Rennassiance in Queens, or George Washington Manor?

At first we were going to rule out Gerorge Washington B/c of a rude BM @ Milleridge but now we're debating...

Can I pull off a black tie affair at either place?

Re: Has anyone been to or had their wedding at:

I attended a wedding at GW Manor, and I really disliked it, it was way too small. I have never been to amore uncomfortable cocktail hour, the room was so small we weren't even able to get trhu the crowd to get food, I think that they had plan to open up what looked like a balcony but it was pouring so everyone had to stay indoors. It def left a bad impression on me, also the room where the recption was held was small, but comfortable. Also one thing I really dislike is the fact that the bar is in a seperate room, so at anytime during the night half the party was in another room.

And you know its bad when my FH comments on had bad it was cause he never notices things like that. JMO HTH

I have been to a wedding at the GWM and I really liked it. The food was good and the room is beautiful. The entire room is windows and it looks out onto beautifully manicured lawns and gardens. The room is small but if you're having 90- 110 guests it's the perfect size. We had a great time at the wedding we attended there.

The only time the bar is in another room is if the bride and groom request it that way.. otherwise the bar is in the same room

No, the bar is in the ballroom.

I have never heard of the place in Queens...but the GWM is really nice! It is owned by the same people who own the Millerage

Hi,

I got married at the Milleridge, and I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I think some of the spaces could work for black tie either there or at George Washington (we looked there also, but I didn't like the room they offered us for our small wedding).

My review was on The Bride's Review under this name:

There are also some photos in my album, though I haven't gotten around to rescanning them, so the sizing is off.

FM me if you have questions--I'm curious who the BM was that you dealt with.

Im curious as to why a rude BM at the Milleridge would effect your decision for the GWM, they are two different buildings, with two different offices, and as far as I was told, they are now two completely separate business. Im hihly considering them, so I want to know the good the bad and the ugly!!

My cousin had his wedding at the Renaissance it was a beautiful place but he had a big wedding and it's not a big place to hold 150 ppl. Half the guest were sitting at the top level and were watching down to the dance floor by 10:30 all the guest that were sitting upstairs were gone. Since it was a big wedding the staff was limited. There were times when we went to the bar and there was no one there. We had to serve our own drinks. If your having a 100 ppl or less then this place is ok if you're having more then that I say look somewhere else.

They are owned by the same family and I want someone to care at the place we book!! I manage a restaurant, and handel our private parties, I guess I just want the same care i put in to all the parties at my restaurant. I ensure that the evening goes along seemlessly and I calm the or the host neves as we lead up to the day, if need be. I am always concerned about booking the affairand that my client is happy, I felt as though the BM from Milleridge couldn't be less concerned w/ our wedding b/c we're small (under 150) and she was telling us that George Washington Manor would be more suited for us...

We live in Jericho We go to Milleridge Village, for the bread & Jam Shoppe and the other cute little places it's a place that's close to home & familiar, I was really excited about it and left being really dissapointed
