Re: Have You Been to a Wedding at? (Updated Today)

East Wind Country Gardens- nice grounds for pics..beautiful landscaping. Ceremony was outside, and all you could hear was traffic as the bride and groom exchanged vows. I felt so bad...
Cocktail hour room and ballroom are in two different buildings so you have to walk across a parking lot.
Food at the cocktail hour was great, loved the outside patio area.
Reception room has a set up that forces you to walk across the dance floor to go to the bar or use the bathroom. Dinner was great, they offered us seconds. DH's dinner was spilled into his lap by the server (this can happen anywhere though). East wind paid for the dry cleaning.

Fox Hollow (small day wedding) Ceremony outside (off parking lot) again, could hear cars driving by. Cocktail hour was small, but there was a nice variety of food. Reception was nice, good choices in food. Service was better than the last fox hollow wedding I went to.

The Inn at Eastwind-this place is huge. Cocktail hour was nice. There was a nice selection of food choices and plenty of seating area. I felt like the room lacked decor though. Nobody used the outside patio, and it was a summer day. The door wasnt opened at all. It would have been nice to go outside. The ballroom is nice. Bride and groom sit on a stage on the edge of the dance floor, so you have to walk across the floor to greet them. Bar was on the side of the room, servers did not really offer us drinks so we had to walk across a lot to get drinks. Food was delicious, and again we were offered seconds which is a nice touch.

Land's End-Picture perfect setting. This place allows you to take the most incredible pictures. It is gorgeous. We had the cocktail hour outside. We were constantly offered a variety of frozen drinks and champagne. LOVELY! I was disappointed with the amount of food at the cocktail hour. I had my wedding at FF which offers a similar menu and I remember having a lot more food. I actually left the cocktail hour hungry...Ballroom is gorgeous. Servers were fantastic, kept bringing me full glasses of champane all night! Dinner was so delicious. Truly and elegant affair.

Meadow club-ok this was a really big wedding at the meadow club. The cocktail hour room was soooo tight. Food was good, but could hardly move around to get any. Bathroom was located downstairs which was not conveinent. Ballroom was night, but again overcrowded. I noticed that an engaged couple was getting a tour of the meadow club during my friends reception...I did not like this at all! Dance floor was a good size, we had a great time.

Terrace on the Park: Loved having the cocktail hour on the patio overlooking queens and shea stadium. Great food at the cocktail hour, plenty of drinks. Reception room was a nice size, however you did feel the floor vibrate from time to time. Servers did not bring us drinks really, so we had to get up a lot. Dinner was yummy.

THE ESTATE AT EAST WIND- I went to a wedding there after we booked it...I made sure I payed attention to every detail...The food was amazing!!!!!!! The service was awesome!!! The bathrooms are soooo clean and smelled soooo good!!!! It was decorated for Christmas when we went and it was absolutely breathtaking!!! 2 bartenders for the whole reception which was a big thing for me...I don't want my guests to have to wait on long lines for drinks like I have done at other weddings when there was only one bartender...Plenty of waiters and waitresses...In my opinion, East Wind is such a magical place!!!!

I was not impressed with them at all. The rooms were nice. The garden is beautiful. The cocktail hour was outside. It was ok. I think that had more to do with the food that the B & G picked. The dinner itself was partially chilly when it shouldn't have been. We were in a smaller split level garden room and I noticed gnats flying inside. That totally turned me off. Then, when the dj finished playing the last song, the crew was inside vacuuming and taking tables away before anybody could get out. They scheduled the parties so close together that there were people outside waiting to get in the room as we were leaving and the crew were cleaning up (and I mean like 30-35 people).

I had the same experience last July for a Sunday wedding. The grounds were absolutely breathtaking, but the other weddings and the cleaning up within seconds of the last dance turned me off, but maybe they do that everywhere.

I went to a wedding at the Thatched Cottage in June 04 - Friday night.

The service was PHENOMENAL! our waitor came outside to the 'smoking area' to refill our drinks. He was amazing! The ground were beautiful, and the inside was quit lovely too. Everything seemed to go off very well and the B&G had a great time, which is really what it's all about anyway :)
