The only thing I can say Is i love Russos on the bay they were wonderful in every aspect. I have already done a mini food tasting and every1 we tell that we booked russos say its a wonderful place to have the party. Im not too sure about floral but im positive its a great choice as well.

What exactly is causing you to be stuck between the 2?

based on what you just said there, I would go with Floral Terrace. It seems like they are giving you more for your money. The place is gorgeous. Do a search for some reviews on Floral Terrace.

ughh... like... i know that russos is a def place for food and service..i dont know about floral but i like that its only one wedding at a time... the only thing i like about floral is what they have to offer and the main ballroom..thats it, but like i said again, they have more to offer for the price.

I think you should do what you feel. Perosnally just by what you explained your gonna have a wow wedding with either place. If one has more to offer at a less cost then take it. Trust me your wedding will be wow either way. I hope this helps.
maybe if you stuck between the 2 still you should do a food tasting to see first hand what the food and service is like at both places you know? I can offer you hope that once you book the RH everything else is cake. fm if you still stuck i have no problem trying to help.

I would go with Floral Terrace. Both places are beautiful, but $20 pp is a lot, and you can use that money to add more WOW factors if you want.

maybe you should try looking at previus boards from previous brides. Maybe that will help you.

I have heard wonderful things about both. I personally have only been to Russos and loveeeed it!

I also have heard wonderful things about both but have only been to Floral Terrace and the service and food was outstanding. FH's cousin is getting married there in September and so far they have had a wonderful experience with them.

i have never been to floral terrace but it sounds like you are getting a lot more for your money. i have been to russos though and the food and service is great. good luck in your decision!

Hello welcome and congrats! Don't think that I am much help to you, I booked Vetro the new Russo's. I'm a stickler for food and service and have never heard anything bad about them. My wedding is considerably smaller in comparison to yours that's why I booked Vetro. I wish you luck. FM me if you need any info.

Floral terrace is beautiful as is russo's, I actually almost booked with floral terrace but it was so long of a drive for us and I didn't want to do that to my guests but that place is absolutely amazing and the free trip to greece was awesome, just think that'll you'll already be saving thousands on your HM. and like someone posted before you are planning on having a HUGE wedding so 20 more dollars per person is def. going to add up. But of course it's totally up to you, just do some more research and go with what you and FH love!! Good Luck!!

i booked russo's for a number of reasons but the most important was their rep for food and service and that it was really close to home (having a sunday night wedding)..... it was a little over our budget (and with all the add ons now its def over lol) but i loved everything about it!! i checked out floral terrace too and i thought it was nice but it just wasnt for us and didnt really have the factors i was looking for in a catering hall.

i know russo's is a bit pricey and if your guest list is around 300 and you have a tight budget i would go with floral terrace.... you can spice up your wedding so much more with the money you'd be saving, it depends on your situation though, I LOVE RUSSOS so if you can do it go for it!

Think of it this way too.....you said your guest list is a minimum of 350....so 350 x $20 savings = $7000!!! If you don't mind spending an extra $7k, then go for it.....but on the other hand think of all the extras you can do for $7k!!

No, they don't have pics, (I know crazy) it's suppose to look like the other Russos, where the CH is on the Terrace.

LOL..I also booked for the convenience (among other reasons) of location, I'm right down the block.

FH & I both went to weddings at Floral Terrace and Russo's and honestly we like Floral Terrace better. The service was better. The set up of the reception & cocktail room was more detailed. On top of that Floral Terrace only have one wedding at a time which is great. You would save more money if you choose Floral Terrace. The extra money you can use it in another area for the wedding.
