I'm brand new to this site, so I wanted to say a quick hello.
My fiance and I just got engaged on 4/3. We were originally going to wait a month to start planning, but I just learned that half the places I want only have one or two dates left in my time frame (Sept - Oct 2010).
So, I've made appointments to look at the following places this weekend:
Carlyle on the Green Royalton at Roslyn Country Club Inn at New Hyde Park Carltun at Eisenhower Harbor Links at P. Washington
Does anyone have thoughts or a review of any of these places? Also, this will be our first time visiting a RH, so what are some good questions to keep in mind?
Thanks so much! Look forward to meeting /chatting with everyone on here.

Re: Hello!
Congrats and welcome!!!!!!
ive only been to the carltun out of those rh's, and i wasnt that thrilled with what we were getting for that price (dont want to offend anyone who booked JMO!!), i felt like everything was extra (which is annoying for the price they charge), and the decor was ok, the one thing that i thought it had going for itself was the outside cocktail hour patio thing and the grounds
p.s they charge extra for valet parking as well!! grrr
eta: but still go check it out, you may end up loving it!

Re: Hello!
Congrats and WELCOME! I think it's a good thing to get the RH booked and then to wait a little before planning. I was looking for September-October of 2010 and there were so many dates already taken!!

Congrats and welcome! Of those halls I only looked at the Carltun and didnt like it. I thought it was wayy overpriced for what you got. Nothing spectacular IMO. Good luck!

Re: Hello!
Thanks for all of the replies and welcomes! I've been sitting at the airport for 3.5 hours, so this has certainly helped the time go by.
I have 3 appointments this Sunday, and will post some updates after.

Re: Hello!
I'm having my reception at Carlyle!!!!!!!!!!
I went to a wedding there about a year ago and fell in love with the staff, hall, and DEF the food (mmm... gnocci!) I'm also a Sept 2010 bride.
oh, just a tip, if it's posible check out the weekend i'm getting married Sept 17-19. It's Yum Kippur weekend so you should be able to play around with prices a little bit.
