HI! I just got engaged 2 weeks ago and my finance and I are hoping for a September 2010 wedding. Looking at this site I already feel so overwhelmed! Does anyone have any suggestions for catering halls. I only want 1 wedding at a time and don't really want a catering hall. I would love to do it at a mansion or something like that! Thanks for your help!!!

Welcome and Congrats....

There are alot of mansion type locations on LI.

The Lessings group has a few

Glen Cove Mansion, Garden City Hotel, Oheka Castle

It totally depends on your amount of guests, and your budget

Re: Help

congrats on your engagement!!!

don't feel overwhelmed you have plenty of time!!!

i may be biased bc I am booked there, but if you are looking for a one-wedding at a time rh with a mansion feel def check out the Woodlands! The grounds and hall are beautiful...it is a mansion from 1928 on a 120-acre golf-course. The food is delicious and everyone that works there has been great!!!

good luck!

Re: Help

Please don't limit yourself to looking @ places that only do 1 wedding at a time.

I always said I wanted a place that only does 1 wedding, but when I looked @ The Swan Club I fell in love. You may miss alot of beautiful places and limit yourself timewise if you want a solo place.

ita - at first i had to have a venue with only 1 wedding, but i ended up with one that does 2.

congrats and welcome!

welcome and congrats!!!

i would say you and the fh (future hubby) should decide on what kind of feel you want your wedding to have.....elegant, modern, chic, etc...then figure out a bidget and go from there...some place charge 65pp++ and others upwards of 200pp++ but we are all here to help!!!!!! there is a recpetion finder on this site to help you look thru all the halls...and we are a very resourceful group of ladies (and gents)...

Welcome and congrats!

I also only wanted one wedding at a time. I checked out the following:

North Ritz Club (where I booked )
DeSeversky Center
Woodlands

And of course there's always Oheka, if it fits in your budget

Welcome and congrats...

Just a heads up, If you are going to register any time soon, and want to do macys, they gave us a Weddings sites and services Magazine for free (you can also buy it at places like borders).

That was my guide to eliminating and choosing places to look at / start with.

Good luck in your planning

Congrats on the engagement!

I know what you mean about feeling overhelmed! I just got enaged last weekend so I understand! This seems like a great site and so far a lot of brides have given me some good advice!

Re: Help

Giorgio's only does one wedding at a time. The location is beautiful...golf course on one side and beach on the other. You also work directly with the owners which I love! FM me if you want more info. I have had a great experience working with them so far!

I may be biased as well but from what you say you are looking for The Woodlands is definitely worth checking out. I was looking for similar things for my reception and I fell in LOVE with The Woodlands. It's absolutely gorgeous!
