Help me pick a RH

Help me pick a RH

Let me give you a description of what I want...

Outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with no traffic going by
Water like a lake or the ocean or bay (but no boats like a dock), grassy fields, lots of places to take pictures
Pretty inside (nothing Victorian or too girly)

Can't do Chateau La Mer bc my sister/MOH got married there and can't do Vineyard Caterers bc my SIL/BM got married there.

Wanted to do a vineyard but I think its too much money especially with the site fees!

I went to East Wind but it was too $$ and its was so Victorian decorated. I want like almost hippy - fairy tale - fantasy.
I also went to Flowerfield. I loves the inside for cocktail hour but wouldnt want my ceremony there in case of rain and wasn't that impressed with the outdoor ceremony area and it was $$ as well.

Am I being too cheap? We have a guest list of 175.

I think we can pay up to $100 per person before tax and gratuity.

ADVICE WANTED

Did you try Thatched Cottage or the Old Field Club? What about the Riviera?

Re: Help me pick a RH

do you have more of an idea of price range....and by water...does it have to be either bay or sea or sound???? or do fountains and pools count??

Re: Help me pick a RH

It sounds like Lands End would fit your view, but i'm not sure if it's victorian and what your price range is

Land's End is def. more expensive than East Wind...I think that the Old Field Club would have what you are looking for...

check out lands end and crescent beach club. they're pricier than east winds, but worth it. i'm happen to favor crescent beach. . .

That Lady at Atlantica quoted me $200 pp for a Sat in September and that's not even with a great cocktail hour...Couldn't believe it....

yeah, you're almost solely paying for the beach at atlantica. believe me, if i could've afforded it, i totally would have. but it was waaaaaaaay out of our budget. it was beautiful though!!!

I second Land's End if it fits your budget! Check out Venetian Yacht Club maybe?

I'm getting married at the swan club, the prices are really reasonable and it's beautiful there.
The coctail hr food is inside but everything is open so when you get the food most people sit outside.
My pictures are too big to post on here but if you click on my profile I have pictures in there.
