How Long Did It Take You To Throughly View....

Depends on the size of the venue and the person you meet with. Some BMs can be friendly and informative, while others I found couldn't be bothered. We saw 20 places, and we spent about 1.5-2 hrs at each place... except maybe 5...where we spent 30-45 min. tops. Sometimes you just know when its not for you.

I grouped places in the same area together when we went looking. Check out Weddingsitesandservices for a map of LI venues to show you the proximity. It saves a bunch of time.
