I am a Newbie to LIW

Original post by Lisafer1973

Hello ladies! I am recently engaged (5 days) Been dreaming of this for so long and I thought I would be so organized and I have no idea where to start! The only thing I know is that we want to get married next summer! So, I am praying that my fellow brides will help!

Is there any place I can go to get some prices for catering halls? I don't want to have to go to each of them.

Thanks!!

Lisa

Congrats and Welcome!!!!!!! yaaaaay! well first i would say just enjoy being engaged for a little while :) THEN go find ur hall! after your hall is booked, then everything else can be done. I HIGHLY reccomend picking up the 'Locations Sites & Services' magazine....u can find it at most large magazine stands(in eckerds, cvs etc.) in the bridal section...Borders carries it as well - It lists every single reception venue in New York, what they offer, TONS of photos, and their price ranges(some even list their menus!)...its a great way to find what ur looking for and narrow down all the best & happy planning! anything else just post away

I got a magazine Newsday, Long Island Weddings. It has pages and pages of rhs and info for each of them. It says that Leonard's is $55 and up. I heard that they put their cheapest prices in the books to get people in so you should estimate a little higher. Good luck!

Congrats on your engagement!!! And welcome!



The first few days are wonderful --- I agree with the girls who have suggested you relax and enjoy it when you can. It's easy to get caught up in the details and forget a little about the love and the happiness of the engagement.

That being said, Wedding Sites and Services is a great place to get price ideas.

Good luck and happy planning (but don't start yet!)
