I wouldn't like that either but from what I've seen its westchester halls that do this, most of them seem to have this policy. The other thing ive noticed is that they'll give them the choice of 2 flower vendors and they will both be expensive florists, above average
that's crazy -- and you know they must be getting a great kickback
That is truly horrible! How dare them make you use one of their vendors.
Can we say 'KICKBACK'!?!

I thought in Nassau and Suffolk this was against the law?

I think it is ridiculous when catering halls demand you use one of their vendors. I've read a lot of posts where girls have 2 choices of, say flowers, to chose from and they really don't want either or want to make sure they are getting a good deal! Whatever happened to freedom of choice? Preferred vendors are one thing but mandatory is just rude! Just had to vent on behalf of all you out there!![]()

it probably is bc i never heard of LI doing this. THe only time ive heard of Rh's doing this is in westchester and from what i've seen almost all westchester RH's do this
I agree, I went to a RH that required you use their vendors and that was a deal breaker for me. Obviously the vendors are going to charge you whatever they want cause if you want something at your wedding your gonna have to get it through them
MY RH is in westchester and doesnt require me to use any vendors but your right, most do require you to use their vendors

The Royalton does - they claim for 'insurance purposes' - but all reputable florists carry a lot of insurance!
that would seriously frustrate me.
