Any ideas on where I should start looking!?

It has to fit at least 200 ppl and have amazing food that will please your typical old school italians who are all about the food. lol

Thanks in advance.. You ladies are great help & I would be lost without you! So thank you!

I looked at over 20 halls. Of them my top two favorite were Jericho Terrace (my hall) and Chateau Briand.

Try Fox Hollow... it holds up to 300 and my mom said the food was excellent. Their pricing might be better in November too!

Good Luck!!!!!

Ok, you definitely will want to check out Lombardi's on the Sound in Port Jeff...

We went to check it out yesterday, very pretty grounds, very nice decor inside as well and a pretty drive all the way up. Oh, and it's only one wedding at a time!!!

Let me tell you the book you get of food to choose from is unbelievable!!! We met with Charles and he was very nice, not pushy at all. Not to mention that they are now doing a Winter Wedding Special that they have now opened up to November dates. Basically, get ready for this, 75pp for a Fri OR Sat night!!!! So I'm sure a Sunday would be even cheaper!

The only reason we didn't go with them was we weren't sure with our guest list if people were going to fit comfortably-they fit around 225 I think and we're currently around 265 so we didn't want to take the chance.

I have an authentic Italian family too so I was really disappointed when I heard the number of people they hold because I knew people would rave about the food quality AND quantity! But it really sounds like a place that would work for you! ENJOY!!!

okay awesome thank you so much for the information =] i am making my list for places to call tomorrow and make appointments!! =]

Someone mentioned Villa Lombardi's - they do have awesome food & an amazing reputation. I see you're looking to get married on a Sunday in November? Definitely check out Lombardi's on the Sound - the Port Jeff Country Club. They have an amazing winter package going on, which they extended to November - you could book for less than $80 per head.

really?!? omg I definetly wanna check it out!!

I'm partial to L-O-T-S but they do have amazing Italian food and A LOT of it (200 ppl may be tight though)! As someone else mentioned, they opened a new place Lombardi's on the Bay in Patchogue & the ballroom is absolutely beatuful! But it cannot hold more than I'd say 140 people comfortably ...that might even be tight.

For your size wedding, I'd say you're better off at Russo's. GL!
