Hi girlies!!

I'm a newly engaged happy heart taking all of this in!! I just wanted to introduce myself ad say hi :) My fiance (I love saying that) and I are reallllly hoping to have a BIG backyard wedding...basically, make my parents huge yard into a hall with tents, lights, etc...We had a WONDERFUL company come over to measure (NY Tents) and we are anxiously waiting for their proposal which we should have tomorrow...(we had a few nightmare tent companies come as well) We also have looked at 'beachy' venues as well like The Crescent Beach Club (our fav so far), Bridgeview, Carlile on the Green, The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow Park, and a few others. But we are praying the backyard thing works out!!

I'm excited to be here on this site, and I look forward to all of the planning with you all. Happy wedding!!

PS- If anyone has pulled off a BIG backyard wedding on Long Island, feel free to share!! Id loveee to hear experiences with tents, bathrooms, electric, etc!!!

-Annie :)

Re: I'm a newbee :)

congratulations! I too wanted a big backyard wedding but with no one I know having a voluptuous backyard, I had to put down the idea even though I do LOVE my venue :) so congrats! If you have pinterest I have an account with a lot of back yard ideas.
