Hi Everyone!! I just got engaged on December 19th I heard such great things from friends about this website so I just couldn't wait to try it! I'm going to start looking at reception halls and wanted to get some suggestions. Specifically, I'm looking for a place that holds only one wedding at a time. Right now I have appointments with: North Ritz Club Milleridge Inn The Metropolitan The Carltun Carlyle on the Green De Seversky Center
Any comments on any of these?? Any other suggestions?
I've also heard that you should negotiate with them...I'm horrible at those things! Do you try to negotiate the price per person or just get them to throw in some extras?
Any help would be great!!! THANKS SO MUCH!

Welcome.... Milleridge Inn- My friend just went there and said that the food was so horrible he had top go to Taco Bell afterwards to eat. I also didn't have a good experience with them. I tried to go and look there and they were very nasty, but you can't only go on what people tell you. Go and check them all out. Good Luck

The Carlyle will work with you on their price. So will the Carltun, but they'll take items off of the menu to lower the price.

I booked with the Stewart Manor Country Club... they are only one wedding at a time. I loved them... very cozy and homey feeling--- very low-key and simple. (I am not into the mirrored walls and gaudy other decor at some other places you find on the LI). I don't know what your budget is, but what really sold me was that I got a full cocktail hour, four reception, open bar, and extras for only $52 a head. (and the food was GOOD!)
FM if you want info.
good luck to you
