In desperate need of RH suggestions...

Original post by foureyesopen

Hi Ladies!

My name is Lisa and I'm planning a wedding for April 2011. After lurking around this community for a few weeks, I've finally decided I need the advice of my fellow LI brides and brides-to-be.

When we first started the planning process, my finace, my mother and I were all in agreement about the feeling we wanted for the event: urban, minimal, chic. Unfortunately we learned very quickly that NYC venues were well beyond our budget and the style we were hoping for is in short supply on Long Island. (For reference, before we knew anything about prices, we fell in love with The Lighthouse at Pier 60)

We have visited the following venues, all of which were lovely, but for one reason or another each of us found reasons we didn't think they would work.

The Rennaisance of Astoria
Douglaston Manor
The Metropolitain
The Swan Club
Waterview Club
The Manhattan Ballroom
Temple Avodah
Temple Chaverim
Jericho Terrace
Terrace on the Park
NY Hall of Science

At this point, we've all accepted that we're not going to get everything we want, so if anyone has suggestions for RHs in NYC, Outer Boroughs or on LI that meet any aspect of our theme (urban, minimal, chic, romantic) for $100/per person or less that can accomodate 200 guests, I would love to hear them!

Thanks in advance! This community is absolutely wonderful!

I agree Woodbury Country Club sounds like it fits what you are looking for!

I agree, I think Woodbury Country Club is very chic.

Try Sunset terrace @ Chelsea Piers. It is on Pier 61 above the ice rink. It has amazing views, and I believe affordable.

i saw you were looking at Temples as well... Try the Sephardic Temple in Cedarhurst... they do FABULOUS weddings and can definatly accomodate the amount of guests you are looking to have!!!

GOOD LUCK!
