It's time for suggest a hall once again!

Original post by MrHostility

I'll list all the places I have been, you list a place I should go. The only rules are I have 100 people, and it has to be under $110 a plate w/ tax and tip. It would likely be in Sept-December, and has to be at night. Pref Sat, Fri, Sun, in that order. Also, I really am not a fan of old styling, like Westbury Manor, for example. We're more into stuff like Villa Lombardi, Jericho Terrace, Larkfield...

Nassau:
Coral House - Not us
Crest Hollow CC - Prom was there, I'd like elsewhere
Fox Hollow - Was a top choice, a few issues though
Jericho Terrace - Was a top choice, a few issues
Leonard's - Nice, but almost too much
Lido Golf - Heard bad stuff
Manor East - Not us, at all
North Ritz - Minimum issues
Riviera - Lady is a b**** to deal with
Sand Castle - FW did not like it, I thought it was ok
Milleridge - Cocktail and Dinner same room....no
Westbury Manor - Not my style at all
Woodbury CC - Eh
Floral Terrace - Minimum people issue

Suffolk:
Atlantica - Minimum and Price
Beach Club - Heard horrible things, enough to say no
Chateu La Mer - Not for us
Eastwind - FW didn't like it at all, I thought it was ok
Georgios - Minimum issues
Larkfield Manor - One of the top choices, small cocktail room
Majestic Gardens - Been there, not overly impressed, but nice
Mediterranean Manor - Not us
The Meadow Club - Cocktail room was eh...
Thatched Cottage - Heard it might go under
Villa Lombardi - Top choice, issues with minimums
Watermill - Cousin married here, FW dislikes it
Windows On The Lake - Look at Beach Club comment

I know I'm a pain in the ass with this stuff at this point, but I'm struggling here.

Places we will likley visit, Chateu Briand, Swan Club...

GET CREATIVE. What does she think makes it 'not romantic' (I have never been there so I don't know what it looks like)? If you like everything else about the place, then MAKE the room romantic yourself with decorations, candles, lighting, etc...


We'll, it's really that the room is very wood, almost cold feeling. I noticed it too, but I don't mind it as much. I guess we have a hard time visualizing things beyond what we see. I almost wish I took my camera to take snapshots of the room, and edit stuff into them to see what it looks like.

I hear you about the visualizing, I am the same way. Luckily I have my mom who can repeatedly make something from nothing...

Think about it though, my FSIL told me a friend of hers totally redid a room and the owners of the place really liked her ideas and incorporated them into future events…

Minimum is too high, but it was a very nice looking place when we stopped by.

I have no idea how much it is But I recently went to a wedding at Carlyle on the Green that was lovely.

what about any of the college campuses? NYIT has a reception hall and I think Post does too.

I had the same problem that you seem to be having. It was hard for me to visualize the room as it would be for the wedding. I would suggest going back and looking at a room that is set up, right before the wedding with the centerpieces out. It helps. Chateau Briand is beautiful, I really liked it but I actually felt it was too dark for me. With candles, I think it would be very romantic. Its a great choice. I've never heard anything bad about it. My brother is getting married there and everything has been great. I got married at Fox Hollow and everything was wonderful so I have a lot of faith in the Scotto's. My only other suggestion would be the Metropilitan. It has a different feel and ambience, it may appeal to you.
