Re: Lets start a Leonards of Great Neck Thread

I never did an official review, but I wanted to bump this for Leonard's brides. Please FM me if you have ANY questions....

You are going to LOVE it and be extremely happy. The service was incredible and they were so accomodating to us.

Some of the things that I loved was that we had the chair covers. They just gave an extra touch to the room and made it look so much more beautiful. The room looked absolutely magical to me.

With the menu we opted for the 3 dinner option (+ the vegetarian). We felt although the 5 choice was nice, it was unnecessary for the extra $. I kept going back and forth on this and in the end glad we decided not to do it. The essentially 4 options were plenty and the food was excellent. We also contemplated adding a pasta course, I think it is only $1.50 extra per guest, but didn't. So glad we didn't, there is so much food! The CH was amazing! My guests couldn't believe there was a full dinner after, so we definately didn't miss the pasta course. We did upgrade our CH though and so happy we did. We added the carving stations and the hot seafood option. OMG, the seafood was awesome! People raved about it, I could have eaten that alone for dinner. It was so good and so worth it. For dessert in addition to our cake we did chocolate covered strawberries and the parisian cookie platters. Perfect. Just enough outside of the cake. I know a lot of people do the Venissian hour, but we have been to so many weddings where it is such a waste. Plus I didn't want to take people away from the band & dancing. I have heard they do a great job with it though.

The service was extraordinary. They were so accomodating & helpful. They served us one of each meal, which was excellent. The owner, Bobby, came up during our party to make sure everything was ok, as did Marcucio (who booked our party). I only saw another bride/wedding once - when we were coming down from looking at our room during the CH. She was taking pics. We were on the top floor and you would never know there were other events going on. The pictures came out so nice there too.

I will post a couple. I will scan a few more soon that will give you a better idea of Leonard's.
Good luck and Congrats!

Re: Lets start a Leonards of Great Neck Thread

Oh great pictures!!! Ive been to Leanords twice once for my best friends wedding it was gorgeous and I loved the chair covers although I think they are expensive dont know.

I loved the cocktail hour food everyone talked about it after the dinner was fine guess the cocktail hour was just so great the dinner seemed just fine I think there were 5 choices we were surpirsed cause usually there are just 3 choices and there were menus because I kepted them as momentos place cards my friend purchased from Staples and I typed an printed them in script font on my computer in black ink.

Geez I was good MOH wanst I?

If I had my choice Id get married here but MIL wont hear of it! she wants a country club

God Im really starting to hate her.

FYI: There's a post I read on WC (you know, one of those other wedding websites

) that was pretty unhappy about his experience. Not sure if she's poster here, but I always like to hear the good with the bad, just in case...

Actually, the ONLY bad thing that I experienced with Leonard's was during CH. We didn't wait to be introduced, and me & DH went to greet everyone during CH. Anyway, the bad thing was, the lobby was crowded with guests from our & other weddings/parties - with curtains separating.

Other than that, they surpassed what we could have asked for. The food was delicious, the service was great, I didn't run into any other wedding parties, and the hall was clean. That's all I cared about.
