Went to 2 weddings recently....Watermill and Majestic Gardens - personally I would go with Majestic Gardens. There is one wedding at a time and the grounds are beautiful. Giorgio's is also beautiful.

---

Can you give me some details on why you liked Majestic better? Thanks!

---

The food was good at both places, but the wedding at Majestic Gardens was amazing bc the couple got married outside which was GORGEOUS. One wedding at a time really is great. The Watermill is nice too, but I don't like that there are 2 other weddings going on, it reminds me of a wedding factory (IMO) I like the feeling of having the whole place to yourself. Like I said, this is JMO.

---

I see your point. Honestly, the 1 wedding at a time aspect is one of the reasons I LOVE Giorgio's. We'll see what I'm saying after I check out some more places tomorrow and Sunday! lol

---

I loved Giorgio's too....that was our 2nd choice. Good luck!

I wanted to be the only bride so I did not check out any place that had more than one wedding at a time. (Watermill, Jericho Terrace, Crest Hollow CC). I checked out the following:

Giorgios - it was gorgeous. They wanted an 85 person guarantee for a THURSDAY night, 125 for Friday. Mr. Giorgio himself told me my guest list was my problem with trying to find a hall. Turned me off. Went to a showcase, food was ok.

Beach Club Estate- great price, fabulous menu, had no problem with low minimum. I personally didn't like the room for the reception. It was very pretty, just not my taste.

Skipped Milleridge b/c for my numbers the CH and reception are in the same room and I didn't want that. Skipped all that is Lessings Caterers.

Didn't go to Majestic Gardens b/c my mom & sister had been there when she was looking and they both said I wouldn't like it.

I've been to weddings at Crest Hollow and Jericho Terrace and both were great. Majestic Gardens is really nice but it is so far out in Suffolk and I'm from Queens. I've never been there but I heard that Giorgios is gorgeous but on the pricey side. Hope that helps.

Hi! If you don't mind my asking, what made you choose Country Gardens and what minimum did they give you?

Thanks!!

At this point, ANYTHING is going to help me! I'm so stressed out by trying to find a place that I'm having dreams where my wedding has to be held in a landfill because I couldn't find a place!

Craigshunny,, that is how I feel. I have been to 14 halls and 1 more today!

I will probably have to give up being the only bride and have to be put into the smaller room.
I just dont want to compromise getting married on a Saturday!

I hear that

Watermill, Jericho and Milleridge will all give good food and service. I haven't heard very good things about Crest Hollow but I liked what I saw. A few people have had trouble with them. I'm sure their food is good tho!

Good luck!

Crest Hollow has good food, I have to many events there, and the food has never been a issue.

Majestic has great food and beautiful grounds. I was in a wedding party there, and the Dridal Attendant was excellant.

Check out West Sayville CC. They are pretty reasonable, have a water view and the GM is really nice. We're pretty set on getting married on a Sunday for some reason so I guess some places are willing to compromise a bit more. Good luck!

I'm getting married at Jericho Terrace! I haven't had my wedding yet, but I went to a tasting, and it was so delicious!! I also ate there at a bridal show. The inside is beautiful with tons of photo opportunities. The outside grounds are very small, but there is one area that makes for a few nice pictures. I love the cocktail hour rooms. Very garden style.

The Crest Hollow Country Club, was gorgeous and the food and staff were amazing!

If I may ask, how many ppl did you have at your wedding?

Thanks!

We're definitely considering them. I absolutely LOVED Steve when I met with him! Are you having your ceremony there?
