hi all, I'm new to the forums (but I've been on liweddings for about a year). My fiance (Joe) and I had checked out some places about 2 months ago.. we got a little burned out as we were also planning our engagement party.. but now that that's over, we're back in full wedding mode. So I was wondering if anyone had prices or opinions on the following places. We are looking for a Sept-Nov 2010 OR April-May 2010 (fall would be preferred) Date.
We are interested in the following places:
Terrace on the Park
The Floral Terrace
Atlantis Marine World- we had gone there with ex friends of ours for their wedding, (about 3-4 years ago) they were priced at $90/pp.. I'm not sure if it went up since then.
Carlyle on the green
chateau le mer
East Wind Caterers
Hamlet Golf & CC (commack)
New York Institute of Technology's (NYIT) de Seversky Center
The Riviera
The Foundry
Watermill
Coral House
Westbury Manor

We have been to the following, we asked for Sept-Oct 2010 prices, saturday night
The Metropolitan- $95/pp++ pros- two floors cons- dance floors are small, weird layout
Fox Hollow- $97/pp++ (feb is under $70) pros- decent price, great staff, beautiful grounds cons- room layout
The North Ritz Club- $130/pp++ pros- place is GORGEOUS cons- you can hear the traffic on jericho tpk, they charge you extra for oval tables (LONG funny STORY, joe wasn't happy- caused a fight), OVER priced
Crest Hollow CC- $75/pp++ pros- food selection, 24 acres to take pics, golf carts, nice rooms, nice staff cons- I personally don't like the dance floor, the room we like is too small *as of now CHCC is our #2 choice
Larkfield Manor- $68/pp++ pros- decent price, the bar is beautiful, cocktail room is beautiful cons- the shape of the room, no lock on bridal suite
Majestic Gardens- $95/pp++ (november) pros- everything is amazing, the place is beautiful! cons- a little more then we wanted to spend, they call every 2 weeks * our number 1 choice, if we can talk them down
Manor East- package, apx $14,000 (200ppl) pros- package, cocktail room is nice cons- nowhere to take outdoor pictures, recently updated and still looks straight out of the 80's
THANK YOU!!!!!

Joe and I went to the brentwood country club, the riviera and the coral house.. well the coral house is our #1 and we are most likely booking it. It's not exactly what I wanted... but it's under $80/pp sooo I'm going to try and talk him into checking out floral terrace and terrace on the park AND east wind... just so I know I'm making the right choice.
thank you!!!

Re: Need Prices and Opinions Please
On your list, the only one I got a quote from was Westbury Manor and that's like $115 for an August Friday night wedding. I loved the grounds, especially with the ducks and peacocks and other animals, however, it seemed to me they are on a tight schedule so they dictate your times. They told me that we would only have Cocktail hour to take pictures if you get married on the grounds. My FH and I didn't want to miss Cocktail hour. Also our Cocktail hour (inside) would have been split between 2 rooms and since the hall is a converted house, the hallways are quite narrow. When we were there, lots of events were taking place and it seemed crowded.
In spite of the above this was still on my top 3 places, however the room I needed was booked.
They do have great food and service. Very nice rooms and grounds. The BM (Banquet Manager) there was really wonderful to work with for the 2 weeks we were going back and forth and she even called me b/c the person who had the room booked canceled their event, it was too late for us, however, we all ready booked elsewhere.

Re: Need Prices and Opinions Please
We booked East Wind, and loved it.
If on a budget, we visited Timber Point Country Club and it was gorgeous, and a lot more affordable, but we decided to go a little higher end.
