now that you've booked.. where have you looked?

I replied to Jaams' post, she's going to throw out her quotes as she doesn't need them and was offering the information to others.

Well it got me thinking, I know we did a 'how many venues did you see thread'

I figured maybe some girls who are still looking for a hall can check this thread and say 'oh bride123 saw zyx hall, i should FM her and ask her opinion'.

So... I guess I should start:

Verdi's (obv)
Majestic Gardens
Coral House
Stonebridge CC
West Lake Inn
Crest Hollow CC
Atlantis Aquarium
Fox Hollow CC
Terrace on the Park
North Ritz Club
Westbury Manor
Larkfield Manor
The Metropolitan
The Riviera
Manor East
Brentwood CC
The Meadow Club


I think that's all of them... for some reason I think there were more (I did CALL and EMAIL a lot more)

leonards (went to a wedding)
lands end (went to a wedding)
the Hyatt (went to a wedding)
pine hollow cc (went to a wedding)
the elk lodge smithtown (went to a communion- great for a small wedding)

good idea!

I looked at for my own wedding, or have seen based on going to other weddings:

Chateau Briand
Timberpoint CC (went to a wedding here)
Sand Castle (went to a wedding here)
Inn @ NHP (went to a wedding here)
Russo's (went to a wedding here)

Willow Creek
Lands End
Harbor Club
Crescent Beach
Old Field Club
Lombardi's on the sound
Villa lombardi's

Smithtown landing (went to a wedding
Glen Island (went to a wedding)

. . . . . I feel like there is more
