Re: ? Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread ?

So to kick off this thread, have any of you been to a tasting yet? Are you girls going to go with the cake that's included?

I've been to a tasting and I loved it! I want us to go again and get our parents' opinons this time...

And i'm still undecided about the cake...I was thinking of going with an outside cake, or at least upgrading the cake that's included but I don't know yet..

Re: ? Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread ?

Im March 1st....saturday after next!

Thanxs!!! Im using their cake...Im paying $1 more pp for fondant. I orginally didnt want to use their cake because I dont like what Ive seen on here from past brides. I was going to use Audreys Bakery...i put a deposit and everything...but with everything adding up I decided to just use Leonards cake...to save a few thousand. We will see how it is.

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

Hi!! I'm also a Leonard's bride. I haven't been to a tasting yet but definitely have to call to call to set one up. Does anyone know whether we get to try the different cake flavors? I'm really concerned about the cake, but really didn't want to spend more money getting a cake from an outside vendor.

09 bride crashing

I'm getting married at Leonard's in May 2009. I did my tasting already and the food was good.

I plan on using the cake that they provide. We have a small wedding with an even smaller budget. This is one thing I can save money on. I haven't seen a cake book of talked about the cake at all yet though.

The question I do have is where are you blocking hotel rooms? Also if you can FM me rates that would be really helpful! I'm looking for an affordable hotel for my guests.

Yeah, i'm thinking that's a good place to save too, but I really had my heart set on a fancy cake...I don't know, i guess i'll have to see what they have to offer and try to work with it

I really need to find out too! Does anyone know

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

I'm crashing because I have been to a wedding there and am attending another wedding at Leonards this Saturday. If I can I will give you a food update, but I am sure it will be amazing regardless of my opinion.

Wow, thanks that's really nice of you! Take lots of pics if you can

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

I went to a food tasting and it was good, but like others also haven't seen the cake

I was there a few days ago to ask some questions, and I asked about tasting the cake flavors...I was told no, that doesn't happen, but it's the standard ones, so you basically know what they taste like.

I'm going with their cake, too, especially since I'm having the full vienese, so guests will have a chance to eat plenty of desserts if they don't like the cake.

I also asked if they provide menu cards, and I was told they do...that's also one extra expense out of the way!

I'm glad this thread was started!

The other hotel is the Inn at Great Neck.

Both that and the Andrew are too expensive for my taste and my guests', so we're going to block off rooms at hotels in Queens so it's easy for the guests to get to the church, and then provide transportation for them to the reception and back to the hotel.

Also, on Northern Blvd, ~3 miles from Leonards in Bayside is the Anchor Inn, the Ramada Inn, and the Adria Hotel...they might be more affordable than the ones in Great Neck. One of FH's cousins blocked rooms at the Anchor Inn for her wedding, and the hotel was apprently nice inside.
