Oh no! Emergency! We hath NOT found a ceremony location!

I am so bummed. It took me so long to find a park to have our ceremony in, and I finally called the parks department, told the woman exactly what I needed, she she told me to see Gardiner County Park. It was perfect. I called her back and she said she'd reserve it for me while I got the permit in.

Well. The person who issues the permits called to say 'no' today. She said my wedding is too big, the parking lot will already be full, no vendors allowed, etc. I talked it all through with her and she said that in June, the parking lot is always full, so there won't be anywhere for my guests to park.



JEEZ! I'm back to square one and am supposed to be sending out invitations NEXT WEEK! I can't send out invitations until I have a PLACE TO GET MARRIED!

Again, any suggestions would be more than welcome. I'm looking for somewhere outdoors where there's some kind of shelter in case it rains (pavillion or building) that I can rent. There will be about 200 people, so it needs to have a good-sized parking lot!

Thanks so much for your help.

P.S. Need somewhere in Suffolk County.

Tried:
Bayard Cutting Arboretum
Hecksher Park
Lakeland County Park
The Grange
Ronkonkoma Park
Dowling College
Islip beach
Byron Lake Park
...and others I'm forgetting.

WHat about Sunken Meadow State Park?

where is your reception? can you have it there? or do like celebrities and keep it secret until the day before and that will give you two months.
