Places I am going to see

Ok I havent done anything except get engaged (that only took 5 years ) and I know the guest list is at 160 right now.

I am going to decide between these places for the reception:

Riviera
Russo's on the Bay
Jericho Terrace
Westbury Manor
Floral Terrace

If anyone has any extra info on any of these places and you want to share, please do...

Re: Places I am going to see

Definitely ITA about the style and price. What are you looking for?

Re: Places I am going to see

I think my Dad is going to help pay. He said to look for places that charge about/up-to $100 pp.

And at first I was looking for a place with great outdoor photo areas but what if it isnt nice weather??? So I dont want to base my decision on that. I just started planning about a week ago, I was living the engaged life w/o planning for a while.

Re: Places I am going to see

Well if the place has a nice outdoor area and its decorated pretty inside, you are set either way. I heard great things BTW about Riviera.

Re: Places I am going to see

That is correct about rivera being nice but with your people count, it might be alot. I went to a wedding for about 100 ppl and i thought it was very small...not alot of space

check it out though

This was one of the reasons we chose Fox Hollow. Pretty outside and a really nice photography studio room inside. Just thought I'd mention that because I agree that it's an important consideration.

Re: Places I am going to see

I think russo's is a bit more then $100 per plate

Re: Places I am going to see

Try the Stewart Manor Country Club. (www.stewartmanor.com) 1 wedding at a time, personal service, great food, great price $65 pp, pretty grounds for pictures. We liked it becasue it had that 'country home' feel. Russo's was a bit 'over the top' for us.

Good luck,
Donna

Re: Places I am going to see

I have been to the Riveria and it is really pretty. The only thingis if you are having more than 150 people the seating arrangements can be very awkward. Good Luck and Congrats

Re: Places I am going to see

Floral Terrace is amazing! The minimum is 175 for a Friday, i'm not sure about the other days. Definitely got there you'll love it!

Re: Places I am going to see

I agree with the other girls, Rivieria will be tight for that size wedding, I wouldn't even waste your time to check it out, North Ritz Club is great check that out, Flowerfield is Amazing but a bit further out and more pricey, Floral Terrace (thats on Jericho right?)you should check out, but they don't have grounds to take photo's Fox Hollow is nice, the Watermill is nice-near flowerfields, further out.

Re: Places I am going to see

Update: The guest list has been cut down to about 125. Do you think that the Riviera is still too small? We actually are going there tonight to check it out.

I am soooo excited. This is the first place we are visiting.

Re: Places I am going to see

The Riviera was our first place to see as well. It is beautiful and has great grounds for outdoor pictures. The only thing that we weren't thrilled about was the cocktail hour room...a little small. BUT since you are getting married in the summer, you can have your cocktail hour outside and then space wouldn't matter.

I am also partial to Jericho Terrace but they don't have too much for outdoor photography (which in the winter isn't a concern for me). Westbury Manor does and it is gorgeous!

Definitely try to check a few different places before deciding. Good luck and have fun!
