Planning the wedding...yippee

Original post by morenita

Hi everyone,

I just started planning my wedding a couple of weeks ago and tomorrow I have a couple of more reception sites to go to and this week I will make a final decision.

I visited so far the Coral House, Westbury Manor, Jericho Terrace and the Swan Club.

I really love the Swan Club the best. But of course when we were half way home, we realized, we did not see a bridal suite or a room to take pictures if it rains. My FH was not happy with the Afterdeck (small room). The room has a small dance floor. I did not have a problem with it. I felt just because you invite 75 people does not mean they will all come. I have to revisit it this week.

I also liked the Westbury Manor. Unfortunately, our wedding party is at least 75 people and the reception room and the cocktail hour is upstairs (not on the same floor) and my father is in a wheelchair. When I asked about this I was told that he would be carried up the stairs. My father is at least 6feet tall and weighs at least 220. I don't want to worry about my father falling or if they have enough manpower to bring him up the stairs.

I liked Jericho Terrace. When you walk in, the entrance is beautiful. When we went which was last Monday, there was a wedding going on. So I was able to see how the cocktail hour was set up. I was not able to see the chapel. I was able to see the room and it was much bigger than the Swan Club, but I did not like the floral print wallpaper. I liked that the dj had a mini stage to work with.

This week, I will be going to Floral Terrace, Chateau La Mer, Stewart Manor Country Club, Crest Hollow Country Club, Chateau Briand, Caffe on the Green, Fox Hollow and Majestic Gardens.

Wish me luck ladies...

just an FYI type thing - but Chateau La Mer is still awaiting permits for a wheelchair elevator.. They currently carry the people up the stairs in a big chair...that was an immediate no no for us...

we wound up at Fox Hollow - it's amazing and beautiful & they have an elevator!!! We even took a picture of the elevator to show his mom!

It's official...I chose the Swan Club and I am very happy...I think if I would have seen anymore halls, I would have been more indecisive than what I am now...

I totally agree. I'm a Swan Club bride myself and the more I saw, the more confused I was. I like one thing about one place, but not something else...I specifically didn't like the price of most.

Congratulations! It's a great feeling, isn't it?
