Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

I've been to a wedding at westbury manor and the wedding was great and so was the food.

I went to look at Jericho Terrace, it is beautiful

don't know anything about leonards

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

They're all great.. I saw Jericho Terrace and Westbury Manor.They are two different looks and if I remember correctly two different price points... Is there a certain theme or something you are going with? One that suits you better? One that FH likes better?

We didn't book Jericho Terrace because I had an issue with the stairs and at Westbury Manor the bathrooms were too small for me... but all else being equal we would have went with Westbury Manor because we wanted somewhere to take pictures outside.

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

i am biased towards Westbury Manor because that's where my wedding will be at!! Jericho Terrace was our second choice!! beautiful places as well and i understand why is hard for you to pick i went thru the same dilemma ...Leonards of Great Neck is a pretty place too! good luck

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

Out of the three, I've only been to a weddding at Jericho Terrace. My sister was married there 2 years ago. The wedding was great and she had zero complaints.

My taste is more suited for Westbury Manor. I think it's beautiful there. And now that I think asbout it...I was at a wedding there. But I was young and cant remember. But I hear from friends that it's great!

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

We're getting married at Jericho Terrace so I am biased... we did like the other two as well, but just chose JT because it suited us better... You should take a look at Chateau Briand also thats a nice place

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

i'd say definately between WM and Jericho. Leonard's is quite a bit different from the 2

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

im pretty sure all three have very different vibes. you have to go and see them for urself. but i heard great reviews on all of them.

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

i thought WM was beautiful, i have heard great things about the food as well

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

I am booked at JT but of course I cant say that WM would not be right for you. On the other hand, I have heard more than a few negative things about Leonards on LIW. I know that is used to be a wedding standard on LI but from what I hear they have a lottt (not just 2) weddings going on and their service suffers because of it. I have also heard mixed things about their food. So, check it out if you havent already but do a search on here as well. HTH to atleast maybe narrow down your choices.

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

I think that JT and Leonards have the same type of look and that WM is different from those two, so it depends on what style you are going for. Personally, out of those three I would choose WM.

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

Why not go see all 3????

westbury manor was definitely different from the rest, i personally loved it (finace wasnt too crazy about it)

Jericho Terrace was nice but not what i was looking for

Leonards i thought was really beautiful i like that heavy decor BUT they do 3 weddings at a time!!! that can get a little crazy!

Go check all three out there not too far from each other!!

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

you could also try the other scotto brothers facilities... fox hollow & chateau briand

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

My advise -- go see all three and more if you feel you need to.

I have been events at all three places and all three are reputiable places -- so it all depends on your personal style and budget.

It is great to do research online, but online images usually don't do a place a justice.

Good Luck.

PS -- I looked at over a dozen halls -- you will find what is right for you.

Re: please help narrow down a reception hall

I would say WM,but then again I'm biased.

I was at Leonards about 2 months ago. I had a great time at the wedding, but that is because of the people......the food and service wasn't that great.

I've never been to JT, but I've heard a lot of nice things about it.
