Question About Reception Halls

I am going to look at places next weekend for my reception. Do you have to make an appointment or can you just go there unexpected?

Re: Question About Reception Halls

it is best to make an appt. that way you can sit down with a banquet manager and discuss prices and packages better, and not worry that they might have another bride coming who made an appt., if you didn't.

It depends on which RH you go to, some of them you do need an appointment and other you can just walk right in. With my RH, no app. was needed, we just walked right in on a Sat afternoon and they helped us immediately

I think it's best if you make appts so that you know for sure that they have time to meet with you.

I would definitely make an appointment. Also, a lot of the time they have weddings on the weekend and won't show you the room so it might be better to go during the week at night.

Yes and if you call ahead of time you will see if they are available on your day so you don't waste your time loving a RH only to see that its not a possibility on your date.

That's what I love about Westbury Manor! Always willing to help you whenever you walk in! It made me feel so welcome!

All the other places I checked out I needed an appt., those were Venetian Yacht Club, Chateau La Mer, Woodbury Country Club, and Chateau Briand... CB was especially picky about appointments

I just walked in to a few and it was fine but I do recommend you call up first and make sure. Some of them require appointments. I also recommend you go on a week night after work and not on a weekend because the RH's will be crazy on weekends. However, if you plan on booking a particular hall I recommend you visit on a weekend before you actually book just so you can see how crazy it gets, it might persuade your opinion.

I would make appointments. They can't always accomodate a walk-in, and you definitely want to have enough time to sit and talk and look around.

Re: Question About Reception Halls

for most of mine I made an appointment.

but we called WWC about 5 min before we came (so basically showed up) we were in the area so we wanted to see it.

you need to make an appointment. very few places takes walk-ins. what are the halls you are planning to visit?

Re: Question About Reception Halls

make an appointment, i dont know what type of place you are looking for but can i suggest the Inn at new hyde park to you,...they are redoing the whole thing and giving away great prices bc you are booking without seeing..we booked there and cant wait!
