RD nightmare* Update at bottom*

Soooo I have asked FH numerous times to sit with his parents and figure out where to have our RD b/c June is a popular month.....it was taking forever.......so I looked into all of these places and was waiting to hear the verdict...

We decide on Anna Maria's find out it's closing- awesome (strike1)

So then we decide to check out Mongealos (sp???) in Huntington and they want 52 bucks PP and only give us a choice of chicken or pasta (***?!) (strike 2)

So then I said why don't we just book Smithtown Landing like I had said from the start- Matt calls and says ok go for it. So now I call (yes, me!) and they are FARKIN BOOKED NOW!!!!!!!!!! (strike 3)

So I try La Familigia- THEY ARE BOOKED (strike 4)

I'm GONNA FLIP OUT! To make matter worse I've just developed a sty in my eye and it's really painful! lol

Anyone else have a suggestion? cause I'm about to have it at a pizza shop!

I am sorry...i don't know where you live...but something ti cheer you up

My wedding is 2 months from today

My FMIL hasn;t bought her dress or looked into this

so i have no RD scheduled yet

im sorry youre going through this...im in the same situation as you. We cant pick a place for our RD its taking forever and its frustrating. Itll all come
together

We had our RD at Giardinos in Douglaston. They have two sized rooms for private parties and an awesome menu. They are worth checking out.

Edited to say that i have no clue about geography and dont know where it is that you are looking so not sure if my suggestion is helpful.

What area are you looking for? It sounds like the North Shore of Suffolk, right? How far west/east are you willing to go?

Don't stress and put a luke warm wet tea bag on that eye!

We're thinking of looking into Matteo's in Huntington (sounds like its in the same area you are looking)

UMMM...if you're looking to stay with in the smithtownish area....there are a couple of places

1) Garden Grill- Upstairs room holds about 40 people...very quaint type of place...good food....great price (I believe about 25 PP --w/o alcohol though)

2) Old Street Pub- Both bar food and regular meals...(steaks/chicken/fish/etc)....FH and I LOVE this place for a dinner...and there front room holds about 60ish...back holds about 30-40ish....we had my sister's bridal shower there and it was great!!

3) There is an Italian place on mainstreet (my sister's RD was there 2 years ago.....) I'm blanking on the name of it but it's something like Veinza or La Veinza...it's the old Marchellos....They have a room upstairs that holds about 40 people (little odd shaped, but worked out for us) Good food...decent pricing

4) Radio Grill- sometimes a biker bar...but actually really nice inside....They have a room that holds 60....Extensive Menu.... Bikers are usually only there on Tues/Wed nights.... Right passed the watermill on Terry Road


*** I think thats all of my ideas for now....good luck!!

Thank you ladies!!!

I called Garden Grill while at work and went to see it tonight and booked on the spot!!!!!! Shane was THE NICEST guy EVER! It was 26pp w/ out beer & wine just coffee/tea/soda, your guests get to choose from garden salad or caesar salad then 6 entrees to choose (I don't remember them all....shell steak/chicken maidera/some fish/penne a la vodka....) then two desserts either chocolate mousse cake or apple crisp! We are going to do bottles of wine and pitchers of beer...as of right now we are thinking 3 red/3 white (25bucks a bottle) & 3 pitchers of beer (18 per pitcher)


I love this site! :-*

glad to hear it all worked out

funny thing about anna maria's though..we called to ask them about their pricing and they had NO trouble telling us the prices for a December RD! and they're closing? LOVELY!
