Reception Halls

As I have said before, I love the Carlyle... probally going to visit this week... I am planning either the summer of 2005 or early October.

Any suggestions for halls $150pp the most? I love the whole mahogony look.... rich and elegant. My sister is getting married soon at Flowerfield and I really don't want to give my parents too much of a headache paying for two daughters weddings in a year and a half!

Other considerations:

Harrison House
(??don't know much about it but my mom keeps saying it's amazing??)

Port Jeff Country Club

Any other suggestions?

I love the Watermill! It was out of our price range but it is in yours!
Here is a pic of the room I liked (The Vanderbilt)

I know.. I love it too but my sister's bridal shower was there and I don't know, I just think it would be weird to book there after all of my family was there for a shower.

It is truly beautiful though..... thanks

I am getting married at the Bourne Mansion. Don't know if it is up your ally. Check it out, though.

Here's some pics from their site.

Of course I love Carlyle too... We got quoted $125 for a Friday night.

Check out Westbury Manor, they also have that mansion/ dark wood look and very pretty gardens.

Re: Reception Halls

Well, they can hold 275 people for a sit down dinner, 400 for a coctail reception. BUT we are only having 150, and the room will be fine for that. But you can't have July 3, 2005, it's MINE! Sorry!

Re: Reception Halls

I just put that down as a date anyway!!! It is a really good day though.... for a sunday and most people have off the next day too!

Re: Reception Halls

I know, we booked it because we could have the feel of a Saturday night without paying the extra 25 a head! And I hope I didn't offend you, I was only kidding! I saw you said sometime next summer or October

Re: Reception Halls

oh please... not at all.... that's wonderful for you...

My mom actually suggested that date for us...but don't worry.... I know the Bourne isn't available that day! Hahahaha..

It does look beautiful though.... might go for a visit one day!

Congrats and thanks for the info!

Re: Reception Halls

I am biased on Watermill but the dowstairs room has looks of wood and is so nice...Your sisters shower would have been upstairs so it will feel like a different place ya know? Just a thought...how bout Jericho terrace too? AND PJ cc is nice!
