I 2nd Chateau La Mer. It has two rooms... we are using the large ballroom which I think has a minimum of 175? There is a smaller room upstairs (which we loved)! It is on the water and the food is soooo good. They let you do a tasting and will hold your date until you do one!

Our wedding is a sat night in June and we got a great price. The CH has so much food!! Cake is included. FM me for pricing if you want.

Everyone was RAVING about the food!! Although I didnt get to taste everything it was the best. I wish I could get married there AGAIN!! The chocolate fountain was a BIG hit.

Hey there weddingbunny,


I've had a couple of family members have theirs at Watermill Caterers in Smithtown, they rave about the food and say they do a good party, something to think about.....
And about CLM, I actually have a list of the current prices and days for 07 if you want to FM me, good luck!

To answer your last question - Wedding Sites & Services magazine can be purchased at Barnes & Noble or Borders.

To stay in and around Huntington - the hotels - the Hilton and the Marriot both do weddings. The Hamlet in Commack, the Hamlet Wind Watch in Hauppauge/Islandia (20 minutes away, right off the LIE), Thatched Cottage in Centerport, Coindre Hall (on the expensive side), The Vanderbuilt in Centerport (also on the expensive side), Stonebridge CC (in Hauppauge), Woodbury CC, The Woodlands (also in Woodbury), Crest Hollow CC, Fox Hollow, North Ritz Club, Oheka Castle (very expensive), Smithtown Landing CC, The Watermill, Sunken Meadow State Park and The View at Crab Meadow (my personal favorite of those listed that I could afford ).

I don't know what the capacity is on any of these, you will have to call and find out. I would suggest keeping it to no more than 4 per day. You will spend about 15-20 minutes looking around at everything and then another 45-60 minutes sitting with the banquest manager going over menus and pricing options etc. Make sure you make appointments and don't just show up. If there is a wedding or something going on you'll never get to see the rooms.

HTH!

There's also the Larkfield Manor in East Northport and Carlyle on the Green at Bethpage Park which are extremely close. I also recommend the Hyatt. My ceremony is in Huntington as well (in the village) and it's about 30 minutes to the Hyatt in Hauppauge (it's right next to the Hamlet Windwatch).

Yes, definitely don't do more than 4 a day, even at 4, certain things start to blend together from each place.

There are a good number of places within 20-30 minutes of where you are, I'm getting married in Huntington Village. Good luck!
