Review of FSIL and FBIL's wedding-- Woodbury Country Club
Their wedding was at St. Barnabus Church in Bellmore and the priest did a great job during the ceremony. He really personalized it and it was really nice.
The reception was at the Woodbury COuntry Club. It was my first time there and it was really nice. As we walked in they had someone playing a grand piano. The seating cards were on two different tables which was a little confusing but not too bad :) The cocktail hour was good-- a decent selection of food which was very good! Their reception was in the upstairs room, and it was very pretty. One wall was all windows looking out onto the pool which was decorated beautifully for the holidays. The appetizer was a little too fancy for me (I am a picky eater!), it was chicken and spinach in a puff pastry. The salad was excellent! There was no pasta or intermezzo course. There were three selections for dinner, a chicken, prime rib or fish. I had the chicken which was okay. FH had the prime rib and enjoyed it. Mashed potatoes were good and I don't usually eat them... They gave out tartufos before cake which were delicious!! I didn't even try the cake, but they did a great job with it, it looked beautiful! They also had a small dessert bar which I only had a cappuchino but it looked like they had a nice selection of chocolate dipped fruits, cookies and pastries.
I am not sure who they used for flowers or DJ but I could find out if anyone is interested. They used Queens Bridal Center for photo/video and they seemed to do a pretty good job... it is also too early to say for sure because we haven't seen pix :)
Some of the guests stayed at the Huntington HIlton after the reception... We were disappointed because the bar closed early when they had specifically mentioned wanting to have their guests go there so we all went to the bridal suite. The rooms were nice and very big, but seperated. Our room also had a lot of noise. We ate the buffet for breakfast but found that a lot of the glasses/silverware was dirty which kind of skeeved us out a bit.
FSIL made beautiful OOT gift baskets which I took pictures of. She went out of control with what she put in them!
I will post pictures as soon as I get them off of my digital camera. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability![]()
