The Wolffer Estate vineyard would have been my first choice...but the price was out of our range...with a $9k site fee. Beyond that, Giorgio's was my first choice. We almost went with East Wind b/c the price was much better...but I couldnt get Giorgio's out of my head!

Me too! East Wind's price was good, but I also couldn't get Giorgio's out of my head. It's just so beautiful and includes so much FOOD!

Also a runner up was Westbury Manor.

We have similar taste. I loved Westbury Manor. My only concern was that they couldnt seat all my guests at the cocktail hour...and I kind of wanted my wedding out east

I always knew I wanted to get married at The GCH so there really was never a runner-up.

Me too! Same exact point! I've gotten some heat over it being so far from my mom and FMIL, but I also wanted it out East. We live in Hicksville and WM would've been more convenient, but I wanted more of an 'experience'...I love that it's around farms, vineyards and the sound.

Gurney's in Montauk

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

We kept running into the issue of not being able to meet the minimum.

It would have been Bellport Country Club

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

The woodlands we both absolutely loved it there but Crest Hollow fit our budget better

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

We love that we chose Hamlet Willow Creek and it was a very easy decision! We were really picky and looked at so many places but East Wind was a runner up-they were just a little to far. Fox Hollow was very nice too, the prices were the cheapest out of all the places we looked at!

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

Not sure. We didn't look at too many halls because they didn't have our date available, but then we switched our date in the end anyway. If I had it to do over, we would have kept looking, but I'm happy with CHCC.

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

I originally wanted the Delano Mansion and was deadset on having it there but when we were given the quote, even with the discounted rates, it was still too expensive!

We then started looking for other RH and am so glad to have done it because there were far more better options.

I love my RH but my close 2nd runner ups were Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn and Oheka Castle.

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

Our second choice would have been The Bellport Country Club.

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

i didn't have a second runner up. i found my hall & i booked it. i guess the search would have continued.

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

It prob would've been Majestic Gardens or Crest Hollow. Most likely MG.

We LOVED the Hempstead House too, but it would NEVER have accomodated our guest list.

Re: Stolen from 09: What RH

No idea...we only saw Old Field Club. I had a whole list of places though, so I guess one of them?

Somewhere on the water that only does 1 wedding at a time lol
