Clearly I am a “newbie” since this is only my second post but I figured where else to ask for some advice than here… The FH has been WONDERFUL for the past 3 weeks, we’ve seen close to 20 different Venues/RH and are looking forward to putting a cap on our search and simply go back and weigh the pros/cons of each. We’re not too picky, we just want to make sure we visit every possible location before making our final decision. Here’s the list of places that we’ve seen so far… I really hope I haven’t missed any but if your suggestions jog my memory I will be sure to let you know =)
Westchester/Upstate Area:
Abigail Kirsch At Tappan Hill Glen Island Harbour Club The Fountainhead The Riverview Westchester Manor Bear Mountain Inn Beckwith Pointe Castle on the Hudson Lyndhurt Castle
Long Island:
Watermill Villa Lombardis Flowerfield Land’s End The Venetian Yacht Club The Crestwood Manor Larkfield Manor Huntington Harbor Club Mill Ridge Inn Garden City Hotel Fox Hollow East Wind
Coming this week:
Oheka Castle Chateau La Mer Bridgeview Yacht Club Allegria Hotel Majestic Gardens Cold Spring Harbor Country Club Westbury Manor
Any other Must-See suggestions before we put a cap on our list and finally pick?!
To help narrow the list down… The things that we are looking for:
*GREAT FOOD! *One Wedding at a time. We understand that another “event” might be going on but if we can help having another bride in her suite next door to ours that would be steller ;) *Décor that does not need extra help to it (If we can refrain from adding extra lighting simply to pin-spot centerpieces or up-light the walls that would be ideal)
Also! If anyone is interested in what we thought the pros/cons were of each of these places let me know, we took great notes :P
Thanks ladies! <3!!!

I'm getting married at the Inn at New Hyde Park.
Wow that looks gorgeous! if you don't mine me asking what was the minimum that they gave you?
My only concern is that we're inviting 140 guests and most places have that as their minimum :/
I was going to suggest the Inn as well, but for most days the mimimum is 200+

Oh wow good to know!
Yeah we just went to Bridgeview Yacht Club, Allegria Hotel and Majestic Gardens tonight... long crazy drives during rush hour traffic but at least we narrowed it down a bit more...
VYC and East Wind are now our top two places so yay for narrowing it down! :)

Re: The Search for the Perfect Location Continues...
I have been to East Wind and the Harbour Club for a wedding. BMs in both. Loved them both. I liked East Wind better overall. Both places had great food. I liked the rooms in East Wind better.
I went to the Venetian when I was looking for my wedding. I was not impressed. The guy we spoke with was kind of an a$$. I didn't like the fact that rooms were on all different floors. Ive never had the food there though.

Re: The Search for the Perfect Location Continues...
I LOVE East Wind. I ws considering having my wedding there, but it's unrealistic since it's 80 miles from my house/church
