Ok So I've visited about 10 places in 3 days. . .no need to rush, I have about 21 months to go but I just want it booked.
I've narrowed it down to:
Crest Hollow Jerricho Terrece Sand Castle (Cinderella/Fairy tale theme) or Swan Club (does anyone know if that enclosed cocktail room in the back gets hot in July without ac?)
Everyone always has such good advice please give me your opinions about these places or if you have another suggestion about 20 to 35 minutes from Seaford (I've checked Leonard's, Captain Bill's, Larkfield Manor, Milleridge Inn, FOx Hollow, Grand Elegante, I think that's it) Should I be checking out more places?? I'm confused as it is!!
Thank you!!

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
I went to a wedding at the Swan club last sept and I didn't care for it. Everyone felt like they were rushing the coures and I thought there food was okay. Also they had a few weddings going on at the time and no one was giving directions.. we came so close to walking into the wrong wedding thank god we didn't see our name on the table and got wise that we didn't reconize anyone. they just seemed not very organized. I was glad we didn't pick them after we went to this wedding.
Jericho terrace was out of our price range but i thought it was very nice. The Rivera was nice but I thought it was a little too dark inside and we didn't like the way the seating was. I also picked North Ritz because of the only one wedding and it is beautiful and the price was right.

MissLinda, If you are having 200-250 people, then the Manor East can accomandate you. We are going to have about 200-225 people and we will have plenty of room. I would look into it and check out their website.

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
MissLinda,
I was a Manor East Bride as well, and The Grand Ballroom can handle that many people with no problem. Yes they do have the capacity to have more than one wedding at a time, but each room has their own seperate entrance way and kitchen. Their prices are reasonable and the food is plentiful. Their website isManor East

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
All of those choices are great. Don't settle until you know for sure. You have so much time - consider everything when choosing - food, ambiance, style, etc. Good Luck with your search!

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
Sorry to put another wrench in the works - have you considered Bridgeview Yacht Club in Island Park? They have a 150 minimum, and a 400 max,a d we have 220 - 250. They are right on the water. I'm a bit biased because we are using it
btw - thanks for the information about the embroidery

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
I would not put anyone in a room without air conditioning. Think about it a hot July day no air conditioning and being dressed up? They are all nice choices. Did you try Scotto Brothers places?

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
Thanks Linda! Yeah, July 4th 2004. It falls on a Sunday, so everyone will have off on Monday. It works out great, being that 1/2 the people are coming in from out of town. Did your bf get married on the actual 4th this year? If so, any problems with it being a holiday? ie; church being open, salons for hair/nails, dj's being booked, etc. Any info would be great!

Re: Trying to narrow down reception halls
She got married on the 4th which was a Thursday this year. She had the ceromony at the hall. I would book things as quick as possible because I've heard some places are already booked for July 4 2005! She was a hair dresser so she had her friends come in and do our hair, so I can't help you with that. Send out 'save the date' cards early so people can make arrangements early. She did EVERYTHING in red white and blue even her shoes. . .2girls in red (MOHs) . . 2 girls in blue(BM). .It came together really nice (I was scared for a little while )
