Re: vendors?

the only place i have looked at is the north ritz club and fell in love with it, it is nicer than most wedding halls i have been to, but i'd like to know what people thought of the reception hall managers, the food, any wedding nightmares or great experiences?

i am looking in nassau co, western suffolk, or maybe even queens. i am not sure what price range exactly, i am checking out 6 places this saturday and 3 on sunday. i also would like to know do vendors work with you on price?

yes, absolutely negotiate with everyone. we got $5 off per head at the reception hall...we went w/ chateau la mer. didn't check out many in nassau at all, except for sail harbor which was too small for our 200+ guests. as for vendors, all i've done so far (still very early for me) is the dress at Bridal Reflections in Massapequa, negotiated price down about $500 because it was over $2000. but i know for sure, every price you are quoted is up for negotiation. good luck!

ALWAYS negotaite no matter what type of vendor it is!! I refuse to pay full price for anything!!! esp. since I am getting married off day and off season. We are spending enough money as it is!! At first I felt bad but now I haggle with the best of them

thats a busy day...i wouldnt recommend seeing 6 places. 3 at most.. 4 is pushing it. Keep in mind you will be hearing almost everyting is similar. each vendor might have somthing unique.

The north ritz club has been known for great service and very tasty food.

Where else are you looking?

It tiring, but it can be done. I am an OOT bride so, I had to make my visits during my trips home. I just made my appointments before hand. I made appt for places in the same vacinity and gave myself 1 1/2 to 2hrs btw them for travel. (You can pretty much hit most sites driving along Jericho Tpke) If I finished early at one, I called my next appt to see if I could come earlier.
