Venue search... help!

Original post by JM1224

We have been looking at and touring possible venues for our July 2013 wedding and hoping to find something that matches the following criteria. We keep striking out! Anyone know of a LI venue that...

-guarantee of 100 guests (we don't have to be the only wedding)
-in Nassau or Western/Central Suffolk County
-can hold the ceremony on-site
-has an option for an outdoor cocktail hour
-has outside grounds for photographs
-has an elevator and is truly handicap-accessible
-is in the range of $65 - $90++ PPP

We have already been to Watermill (minimum guest guarantee too high), Westbury Manor (no elevator), Thatched Cottage (same, no elevator), Fox Hollow (no outside cocktail), Harbor Club (price too high), The Metropolitan (again, no elevator). Crest Hollow is out for complicated reasons. Heading to Villa Lombardi's and Flowerfield this weekend... anyone know of something else I can check out?

What about West Sayville Country Club? I'm not sure if that's too far East or if they are handicap accessible but it's worth a shot!

The only place I know with an elevator is Floral Terrace but it doesn't have an outdoor area at all...and I don't think that's within the price range you're looking at.

I'm having an outdoor cocktail hour at Fox Hollow. If your minimum is 100, then they should have showed you the Winter Garden Pavilion which includes an outdoor cocktail hour.

And Fox Hollow is actually under construction right now to add an additional outdoor cocktail area for the Somerley. It's supposed to be complete by the end of this year. I wasn't sure when your date is but at least its something to keep in mind.

HTH!
