I recently got engaged. My fiancee and I are looking at Ariana Waterfall Caterers for our wedding reception, but we are concerned about the 'package deal' and if the photographer and videographer are any good, because that is most important to us. Did anyone recently have a wedding there that can help us out?? We are on a tight budget and their prices and what they offer are perfect for us, but not if they aren't very good!! If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Karen C.

Re: Wedding Venue
First of all... welcome and congrats on your engagement.
I'm not sure about Ariana Waterfall but I know Swan Club and Cresthollow Country Club are both beautiful and very reasonable.

Re: Wedding Venue
i understand your concern with getting a 'pacakge' deal from them. I did not look into them at all so I cant give you any insight, but what I can say is there are venues out there that offer reasonable prices so maybe look into them prior to booking ariana.
some locations are: swan club crest hollow westbury manor jericho terrace
hth good luck and congrats

Re: Wedding Venue
Congrats and welcome!!!
I was worried about the all-inclusive aspect too. I felt like it took away my freedom to get who I really loved. However, it would sure take a lot of stress out of the planning. See if you can meet with them first and look at their work before booking.

Re: Wedding Venue
My sister got married there but didn't use their all inclusive. We used True Love Wedding for photo and videography, limo, dresses and tuxes for all wedding party. Got a great deal and they do a great job.

Re: Wedding Venue
My best Friends got married there around 7 years ago and they used the all inclusive package. I was in the bridal party and let me say, everything was fantastic. We were really impressed - the food was very very good and the DJ got everyone out on the dance floor and gave out handouts. We were dancing all night. Her photos and video came out real nice too. The bouquets were beautiful and I wound up drying mine and using it as a dried flower arrangement at home. I had it for around 6 years before I threw it out - lol ! I was involved in the planning and I remember we booked with Tony, who was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Everything went perfectly. But keep in mind that was quite a few years ago, so I'm not sure if they use the same vendors in their package anymore. Congtratulations and good luck !
