Also, how long is everyones engagement?

Re: Wedding Venus and Engagement
Depends on what kind of 'theme' you are going for....if you want a bigger more elaborate place then somewhere like Chateau la Mer would be great...if you want something more simple but still pretty...then Vineyard Caterers might be the way to go (maybe I'm a little bias ) Do you want it on the water? Vineyard?
My engagement will be 18 months!

Swan Club was my 3rd place choice. They had outrageous prices for November 2011 - I think it was $60pp for a Friday night! My cousin got married there in June 2001 and it was OUTRAGEOUS! She had a CH in that garden room that was gorgeous.
We booked at Crest Hollow because we wanted that much more formal, elaborate RH feel. I didn't care about being in a place with other brides (generally, they will book up to 2 weddings at a time - at least in November 2011), but I did want quality service, a gorgeous entrance, and good food. Their base price for Nov. 2011 on a Friday night was $76pp, Saturday was $86pp, Sunday was $69pp. I booked in January so things might have changed since then.
Our 2nd place choice was North Ritz Club. We almost booked there which would have been nice b/c it is one wedding at a time, but we needed a place that would do a hospitality hour for us between church and the cocktail hour, and they couldn't accommodate us. I think it was about $85pp for a Friday night there.
We had our e-party at Dao, an upscale Asian-fusion restaurant in Huntington and it was EXCELLENT!
I also saw: Thatched Cottage, Fox Hollow, and Jericho Terrace so if you want info about those experiences, feel free to FM me!

Re: Wedding Venus and Engagement
We will be at the two year mark when we get married-- our RH is Floral Terrace and i feel likes its a hidden gem-- it is beautiful one bride @ a time venue-- but if you want an outdoor area this is not the RH to look at
