West Indian Brides

Girl I hear ya. I love Russo's on the Bay, it's in Howard Beach but it's too expensive. If you go under vendors I think it's give you a list of all the RH in queens and Brooklyn.

I also like the Inn at New Hyde Park, did you try Jericho Terrace, the prices were reasonable.

Thank you...I was thinking of the Inn at New Hyde Park....I have to go and check it out. I wish drove, that would make things so much easier......

LOL we are all over these boards today. I saw the Inn a few weeks ago, it's georgeous! Their prices are too much for me though unless I have it on a Thursday night which would have been $90 pp. I hope this helps.

How many guests are you having? I am having 125, it's a little harder getting a place with such a small guarantee.

Lol, I know right. Wow $90 is way too much. I'm having 100-150 guests....

How about Steward Manor? It was cheaper too. Also Russo's have a smaller room that can accommodate your minimum.

You have sooo much accomplished, I have done nothing. I am so freaking stressed. I hope to book our RH after the holidays, if I still have any money left.

---

I just noticed that we are date twins except im a year before!! We're twins!!!

Dont panic! You have time sweetie! There were times that I felt the same way especially after I saw how much other girls had done. I have been engaged since March 2007. So it took some time go get this much done. We booked our RH July of 07. Thats what I think you should try to get done first, just so you can lock in the cheapest rates. It will be fine. Vendors will NOT be all booked up! There will be PLENTY available!!
