....the hall was beautiful. My friend was kind of upset that she couldn't take pictures in all of the rooms. I guess they had too many weddings going on at once. The maitre 'd gave her 10 minutes to take pictures in one of the other rooms. Her room was The Hill and it fit max 140, but she had 110 and we were squished! When they came out with the Viennesse table there was no walking room around the table. Any questions just ask. We missed the cocktail hour because we were running late and the directions threw us off. I had the Chicken Verde - it's with asparagus and mozzerella...very good.

The Hill room was upstairs on the left side. She had to gaurantee 100 people which was close to what she was expecting. The hall made her have 9 tables so she had to do the table cards over again. She was annoyed because they made her squish everyone together and they told her the room fits up to 140 - that's a joke. The room would have been perfect for a wedding of 70 maybe. Make sure you get your time to take photos in all the rooms that you like. She said that she couldn't get into them to take pictures and she really wanted ones by thee piano and someother room. The menu choice was Chicken Verdi or Verde, Salmon, and Filet Mignon. All were good I guess because there were nothing left on anyones plate except for the little vegetable thing on the side...couldn't even tell you what was in it. Oh and up stairs for that room, there was only ONE bathroom stall and two sinks. It was tiny. Women were there putting on their makeup and I had to ask them to move to that I could wash my hands!!! The Vienesse table was huge. They had a lot. The wedding cake was all dark inside. I don't know if the filling was just chocolate or mousse.
I'm from Queens and we got lost going to the hall. It said to take the LIE to 39 south. So when you here south you are looking for an exit that says south. Well there was none!! The next exit was 40 and we had to turn around from there to go to the hall. It is so dark over there that we couldn't read any of the street signs, so we didn't know what street we were on!!! We had to stop at the gas station on the corner from the hall. When we finally got to the enterance it was beautiful! The snow still covered everything and all the light around the grounds, just beautiful. We did leave ther hungry because we missed cocktail hour and I didn't want to stuff myself with cakes, etc. Is the downstairs area bigger?

The garden room definitely DOES NOT hold more than 154 people. I had it maxed out at about that amount.

It was about 5 years ago(I'm planning #2 now), but the whole party was fabulous!!! As I said we maxed out the room with about 154 people. There wasn't a lot of room between the tables, but no one complained. Actually, just about everyone called afterwards to say how great it was!!! We had the ceremony outside and the cocktail hour was in the area closest to Jericho Turnpike-both great.
I was so happy with the Scotto Bros., that I booked the Fox Hollow for my wedding this July.
