Re: What reception hall was your second choice???
We didn;t really have a 2nd choice. We loved NRC and the rest we looked at didn't fulfill our needs, too small, too far, too expensive, etc...

Bourne Mansion...totally out of our price range but definitely do-able with some major sacrifice.

Re: What reception hall was your second choice???
I was actually between three. So Watermill and EastWind Estate where my second choices.
Though my choices where based on what I could afford. I would of liked to have my wedding at Lands End, Flowerfields or Bourne Mansion.

The Pridwin on Shelter Island and the Onterio in upstate NY were my second runner ups - but Deseversky won me over even though I wanted a weekend away wedding.

Majestic Gardens, we loved the banquet manager and the outdoor ceremony site....
afterward I wished I would have looked at Giorgios because it looks gorgeous. But, I love the Vineyards

Re: What reception hall was your second choice???
we actually chose our second choice!
i love love love east wind and was ready to book it when i realized the timing issue of driving all the way out there from east rockaway. we would have no time for pictures!
we had gone to a few weddings at WM and loved it, so we booked it.
i still miss east wind though

Mine was the Watermill. It was a tough choice between where we ended up going with and them.

I also liked Land's End, Lombardi's on the Sound, & Giorgios.
But my hall was my top choice!

Jericho Terrace or Girogio's and of course Oheka Castle if we could have cut the list in half

Re: What reception hall was your second choice???
out of the halls we visited, I would say the Stewart Manor Country Club.
It is lovely and extremely well-priced. the BM James was great- interested, but not pushy. It had a nice cosy feel, just maybe not as polished as the WM, but definitely beautiful...it definitely has a 'country club' feel to it- and again, the price was unbeatable...had we not gotten such a deal at the WM, that probably would have been it.
If we had a million dollars LOL, I would have either had the Picnic House in Prospect Park, or Atlantica....sooooo far for us, but I saw pics of a wedding there and both fh and I were enthralled...what a lovely setting.

The Riviera in Massapequa. My FI thought the cocktail room was was too small though.

Re: What reception hall was your second choice???
We liked Giorgio's alot but would have to have had a day wedding, which I didn't want. We didn't really fall in love with any other place that we looked at - we proably would have kept on looking.
