Why can't I just pick a place?! HELP PLEASE

I know i've posted so many postings on venues and I can't do it anymore! I can't keep looking! i'm so tired of the whole routine of going to another place showing me around going over the menu yada yada. Either i love it but too pricey, I don't love it price good. I like it but too far, put a down payment have nightmares gotta get it back. what do i do!!

Ok So here is my new list... any comments, Criticisms, pricing, before i set out on this journey for hopefully the last time?

Beach Club Estate
F.E.A.S.T at Roundhill
Riverview Cateres
Villa Barone Manor -in the Bronx
Woodbury Country Club - went to see this already and i'm leaning towards it just to book something
Olde Mill Inn - Jersey
English Manor - Jersey
The Riviera in Massapequa
I went to see the Riviera in brooklyn and it sounds good but for the price i'd like to have a little more scenery.

I want an outdoor ceremony. something pretty not so flashy but pretty. trees, water, flowers, etc.
I have about 100 guest and i know most of these places require more but at what cost!?

First, dont stress!! I think you should narrow down what area you want to have the wedding and start from there. Also, because you have a smaller guest list, would you want to do an afternoon, sunday, or off season month? Most places will help you with that.

Also, dont overwhelm yourself all at once by visiting too many places. You have plenty of time.

Did you look at the Thatched Cottage? My minimum for my wedding is only 100 people. It's on the water and you can have an outdoor ceremony. the outside is really pretty!

I know how you feel...I dragged FH to 12 places!

If you like wood bury you should also check out crest Hollow i had to pic between the 2. what i like about woodbury is there are less events going on but at crest hollow there are more gardens and you can you whichever ones you want. i also want crazy about the set up of the room in wood bury but the room was pretty.

Hi I saw you looked at some places in NJ. I got married at Bridgewater Manor in Bridgewater its not too far away from The Old Mill Inn. And there is an outdoor area for a ceremony.

Defiantly try Chateau La Mer.. It has everything you want and they are VERY affordable!!! Its right on the water with Palm Trees in May- October. I believe the Upstairs room would be perfect for the amt of guests you are looking for...

DONT STRESS!!! Youll find a great place!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

I Went to Chateau La Mer but i wasn't crazy about the 2nd floor. and when i spoke to one of the guys he said that eventually both parties upstairs and downstairs will be sharing the outside space. And i don't like that idea very much.

Don't stress. Have you looked at Westbury Manor or Swan Club in LI?

Re: Why can't I just pick a place?! HELP PLEASE

Definately check out the Swan Club if you are looking for an outdoor ceremony with water.

Isn't there one in Oakdale with a garden type tent?

Re: Why can't I just pick a place?! HELP PLEASE

I saw West bury and Swan. FH didn't like Westbury because there were too many events going on. Swan club we like but someone said that there can be 3 weddings at once and you have to share restrooms???

Re: Why can't I just pick a place?! HELP PLEASE

what about the Sans Souci? Its a great space for small weddings, and they have a nice outdoor area. They only hold one wedding at a time. If you have any more questions FM me. Try not to stress too much, in the end wherever you have your wedding I am sure it will be perfect :)

That s ucks I was just about to suggest Old Field Club. I love Milleridge Cottage also (second choice RH), they are located in Nassau but they aren't located on the water. I'm not sure if they have an outdoor ceremony option because we aren't getting married at the hall so we didn't ask them about it.
