3 reception halls-looking for opinions

Can anyone offer any help/thoughts on any of the following places: The Milleridge Cottage, Sans Souci in Sea Cliff or George Washington Manor. We are going to view these places next week. Thanks.

I think the Marriot in Uniondale is your best bet. It is actually a beautiful hotel. I had friends from out of state stay there last year and the rooms (regular room) was gorgeous. The Garden City Hotel is beautiful but they charge some outrageous price that to me wasnt even worth it. We havent decided where we are going to stay. We are buying a house so we might save the $$ and go back to our house (being that I wont be living there before the wedding). Check out the Marriot. Good Luck!!

i am getting married at the chateau briand in feb 2001. does anyone suggest any hotels in that area for me to go to after the wedding? do you think the Marriott has the best price? or is there a really nice other hotel around there that doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

Just wondering how you can comment on a place that you worked at when you were 15-- regardless of how it was when you were there how can you comment on that now--assumming you are not 16-- I have heard nothing but good things about the food at the cottage--def not what I would call mediocre-- just wondering why you thought that Laura

All of our vendors were prompt, professional, & very responsive to any and all requests we made throughout the day - The Milleridge Carriage House, Cassarino Studios, Designer Limos, Greenpoint Florist, Fine Time Entertainment.

And the quartet was also a big hit!

I dont know if I want to entrust this special day to people who think so little of their place of employment that they laugh and snicker at what goes on there....Im looking there tonight. I guess Ill go with my gut feeling...Im certainly not in the market to pay 140/pp...this wedding stuff is stressful

This is the place that I need directions to. Sorry ! and thanks!

Your opinion is appreciated of course. Thanks Jessica

I think I will use lollipops too- to bribe the kids to stick around. Now, what to do for the adults? I **KNOW**that they will want to go the the CH. too bad, they will wait the 15 min to take pics with us then go eat. ( Sorry- I know that this sounds selfish- but I really mean it tongue in cheek!!) we will have our own attendant providing us with drinks adn snacks. maybe this will also help to lure the few guests to stick around for pics.

I would have to agree with Lenore, although I guess it depends what time of the year and what day the wedding is-but when I went looking around a year ago the average was around 95 pp without any extras.

I agree! I've been in catering for years and I have to say that Scarsellas is on the money for service, quality and Tee is a doll.

I really was not trying to start anything-I just made a comment based on my own experiences. Maybe Suffolk county is cheaper. I wouldn't know because I only looked in Nassau-eastern Long Island would be way too far for my family-we are from Queens and we wanted to keep it within afairly reasonable distance of the Church.

If you are able to get it cheaper, the more power to you-everything about weddings seems to be so expensive.

How about $65? I am booked at Chateau La Mer on Friday, August 31, 2001. I was very impressed with the hall, and it is right on the water. All food, etc is included in the price.

What is the deal with people posting b*tchy comments here??? Everyone's choice of where they have their wedding and every single detail is just that - a choice, a personal choice. So what purpose does it serve to come on here and find it necessary to bash other women's personal choices? The real purpose of posting here (it needs to be reiterated) is to share information on services, opinions on vendors, good or bad experiences, in an attempt to HELP one another. To everyone out there: to thine own self be true and perhaps try to show some kindness and kinship with your fellow brides to be.

IT'S BEAUTUFL. THE WEDDINGS ARE LOVELY. THE FOOD IS GOOD. AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE A GREAT TIME. I THINK THE PRICES ARE FAIR. CHECK WITH THEM ON THE NUMBER OF GUESTS. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

Just curious as to why you'd want all three from one source.
