First of all, LIW hasn't worked since Saturday and I was having serious withdrawals!!!
Anyway...moving on
Westbury Manor brides are you having/ did you have an after party? And if so, where?? We are staying/ hotel blocking at the Hyatt Place in Garden City since we get a comped night. Their bar closes at midnight and our reception isn't over until midnight so that's out. We also asked WM, but they don't do after parties- our only option there is extending the party for an extra hour at about $2000- which there is no way I am paying for that! Saturday, we even drove past the hotel looking for nearby bars and there are none! We definitely want some kind of after- party as we are a pretty young crowd, but we are running out of options.
Is anyone else having trouble with this?? Thanks!

Westbury Manor brides- After Party? - Long Island Weddings
I'm a WM bride too and we're in the same boat! I've been to other weddings where the after party is just casual and relaxed at the hotel bar...so I think we're just going to look for a hotel which has a bar or some kind of space to hang out (which is actually surprisingly hard to find in the area). The only other thing I can think of is if they have a conference room or something you could rent out for a couple hours at the hotel - but I'm sure that would cost extra money and you'd have to supply beer/wine etc or people would have to bring it. Hope you find something!

Right?? It really is hard to find something. I don't want to have to switch hotels because with the Hyatt we get a free night, We don't owe anything if no one books with the hotel, and if we do get 10 rooms we get a shuttle so it just makes sense to stay there. They told me we could hang out in their lobby, but I feel like we can't be drinking alcohol there. As of right now my only option is to get a bus to pick us up from WM and drop us off at the Floral Park bars on tulip for the night.

Re: Westbury Manor brides- After Party?
Yeah liw has been working off and on which has been killing me too. anyway I'm getting married at WM too. Is it to late to ask for a later start time which would make your party end later? My party ends 1:30am.
Otherwise I'm not sure where you could go. There is a lot of places by hofstra but they sometimes have a lot of college crowds.
Depending on the amount of people and your budget maybe the hotel has a large room that you can use but may have to pay for. My sorority had a formal at a hotel once and we hung out in a big suite looking thing (like a lounge type meeting room) maybe they have one of those you can use after hours. Im not block booking there as I found cheaper rooms elsewhere so I'm not sure but look into that

Hello former WM Brides! I'm going to look at hotels in Westbury to see if they will offer a free shuttle. What did you brides end up doing for the after party? Also, I'm curious which lighting you chose for the Manor room and if you had up-lighting. I'm trying to make the room lighter but not sure how and not sure which colors to pick to go with it.
