I have !! Exit 11N off the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn NY! (Mill Basin area).
We went to two weddings there and I must say - the food was VERY VERY good.
Cocktail hour was amazing - so much to choose from.
The service was good and the rooms were big.
Definitely check it out if you're interested!

I'll go check it out next week along w/ Russo's. Is the cuisine Italian? We went to Marina Del Rey today and was quoted 182pp and I looooove the hall. I'm just not crazy about the room (Bellagio). I wanna go back though to get a better idea of how it would look. They had a party today and it was hard to see. My mom said that it looked as if the dance floor was small. But my first impresssion didn't make me do flips. I gotta go check it out again...maybe the type of party didn't give me such an accurate picture. This is so stressful.

Ditto! Acutally we were going to look there.
FH is NYPD and in Columbia Association that have meetings there. The food is amazing and place is beautiful. It does get pricey but I hear worth it.
We didnt look due to the location of it and how majority of our family is here in LI.

I have been there a few times. The food is awesome. I am biased because my parents neighbor is the chef there. It is a great place.

Re: El Caribe Country Club? Has anyone heard of this hall?
I have been there for a wedding and it was lovely. I can't comment on the food because the wedding was an orthodox Jewish wedding where they brought in food from an outside caterer.

Re: El Caribe Country Club? Has anyone heard of this hall?
Do you know if they have an outdoor section? What the price range is? Also, do they have that big grand entrance for the bride and groom? Here's a really dumb question- isn't el caribe something in spanish?

Thanks for your help ladies. Why is it that certain halls aren't listed in books for example, I haven't seen Russo's or Marina Del Rey. By the way does el caribe have an outdoor section?

Re: El Caribe Country Club? Has anyone heard of this hall?
I have been to the El Cribe a couple of years ago for a christmas party. They have one of the best cocktail hours i have ever been to. Very good food. The only drawback of it is it is located in a very industrial area, but otherwise it is a great place. Along the lines of Russo's. Worth checking out if the location doesn't bother you.

The best place I've ever been, the only reason why I am not having my wedding there is that it is too far for me. It is also too much $$$ for me or I'd be there

Hey Rina...some of these halls don't pay to advertise that's why you'll never see an ad for them. They rely on word of mouth.

That's exactly what Marina Del Rey told me. Let me ask you- where are you taking your pictures? We're going to go look at Russo's this week, hopefully, but I was wondering where your gonna go and have your pictures done. When my cousin got married we went to a studio out in Brooklyn and had them done there, but I'm not too crazy about that idea.

This is something we are still deciding. As I'm sure you know Russo's doesn't exactly have the best photo taking views...so we are considering Old Westbury Gardens. If not then we'll search for something a little closer. I'll let you know Rina. I don't want indoor pics. I definitely know we want to be outdoors.

Re: El Caribe Country Club? Has anyone heard of this hall? UPDATE
UPDATE:
We went to El Caribe tonight. They have food beyond food. The rooms were nice. Basically we got a price and it was 162 per person and w/ all the taxes/gratuity/valet parking etc it pretty much comes out to $200 a plate. This included the full seafood/vienesse- you name it...everything. Martini fountain/ frozen cocktail...hanging lobsters, etc. Also, this was for Sat. night in Jun 2007.
To be honest w/ you, I didn't like the location and the fact that when guests enter it reminded me of a parking lot at a super market. They also have a gym next to them...which makes it less elegant IMO. (I'm pretty sure they own it) They told me and my FI that they "may" be remodeling and put an outdoor location for pictures. Hopefully, we get a chance to go to Russo's tomorrow. But it looks as though we may probably end up booking there- we will see. I just wanna book a hall and move on to step 2!

Re: El Caribe Country Club? Has anyone heard of this hall? UPDATE
You have plenty of time to book a hall unless you're trying to get one of the mansions on LI!!
I used to live 3 blocks from El Caribe and mind you I have heard great things about it, but it is a residential area and people get lost in the area all the time. You don't expect a catering hall to be there, so it's easy to miss.
Plus there's construction going on in the area (at least this was the case 3 weeks ago when I visited family.)
You might want to check into Terrace on the Park or Douglaston Manor. There's also the Grand Prospect Hall. I haven't heard spectacular things about Russos, and there are plenty of places if you're trying to stay in the south Brooklyn/Queens area.
