How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

Just one b/c it was the only one we could afford

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

I always knew I wanted CLM...was gonna look at Fox Hollow but they never returned my calls. I'm VERY happy I had my wedding at CLM.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

north ritz club
hamlet wind watch
hamlet willow creek
westbury manor
metropolitan
milleridge
harbor club

so 6-9

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

the place we booked was only the 2nd one i looked at...looked at one after it only because i already had the appt...as soon as i saw my place i knew that was it...it was exactly what we wanted.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

just the OFC. i saw pics and it was exactly what we were looking for. i saw in person and that sealed the deal!

4 - honestly, one of the reasons I picked Giorgio's is the service was much more personalized. Other places I visited I felt just like a number...like I was one of the many brides they'd talked to that week, but Giorgio's followed up with a nice letter and a phone call. It wasn't so much a sales pitch as a thank you for meeting with them. In the end it was the right decision - their service (and food) definitely lived up to our expectations.

Just one, they had me at "Castle."
I have gone to a bunch of events there and KNEW it was the one for us...

we only looked at Crescent

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

I knew I wanted to get married at Russo's - just wasn't sure at the time that it would be financially possible.

But it was and I was so happy !

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

I did a trial test with 2 knowing I wanted my last choice. So 3 total.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

Hmmmm...I looked at

CLM
Fox Hollow
JT
NRC
Lands End
Flowerfield
Captain Bills

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

East Wind
Villa Lombardi's
Watermill
Swan Club

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

21.

Booked the 20th one we saw...I fell in love with it, and was glad I didn't settle for any of the ones I'd seen before it.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

we only looked at 3 the rest we ruled out prior to going since we were budgeted. DH loved our hall and pushed to book it, but i wanted to keep looking. After doing the tasting we didn't look any further.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

17!

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

2
We just knew that Timber Point was right for us - gave us the warm and fuzzies!

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

Booked the first one we saw.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

3. I always wanted the brownstoen since I saw photos of it but it was in such a sh!tty neighborhood we nixed it until we found out the other halls were EXPENSIVE and our florist said to guve the brownstone a shot because it was gorgeous and he loved the food. SO we did. They gave us the best deal so we booked and I got ym glass room!

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

Just one because we knew we wanted to get married at Russo's on the Bay.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

I have been to so many weddings and functions so I knew which ones to eliminate right away.

Flowerfield
Watermill
Woodlands
North Ritz Club
Fox Hollow

called DeSeversky -too small
Carlton on the Green - too $$$$$
Glen Cove Mansion - never called back.

We booked #4.
DH and I loved Woodlands, but it was just out of our budget.
NRC did not disappoint in the least, and worked out well as a midpoint for our guests that came from Queens and those that came from Suffolk.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked "the one?"

We booked the second place we looked at.
