Calling All Brides!

Hi everyone!

I am newly engaged, and brand new to the LIW site. Many of my friends have used the help of other brides on here in the past so I am hoping some of you can help me as well :)I look forward to chatting with you!

I am starting to look into reception locations and I could really use some recommendations. I am having a bit of a hard time finding places to look into that fit what I would like.

Here's what I'm looking for:
a beautiful/elegant reception hall,
great food,
on or near the water (for water views),
Long Island preferable, but am not opposed to Queens or Brooklyn,
Will need to accomodate appx 200-225 guests,
Doesn't break the bank (does that even exist? lol).

We are looking into a Spring 2014 wedding and will be having our ceremony in a church, so the RH does not need to have a ceremony space.

Thank you all in advance for your help/recommendations. This is such an exciting time and I can't wait to hear what you all have to say!!!

Re: Calling All Brides!

Lands End is gorgeous, as well as Giorgios! However, they are on the more expensive side. Happy Planning! :)

Check out the Riviera; it's in Massapequa with a gorgeous view of the water. Plus, it's very well priced.

The Riviera is amazing and has really great prices, but I'm honestly not sure if you can get 200 in there comfortably.

Oops! Didn't see the size -- definitely don't think it will fit that many either! sorry

Windows on the Lake

Re: Calling All Brides!

Windows on the Lake is nice and reasonably priced. I am getting married there this Dec and I have to say I was given a great price and a lot of extras. The lake is across the street but directlt across the street so there is a water view and it accomodates something like 300 people. The Beach Club their other venue is on the other side of the lake but the view is right on the lake but they are for the smaller weddings like 125 to 150 people. I would def recommend you at least give them a call and check it out.

This! of course I'm a bit biased to Land's End. :)

I also checked out Bridgeview Yacht Club, and almost booked there. More reasonable pricng and still beautiful.

Riviera is also really nice and on the water but a bit small for that many people, IMHO.

Hope that helps!

Re: Calling All Brides!

Bridgeview Yacht Club- I really loved them. I wanted to book there but they did not have my date available. I meet with Kathy she was very helpful.

Venetian Yacht Club- I loved them from the moment I saw the pictures online. I really love it and it's beautiful. The view is amazing. The service is also good. I know I will have a wonderful wedding.

Waterview Club- I liked it; the view is beautiful. Not sure if it's big enough for the amount of people you will have but it's worth visiting. Especially since they do a food tasting during the first visit and the food is good.


Good luck!!! Have fun with the planning. It's a good thing you're looking now. I started at the end of last year and booked in November for my May 2013 wedding. Everyone thought I was crazy for looking early but time will fly. Although my wedding is not until next year I'm starting to feel the pressure with planning and booking vendors.

The Crescent Beach Club in Bayville!!! It is so beautiful and the food is amazing!

I am not sure you would fit in Riviera or Lombardis on the sound. You might just fit in The Harbor Club in Huntington. All the others mentioned I did see as well and are great.

Re: Calling All Brides!

Hands down, Land's end is exactly what you are looking for. Lombardi's on the Sound OR Bay depending on how many people you are having.
