Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?

our first was Land's End, but it was out of our price range... our seconds were CLM and Bridgeview... we would don either, but got luck with an open date at CLM and I am super happy about the way it all worked out!

WM was our 1st choice and when we were on our way to make a payment we stopped by CB and fell in love with it so we booked with them instead.

Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?

The Foundry in LIC was actually my first choice. Unfortunately we'd have to rent the outside space and if we did that, we could not have a DJ or band outside so we'd be really limited for dancing and the party would kind of be broken up which I didn't like.

My DREAM venue would be Tribeca Rooftop but so there was no way. ::Sigh:: FH fell in love with JT. He actually teared up when he imagined us getting married there. It was a done deal then. LOL!

Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?

Where I'm having it now is my second choice. First was Russo's on the Bay, but we changed the month and it wasn't available.I also had constant complaing from family about the traffic traveling out there.

Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?

our hall was both our second choices.
my first choice was Majestic Gardens... but they gave us the runaround for a LONG time.. so in the end, I'm happy we didn't go with them.
FHs first choice was West Lake Inn...
but when we went to our hall we both walked out happy.. and that's what made us choose it... we both AGREED on it.
Together our other choice would have been the Coral House...

Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?


Posted by StaceyWill

Our 2nd choice was Jericho Terrace, but Leonard's won out just because I'd been there before and FH fell in love with it.



ours was JT too. but we didn't like the fact that the room was still under renovations and we didn't want to book without seeing it finished. so we went with Leonard's.

Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?

My second choice was Oheka, it was my first choice but my FH HATED it and thought it was impersonal. So we choose not to book it.

Re: Stolen from '11 - What was your second choice RH?

If you ask me, it was Bridgeview Yacht Club, but if you ask FH, it was the Huntington Harbor Club.

FH loved VYC tho and I only liked it. Then when my family came to see it, my Dad said, "Grandpa would have loved this."

That was that. We booked VYC.

before we saw our RH we saw VIP Country Club and we just love it! but we couldnt afford it due to the high min, and went to see GI, which worked out great cause as we stepped in we knew thats where we want to be married



That's so funny. We had the opposite experience. VIP was willing to work with us on the min. while Glenn Island wouldn't budge.



Glenn Island wouldnt budge on ANYTHING for us either! oh well their loss!

We would have LOVED garden city hotel, bc thats were we met, but we just assumed it would be way to much... that or I wanted tribeca rooftop but that was way to much
