katie79 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Any Long Islanders/ New Yorkers here? My fiance actually pulled the triggers on looking for a reception hall! He made a few appointments for us to look last weekend, and we might have actually found a place. Next, he is looking for a church. After all this, what comes next for shopping and booking? I ask LI advice b/c we are setting the date for June 17th 2006. It sounds far away to some people, but in Long Island, it's different. When my fiance and I went to the halls, they were completly booked for 2005 already! Some places wouldn't bother even making an appt over the phone w/me because they were booked from March 2005-Nove 2005! Can you believe how fast things fill up? So what's next on our agenda?

NatoPMT Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 UK bridal magazines include an editorial pull-out wedding organiser in every issue which has a checklist of timings and the order you need to book/organise everything in. I dreamt I was getting married last night but when I looked down I was wearing wellies instead of Emma Hope heels. Bah. BB Link to post Share on other sites
Author katie79 Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Thanks blem! Here in LI, weddings are very different in comparison to other countries, or other states. They are very big. Planning starts a year to a year-in-a-half early. But it all goes by fast. Thanks for the advice! Link to post Share on other sites
lexnmike4enomore Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 My Mother lives in the Hamptons. I'm sure you already have a church but.....there's a cute little chapel called Wainscot Chapel. Its across the street from the bay OMG its Picture perfect. If i knew you better i would say have it at my moms estate. Thats where I'm having mine. But there's a place called Kiplings in Bridge Hampton. I'm not sure if you are willing to travel that far into LI. But need anything else PM me and well talk I know LI like the back of my hand!
