wedding hall scouting!

today, the hubbie and i went to two different places in Long Island to check out some places to have our wedding at. our first stop was at Crest Hollow- it was a beautiful country club with a huge pool in the middle. it looked GORGEOUS! i can only imagine how it looks at night.. ugh. breathtaking! anyways, so this is def. our #1 choice if we wanted to have our wedding OUTDOORS. here are some pics:

and the other place we stopped by was a place called Fox Hollow, which was also another beautiful property. this place was def. a little more traditional but it had a cozy feeling to it. they also have a hotel that's a couple of steps away, and they gave out a complimentary room for the bride + groom for a night, which i thought was really nice (also discounted rates for our guests). now the menu for this place was a lot better than the other one, and the prices were a little cheaper. it was only cheaper because if we were supposed to do it here, then we'd have an indoor wedding in around November, and it was a little cheaper then than doing it on October. here are some pics:

so far, this is what we got. 2 places.. we're going to look for more places since we have a litltle bit of time left, but hmm.. this is so exciting! :)
