The right location!!

How would you know which is the right location?

Let’s start by saying the right locations is the one you’d like the most and the one offering you the most bang for your buck; however before choosing a location …. do your homework, see if it is within your budget, can you afford it? is this the location that you always dreamed about?,  the food is good, the service is second to none, the food presentation is unbelievable, the banquet manager is always available and courteous, there is always somebody willing to help you even when the Maitre D’ is busy with another bride; The right location makes things look like no effort at all, the right location let you be yourself and takes care of every guest professionally and with the most care, the right location would have you back again as a guest to their restaurant for a complementary dinner for you and your husband…

The New Wedding Decade!

The new decade is here and with it comes changes and challenges to our industry… things are changing rapidly and what it was cool back in 2000 is not even mentioned anymore around caterers, wedding planners  and brides to be. As we look forward to finally come out of a recession, new plans and new ideas are developing and will be happening soon. Ten years ago internet was very much still in its infancy, there was no Youtube and not Twitter; Social media was not born yet,  nowadays everyone is connected to some form of social media network and with Facebook reaching already almost 350 million subscribers, the world of catering is becoming smaller. brides are savvy brides now and they know what they want, they are connected, e mailing, posting, sending, twittering, facebooking, commenting, you tubing and many other new terms we learned over the last ten years. Thanks to all our brides to keep pushing us to be innovators in our industries from catering to photographers, video, music, bands, DJ’s and all other vendors;  I look forward to continue doing what is a passion to me and my colleagues in the industry……. more at Facebook, Twitter, my wedding blog, Youtube …..

Small weddings and small venues

I love small weddings and small venues, often brides think their wedding should be a big huge mega bash production when in reality there is nothing wrong with a small private celebration, there must be thousands of small venues that are available to host your wedding. small venues are fun and very private ( we are talking about 75 guest or under). They are easy to work with and the work load gets reduce to a minimum too. It’s also fun to find vendors since a lot of big name vendors don’t even bother with small affairs, however there are so many great vendors willing to work with you in any small venue that such task to find one should not be a problem! …Good food great music and some cocktails are the order of the day, intimate and private gatherings are always fun for a small nuptial event …. more at my blog, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook ….

Hiring Wedding Vendors

If you are getting married and looking to spend somewhere between $125.00 to $200.00 dollars per person and your guest list is around 200 invites chances are you’ll be hiring the best vendors in the wedding industry. Vendors come and go with all kinds of price tags attached to them …… from the need a least ninety day appointment waiting period to the ones that can actually meet with you the same day..
Choosing your vendors is a long and tedious process which involves time, e-mails, internet searches, phone calls, schlepping all over town to finally find someone that not only accommodates your budget but can do the job as you wish. Before signing the dotted line do your homework and negotiate…. remember we are still in a recession and money and time are important… check out the house recommended vendors, ask for any specials the house is offering, avoid rentals as much as you can, don’t forget a per person charge is NOT your final charge per guest…. tax and service charge will be added to your bill usually a total almost of 30% ….. more at Youtube, Twitter, My wedding blog, Facebook

The Inn at New Hyde Park

Welcome to one of the finest facilities here on Long Island The Inn at New Hyde Park centrally located with easy access from anywhere in the tri state area… all major highways are nearby…
The place has been in existence for over sixty years and it was very recently expanded … to the point that is almost 90% brand new… under new ownership and management, The Inn is now one of the more sought after locations in New York… Incredible and sprawling building with a great touch of elegance and sophistication The Inn offers everything a bride would like to have at her wedding; From the moment the bridal party arrives they are ushered into the most elegant bridal room (actually is more like an apartment with all the amenities) to the walking down the isle rehearsal with one of the Maitre D’s, The Inn offers everything whether your wedding is 350 guest or something smaller The Inn would accommodated you every need.
One of the things I was surprised about this location is not only the quantity of the food but the quality ……. absolutely outstanding from the passed around Hour Devourers to the cold display and the hot chaffing dishes ……. more at http://www.youtube.com/user/theweddingproject or www.youtube.com …..
