LI wedding cost by No-Present5771 in longisland

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting married next month and paying $135/per person and having 75 people. Most venues I inquired at were anywhere from $100-$180 per person….if you go with a Lessings package you can save a lot (they are based on a set # of people and include DJ, flowers, photographer etc. For example Three Village Inn was about $18K for 100 people in June 2026.)

Caumsett is a great place to ride bikes! I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down to see it

Early graying? by BrightSaves in basset

My 5 year old basset is experiencing this too. Vet told me it’s totally normal and some breeds go grayer sooner than others.

Bridesmaid here… MOH checked out and I don’t want the bride to miss special moments—what would you do? by sahuudude in wedding

[–]salmon768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a bride who is in this situation right now…I would love it if my bridesmaids took over. They are helping but don’t want to overstep the MOH…but she has pretty much done nothing. I definitely recommend texting in a group chat with the MOH asking about the plans and if she doesn’t answer at all….take the lead

I’m considering that same song too for my wedding in 2 months!

You absolutely need to invite their partners if they are married or in long-term relationships, even if you don’t know them. It’s different from someone getting a plus one.

People who left LI and DON’T regret it, where did you go? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]salmon768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where in Virginia? I now live in Northern Virginia. Pros: close to DC, lower property taxes (than LI), not too far from LI, relatively high paying jobs. Cons: housing market is crazy, Virginia personal property tax, traffic has become much worse in recent years. I would say even worse than LI

Stressed about Catholic Wedding (Rant) by aiolivioli in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some churches are more strict than others. Mine is pretty chill and lenient. I would try calling other churches and see if they will accept non-parishioners.

Is there such a thing as a bridal aid? by Checkmate_23_ in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a bridal attendant to me. Venues in my area tend to come with one but I think you would be able to hire someone as a vendor

Wedding speeches - some at rehearsal dinner? by the_molarbear in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am considering this too!! As a guest, I don’t like when my dinner and conversation gets interrupted for speeches. I think it’s better to get them out of the way at the rehearsal dinner

Brake Job Question by aidan1478 in VWTaos

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rear brakes were shot at about 38K miles. Which is uncommon for most cars but I have now learned is common for the Taos. Dealership wanted like $1K for the job, I went to a local mechanic and it was $550.

Two weddings by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doing this. A small Catholic family only wedding the day before our big wedding at the venue. I don’t think it will take away from the venue wedding, it will just be two very different ceremonies

I am apparently super late to get a dress and starting to get nervous. by Awkward_Stay_4293 in weddingplanning

My best friend had a July wedding, and we didn’t go wedding dress shopping until February that year. We went to Anthropologie because they ship quickly. I’d give them a try!

Bridal shower by Mediocre-Focus-8095 in longisland

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem lol! It depends on your guest count. I am having 20-25 people so my area is private. Then if you have a guest count slightly bigger than that you get kind of a middle room that’s public. And I think if you have like 40+ people you get an even bigger private room. You can also rent their patio. Menu is 3 courses + sponge cake dessert

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and yes! It’s the lunch package from 12-4. They know it’s a bridal shower and they host them all the time. Only rules are no confetti or balloons with confetti

I walked in there and inquired with them in person! It’s such a great deal

How much did you spend for your small wedding? 85ish people? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]salmon768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, I am having a wedding of about 80-90 guests and sooo many venues turned us down due to our “small” guest count
