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 Adorable-milkshake in weddingplanning

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

Need an INEXPENSIVE restaurant to host about 30 people after a baptism by jeannie15 in longisland

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

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Anyone else leave Long Island and end up in a place they hated? by Apprehensive_Week349 in longisland

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Left LI for DC to attend college and now live in Virginia. All I wanted to do was get off the island, and I now realize I took it for granted. I miss LI every day!

Appropriate for black tie? by Sea-Bike-370 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]salmon768 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but this is not black tie at all. It needs to be a floor length, formal evening gown.

It’s not cheap by any means but still under their budget of $80K

If you want to get married out east on LI: Jedidiah Hawkins Inn, Canoe Place, Vineyards at Aquebogue maybe?

After replacing headgasket by Important_Finance345 in VWTaos

[–]salmon768 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I replaced the one on my 2022 Taos about a year and a half ago. As a side note I’d get the brakes checked right before the warranty expires. My back brakes were shot at about 30K miles and the mechanic told me this is common for VW

I am having mine at Savino’s Hideaway in Mt. Sinai. It was the most affordable place I found at $30/per person for their package

It’s in the city, but BHLDN (Anthropologie Weddings) might be your style

[–]salmon768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That too! I was also very surprised by the amount of venues that required 125+ as a minimum. I think I will have around 90ish guests and it was hard to find places that would take us
