Hello brides! Need your opinion this venue. It’s at Glen Island Harbor Club. It’s beautiful and has great views. Pictures don’t do it justice, the view is the main show stopper. It has many good reviews and the majority rave about how great the food is. This is was not on my top venue list, but it’s the only one (so far) that has availability for next fall. Im worried that the available date will get booked if I keep looking elsewhere. What are your thoughts on this location?

    It looks great. How far away is it from where most of the guests are coming from?

    I think it's beautiful and it has a gorgeous view for sure. Food is probably one of the most talked about parts of wedding so if it has great reviews in that aspect as well, I'd say it's definitely a contender. 2021 is definitely booking fast though thanks to covid and if it's been the only place so far with your date available, I would consider it. You just have to figure which is more important. Keep looking and possibly lose out on the venue OR being prepared with having to change your date for your top choice venues??

    It's a beautiful venue! Make sure that you are able taste the food yourself and not rely solely on other opinions before you decide and book the venue.


    I would still keep an open mind and tour a couple other places as well.

    I'd go for it! It looks gorgeous and spacious! And if many of the reviews are praising the food then that's a big plus!

    Do they have an option to hold the date (my venue did 7 days) while you tour other venues? That way you can look quick but have that safeguard so you don't have to worry about losing it.

    It looks like a beautiful venue! If you're still unsure or want to look at a few other options, is the venue willing to put a soft hold on that date for you for a couple weeks while you decide?

    It’s beautiful and the views are stunning. The best part is the style and colors are fairly neutral so you can decorate it any way you want (although a rustic vibe would be tough). Guests care most about good food/drinks (and being comfortable—climate control, enough restrooms, etc), so great food reviews are a plus!


    If you absolutely love another venue, consider a Sunday wedding at a venue you love more (usually Fri & Sat book up).

    Looks great and perfect spacing. If you love it and the reviews are pretty good, I'd book it soon! It's only 4 weekends in a month and they can be gone within a blink of the eye; that's how I look at it lol Maybe take another day to do as much research as you can to see if it's anything else worth checking out, then decide. Good luck!

    Thanks everyone. We decided not to go with this place. The deciding factor was the contract. They didn’t allow refunds in case things get worse with Covid. We are booking the heritage club at Bethpage. We will have an 1-6pm wedding. Not ideal but the space is worth it!
