    We're getting married at Bellport Country club in suffolk county.. its very elegant and traditional- sort of with an old plantation feel.  I guess it depends on your budget, tastes and locaton.

    What is your price range?  When do you want to get married?  What type of space are you looking for (casual, modern, traditional, etc.)?  It's hard to provide advice without that information, because the venue I think is perfect might not be what you have in mind.

    Personally, I'm getting married at the Fox Hollow and I'm very happy with it so far.

    Woodbury Country Club was our second choice-we ended up going with Fox Hollow-I just could not get it out of my head!

    First of all, your wedding is almost 3 years away - it's a little early to be looking for a venue (especially in March, that's an off-season month, so you shouldn't have much of an issue booking then, unless you're trying to get married on a particularly popular day (dates like 11/11/11 or 9/10/11 tend to book up fast).  That said, I think you will be extremely hard-pressed to find a "modern" venue on LI for that price.  There are some great places out there for around $80 a person (especially if you go with a Friday or Sunday wedding, or a Saturday afternoon), but the places that have the look it sounds like you're going for (I'm thinking primarily Hotel Allegria in Long Beach, I don't know of any others with that look) are much, much more expensive than $80 pp.  You might want to consider expanding your search to restaurants or venues in NYC.

    I'm getting married at the Riviera in Brooklyn! It's a little pricey. We originally weren't going to book there but we saved on other venues by booking with them. When we went to see the place we fell in love with it. They offer so much with the package it was very hard to refuse. Since we booked early we saved on the amount per person. It's better to book early because many of theses places go up in price every year. Good luck!
