Hi!
my fiance and I would love to have a weekend long wedding. We live right outside of NYC and do not want a local wedding since we do not want everyone leaving directly after our wedding. We are hoping for a venue about 1.5 hrs or more away from nyc/westchester. We would plan a welcome event that evening at a local bar/restaurant near the venue or if the resort/venue has options. Saturday we would hope to have a casual morning for our guests, perhaps a nice town to walk around or a venue/resort that has acitivities (golf, pool, spa) or near a beach. We will have about 300 people at hte wedding so we wiill need a large ballroom for it that will haver a good sized dance floor. After we would like a casual afterparty (either at a local bar or at another location from hall for those who do not want to go to home after reception). Sunday would be a simple bunch for guests/perhaps a nice lunch.
issues are that we would love a beach vibe/small coastal town but we can only really get married in may/april....we MAY be able to do July...and then that would change options....but i would love any suggestions for venues....or even towns to look into
THanks!
