@marcam882:So glad to hear it! Would love to see some pictures! What stations did you go with for the cocktail hour? We're going to the Pastry Garden next month to taste the cake options, and then finalizing our stations on Bridal Day. Congrats on becoming a Mrs. ; )
@BelleBridetobe: I'd be happy to email you some pictures if you'd like; unfortunately I'm not super tech savvy and my previous experiences in trying to upload pics here have failed. For our cocktail hour, we went with the mini potato latkes with smoked salmon (my absolute fave), crab cakes, goat cheese with tomato and basil, samosa with mango chutney, grilled citrus shrimp, puffed cheese ravioli (kids love this), and the spanikopita.
And I can't say enough amazing things about the Pastry Garden! I brought them a picture of a 6 tiered pink cake with hearts scrollwork I found in Martha Stewart weddings that I fell in love with, and they recreated the look exactly with buttercream frosting instead of fondant! I paid only a minimal fee (less than 100 bucks) to upgrade the design and the cake tasted even more amazing at our wedding than during the tasting.
And thanks, being a newlywed has been amazing! Please PM me if you have any more questions.
@marcam882: Hi! Thanks so much for the info. Would love to see some pics if you wouldn't mind - love looking at the Round Hill all done up! My email is lauren.aboyoun@gmail.com. Glad newlywed life is treating you well. Happy Early New Year!!
We're haveing our reception at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel. Its beautiful inside and the price wasn't bad at all to have it there. 
@sassy2582: a BIG hello to all! i'm newly engaged and really really interested in getting married someplace non-traditional. i'm thinking hippie-chic/ rustic elegance type thing:) the kicker is i'm on a super tight budget. i am basically envisioning a kick ass cocktail hour that never ends! so food isn't a big deal to me. flowers aren't a big deal to me. I just want an amazing party in an outrageously gorgeous rustic setting. I'm big on the barn idea as well. does anyone know anything about cost for:
full moon resort
cole hill estate- i literally cannot find any contact info and the one number listed is out of order
shadow lawn
apple barn farm
I am SO open to other ideas as well. I haven't been engaged long and i'm already a bit overwhelmed with the planning process. I feel like once I have a venue then I can relax a bit and start having way more fun with all of this. So come on, gals! Help a sister out.....

@dmerker: Check out the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel! They have so many packages you can pick from. Its beautiful inside. One month until I have my reception there.
