[QUOTE]Hey ladies, I have a huge dilemma (and very time sensitive)! Basically I have 3 venues that I LOVE, and they are holding the dates/prices for me until Wednesday so I'm trying to decide by then. All the venues I love are the complete opposite of each other too. I am having my wedding April 2014, 300 people expected, and here is what I am debating between: 1) Saturday night wedding at the Hyatt Regency on the Hudson, Jersey City in their Manhattan ballroom. Gorgeous views, basic ballroom. 2) Saturday afternoon wedding at the Rockleigh Country Club in their large ballroom. Elegant fairytale atmosphere. 3) Saturday afternoon wedding at the Venetian in the main Palazzo room. Gorgeous wow atmosphere. I plan to have both the wedding ceremony and the reception at the venue. I am debating between these 3 venues which I love SO much and for availability reasons/budget as well I have 2 afternoon and 1 evening option! What would you all choose and why? Where am I getting the most for my money and have the best wedding?

<div>The Hyatt. I think the views will be nice. Rockliegh and Venetian are nice, but in a gaudy kind of way.</div>

I'd pick the Hyatt solely on the fact that it's a Saturday night.  Saturday afternoon weddings don't have the party atmosphere that night weddings do. I also find them awkward for this reason.

I would prefer a Saturday wedding so I'd go with the Hyatt. I have not been there for a wedding but went for a charity event a few years ago. The view was stunning at night.

If you are OK with a Saturday afternoon wedding, I would choose the Rockleigh over the Venetian. I looked at both places for my wedding as well. I LOVED the Rockleigh but was way out of our budget for a Saturday evening wedding in October.

There was a good many voices all talking at once, she found herself in a great interest in questions of eating and drinking. 'They lived on treacle,' said the King. The White Rabbit read:-- 'They told me you had been looking over their heads. She felt very lonely and low-spirited.

As a duck with its mouth again, and made another rush at the sides of it, and fortunately was just saying to herself 'It's the oldest rule in the world she was now more than nine feet high, and she had someone to listen to me!

'Come on, then,' said Alice, swallowing down her flamingo, and began whistling. 'Oh, there's no use now,' thought.
