Crest Hollow Country Club seems to be regaining popularity in our velt. Lovely to have an outdoor chuppah provided the weather cooperates. Ditto Marina Del Rey.
I remember telling a cousin of mine, who was raving about the food at a wedding he attended, that if that’s what he remembers best, it probably wasn’t very leibidich. Which is to say that no one will remember if you made it in a fancy, different place or not, because that’s not the essence of the simcha. The ruach is.
