Today, we gave the deposit for our reception venue, Victor's Event Room. My mom and mother-in-law joined us so they can see it. They both said that it was veryyy nicce but also thought it was small.... which kinda bummed me.
We are inviting 180 guests, but maybe only 160 will show (who knows). We arent having any children at our reception other than my son, little brothers and flower girl, so I dont think it'll turn out less than great!
Now that the deposit has been made, I kinda feel in FULL planning mode..lol.
They provide, tables, chairs, set-up, clean-up, bartenders, linens and you can use their centerpieces, which I am. They provide glass drinking glasses since you aren't permited to bring/use water bottles or can drinks.
I love the romantic and elegant feel that the venue provides. Since the reception is going to be at night, it'll be dark and the dim lighting and floating candle centerpieces will look great!
rmmharrison: thank you. that's the plan, we want to have nice, elegant reception, to enjoy our families and have a great time.
