So the venue woes continue.
The theatre is way out. $4000 gets you a black box space with work lights. You have to bring in your own everything. So financially, not happening.
Then I follow the wonderful advise of
alisandre and check out the awesome spaces in montgomery county. Two of them were perfect. Like more perfect then I could say. So I call and I find out that every single MoCo space is booked for the entire monh of October because everybody wants to get married in 10/10. I don't actually care about 10/10, I just want the gorgeous leaves. Fall is my fave season and I want to get married in the fall.
So here is where I am looking now:
www.cprockville.com/social-celebrations.php They seem pretty nice. The don't charge a room rental per say for the reception. They do charge $250 to host the ceremony there. The prices includes:
- a cocktail hour
- reception meal
- minimum 3 hours open bar
- wedding cake or my choice of other dessert
- champagne toast
- coffee & tea with dessert
- soft drinks, dance floor
- centerpieces
- complimentary king room for the couple.
Then there are more expensive packages including other things like:
- Bridal suite
- Ice scuplture
- Placecards
- Chair covers and bows
I hadn't pictured getting married in a hotel, but this place might be nice. If all of that is included for $63-$74 per person I am off to a good start. I'll keep looking and I am still incredibly interested in hearing any ideas you may have, so please lay them on me.
