My girlfriend had her reception at the Fleet Reserve. Enormous - she got all her 7th District relatives in that place and that was no small feat considering most of them top 300#. Food was very nice (I can't remember if they did it there or she had a caterer).DoWhat said:

I know it seems snobby, but perception being reality....and we just went through this with our Christmas party last year.

The room IS lovely and they DO put on a nice spread but....after careful consideration, it was moved to Olde Breton Inn.It's a shame really. These places work so hard to upgrade their facilities and clientele but we kind of
when we hear the name.
And it depends on what kind of event you're having. If you want something elegant, you don't do it at the VFW. Not that the VFW isn't very nice, but it just isn't right. Doesn't fit the theme.bresamil said:

My main concern is the wedding. The wedding ceremony is what is meaningful to me and what I want to be nice and have in a nice venue.
The reception on the other hand is really just a big party. Cheap and easy is good (no comments from the peanut gallery)! Mind you we're paying for everything ourselves so we've already decided to tone it down a notch or two and make it much less formal.

Have you given any thought to having the first ever official wedding in the Curch of Peteology? Since I have my own holiday that is a rival of Kwanzaa I started my own religion to rival Scientology, just less nutty.

That's what I was trying to say. The wedding I was at had about 60 people and it was in the afternoon on Sat. The bar area was still open to members so those of us in the smoking, bar area were with the regulars. The Dj set up and played in the hall itself and with dancing it was quite cramped and hot.

I think the wedding ceremony and recption are two different events all together. The wedding ceremony, I don't know that I'd call it elegant but it will be a regular Christian ceremony held in a church.
The reception on the other hand, will be later and a "cocktail hour" reception. Which really means.... PARTY TIME!

We got married on the Solomon's Annex and had our reception at a reception hall there as well. You have to submit your guest list in advance for approval, everyone has to stop at the pass office for a temp pass, and you have to have a sponsor. I can't remember if they let DOD personnel rent their facilities. They told us that PAX was less lax in their policies.SamSpade said:
