Reception Site Help Please

alexiscaroline

Hi all!
So my sister is newly engaged but lives in Maryland. I figured since the Knot helped sooooo much when I got married (and the Bump when I had my babies!), I would ask you ladies for some help in looking for a reception site. They are set on March 31 for a date and will have about 100 people. Budget for venue is hopefully under $200. She would like to be able to have an outside caterer who will bring in hors d'overs and desserts. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated!

Hello
Is there a specific area she wants to get married- by the beach, in a park, etc?
That would be really helpful.

nope, nothing specific, altho i would assume an indoor venue because snow might be an issue, still

The only indoor venue I can think of for $200 or less that accommodates 100 and where you can bring in your own food is the carousel at Goddard Park in Potowomut (Warwick) but it doesn't start renting until April 1. I'd start checking out VFW halls and such.

She might be better off doing an all-inclusive place where they might waive the room rental fee because it's the off season ...

Yeah, I agree with Goddard Park.  We're having our ceremony there and its $200 for the day (including chairs) + the day before set up.  The only issue there is that you cannot have alcohol, so that's why we're having our reception at Quidnessett down the street.

The North Beach Clubhouse in Narragansett is a good option right on the beach, and its on the less expensive side. Downside is the limit is 100 guests, which is a strict limit there.
