My fiance and I are not very formal and prefer a casual wedding. We had wanted to have a reception in my backyard, but believe space will be an issue. I was thinking of having a cocktail reception instead of a formal sit-down reception, to keep everything somewhat casual. I am just having trouble finding the right venue. I'd love a cool jazz club feel, or something like that. I'm just not sure if there is anything like that in the albany/saratoga area for ~150-175 people. We've also talked about having something at a camp in the lake george area, but all the venues I've seen feel too formal.
