Please suggest Sites and Coordinators in Memphis

Knottie97546744

I am from Pittsburgh and am planning a Memphis wedding. Please suggest venues for me that can hold the ceremony and reception. I am possibly heading down soon for a visit and would like to view places.

Also if you can recommend a Wedding Coordinator that has experience working with an out-of-town bride, that would be great!

Thanks so much in advance

I'm not sure how many guests you're planning to have but the only other places that can hold a ceremony and reception for 200 or more are:

• The Cadre Building - every girl who looks at this LOVES it but most guys don't (that's why we wound up with the Brooks) they're also a little overpriced for what they offer
• The Peabody - gorgeous too, but definitely on the pricier side and music has to be off by 10:30pm if you use the roof or skyway
• The Balinese Ballroom - it's a pretty big space at a great price but it's designed to look like a loft and we live in a loft so it didn't feel "special" or different enough for our wedding
• The Botancial Gardens - to be perfectly honest, it's the crappiest botanical gardens I've ever seen (other than the japanese garden, it's pretty nice) and I don't love having a wedding ceremony outdoors where the guests are seated VERY far away  

I don't have any recommendations for a wedding planner b/c I used to be one so I'm obviously not using one.  We're not from here either (I moved here from St. Louis last year to be with my fiance while he finishes his Ph.D at UT) but I've researched everything here and would be happy to answer any questions or make recommendations.  You can send me a message on here or send an email to my screen name at hotmail.

What do you think for 30-40 people? No budget

I used a coordinator from Southern Event Planners and I loved her! She was awesome and completely on top of everything. I am from out of town and she was great about keeping in touch and working with me.
