A Catholic wedding.

CyLor

Hello!  My fiance and I live in Madison, Wisconsin, and have been engaged for just over a month now.  We're trying to figure out venues for our wedding, which is difficult since we live so far away.  Does anyone know of or recommend any nice churches near a good, indoor reception site?  A large number of out-of-town guests will be attending and I don't want them to have to make a long trek across town.

Obviously I'd like to not have an outrageously priced venue but we're pretty open to what's available.

Thank you!

I'm not Catholic myself, but there is a gorgeous Catholic church downtown called San Fernando Cathedral, and they have 2 banquet halls (one holds something like 120 and the other one is a block walk away and holds something like 400 I think) I'm not sure how much they charge for the church, but here's a link.

Here is a list of Catholic churches in San Antonio who have a Parish reception hall by the church:

San Fernando Cathedral: http://www.sfcathedral.org/hallrental.html   They have two halls, one right next door to the church, the other across the street about a block down.  The farther one is larger and seats 500.

Blessed Sacrament: http://www.bscc-sa.org/index.php?pgref=hall

Feel free to private message me if you have other questions.  I did a lot of research recently on this topic, but my fiance insisted on a hotel reception.  There are other churches with reception halls, but these are the nicest ones out there, in my opinion.   Best of luck!!
