Need help with reception venue ideas!!

I'm getting married in Ocean Springs, MS. We want a reception site looking at the beach. The only problem is the best one for us is the same one my bride's sister is using, Biloxi Yacht Club. Thus it is presenting problems for us. The only other site we have contemplated is the Ocean Springs Yacht Club. I was looking for ideas on an affordable beach reception site. We are getting married at a church in Ocean Springs. Wondering if anyone knows of a good place nearby. Please help!!

  • Post this on a local Mississippi area board.  This board is international.  I'm in NJ and know absolutely nothing about Mississippi.  Local boards will be more help with specifics like this.  GL
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    I don't really see why you can't use the same venue that your FSIL is using.  It's not like both weddings are going to be exactly the same~colors, people, styles, even 1/2 of the guests will be different.

  • I don't see a problem using the same site.  There will be so many differences.  Choose a different band, serve different food, have different flowers...   It will be your wedding.  My best friend and her sister got married at the same place and I am getting married there as well.  Once decorated, you would never know it was the same place.  You will be surprised at how different it will be once you put your ideas and decor in it.
