Help in choosing reception site.

JoanneBL

Hello - my fiance and I are between 2 locations for having the reception at, both are beautiful and would fit what we want, but one is $2,500 more than the other. Choice AAttached to a bowling alley, guests must briefly enter alley to use the public bathrooms but or else is completely private and you can not tell that you are attached to a bowling alley. Plus side, we would be the only wedding/gathering take place that day and it is $2,500 less than choice BChoice BIs a hotel with only 1 other gathering that could take place. This fits everything except the more hefty price tag. I guess I just dont know if it is worth saving the $2,500?? or should i splurge and go for the hotel that fits everything but that makes the budget harder to follow. We figured if we go with Choice A we would be able to spend a little extra every where else.... HELP!

I personally would go with the bowling alley. I couldn't justify spending $2500 more for a place just because people have to walk through a public place to use the restroom. Plus that frees up more money for other things.

Bowling alley, and maybe use a portion of the savings to upgrade the food or drinks.

Forget the bowling alley for a minute. What place fits your vision? I would go with B cause hotels are usually nice and they do EVERYTHING for you, BUT if A is stunning on the inside and it's only down fall is the bathroom/bowling alley, then go with that.Good Luck!

$2,500 is a LOT to pay for a bathroom.  You could probably rent some pimped out port-a-potties for that price.
