Just wanted to post a quick note that our reception for 90 people at the Durham Bulls game on Sept 1 (Third Base Party Deck) was so much fun and really enjoyable by everyone. A bunch of our guests said they thought it was The Best Wedding Reception Ever. So, if you're thinking about the bulls for 2013, I say go for it. Jessica Kennedy was our contact there, and did a great job in working with Centerplate Catering (the stadium caterer) to customize our menu (nachos!!) and in working with our DOC to allow decorations to be set-up -- I think the Bulls even provided staff to help with set-up. They also had champagne ready to go when we got there and let us all come in 30 minutes before the gates opened. We got to take photos on the field (just DH and I), and could have arranged for a separate photo shoot if we'd wanted (it might have been extra, I'm not sure -- we didn't do any engagement-type photos excpet ones we took ourselves).
Anyway, just wanted to put it out there as a great outside the box option. DH and I don't like to dance, and so a traditional dancing/music-focused reception wouldn't have fit us well. We stayed in our full wedding gear, and asked our families to dress up for the wedding itself, but told everyone they could wear anything they wanted to the ballgame. It was 95 degrees that day, so most people did change!
