hi all! i got engaged last month (yay!) and i've been lurking the boards since then...this is my first time posting though! my fiance and i are having a hard time finding a venue we like and i was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions. we're going to have 200 guests. there are certain things we are looking for though:
1. broward/south palm beach/north miami location
2. indoor space for both ceremony and reception (the only thing i'd consider having outside would be cocktail hour)
3. vintage style/unusual venue. we're not into the modern look of things or typical ballrooms. we want the wedding to have a gatsby type feel to it.
we loved the addison in boca, but it was too small for us and we didn't like the separate rooms. we loved a bunch in coral gables (westin colonnade, douglas entrance, cocoplum), but south miami is too far for all of our relatives.
if anyone has any suggestions of venues that might work for us, i would appreciate it so much! i'm getting pretty disparaged
can't wait to start talking to everyone on the boards as more planning gets underway!
