I have been engaged for two months and all I have done is search venues. I am getting nowhere
I have browsed through the boards on here looking for suggestions but most are for the East Valley. I live in North Phoenix, I would like the venue to be in Phoenix/Scottsdale/Glendale area. I want an outdoor ceremony, and an indoor reception preferably with a nice patio for the coctail hour. My budget is about $9K for the venue space, food and beverage (beer & wine only) for 150 people. I would like a space that allows the reception to go as late as 11pm or midnight. I must be able to bring in my own vendors for entertainment & photography as I already have my heart set on those and don't want to be stuck on a "preferred list". I would like the space to be beautiful and classy. I do not want an overly southwestern look, it just doesn't go with my theme. Any suggestions??? Thanks!!
