I'm having a hard time finding a venue for reception (food&bar) under 20k. I am looking for anything from Ocean City/DE beaches up to Stevensville. I love CBBC but for ~150 guests with rental cost its looking like 30k. Most of the places I have looked (Harbourtowne, Lighthouse Sound) have antique looking old carpet that I hate and cannot get past. So...I was trying to avoid a tented reception due to renting everything seperately but now it seems like it's what I may have to do.
The question is this...would renting a floor for the tent be too costly? Does anyone have suggestions of venues with patios so that I wouldn't have to rent a floor? I can't picture people having to walk on grass.
Any ideas/advice would be helpful. Thanks!
