Small reception

Anyone having a small wedding say under 100ppl?  Were looking to keep the cost down by having a smaller guest count but it seems to be harder to find a reception venue.  A few that I like needed between 120-150 ppl and we don't want to have that many. Pls reccomend you venue if your having a small wedding.  Area and price right now are not an issue.  And having a friday wedding won't work.

Thanks

    Also check out The Heathers in Bloomfield Hills. It's gorgeous and they accomodate all sizes

    Not sure about your flexibility but there are several venues that reduce their minimum count during off-seasons. 

     

    The Lark is nice! Very nice how they have uplighting included...

    We had a heck of a time finding a place for our smaller wedding too. Some unusual sites to check out:

      - museums and libraries. i.e., Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum
      - Michigan League or Union if you are affiliated with U-M
      - B&Bs can offer a variety of styles/sites
           -   Vitosha Guest Haus, Ann Arbor
           -   Wheatfield Inn, Williamston
           -   look online for some in Romeo and Mt. Clemens, I've forgotten their names
      -  Sharon Mills Park, Washtenaw County

    We're having a small reception too.  Laurel Manor is accomodating us with no problem.

    We are trying to keep our wedding to 70-75 people.  The places that could accommodate us were:
    The Inn at St. John - a bit out of our price range
    The Finnish Cultural Center - was our number one choice, but would have had to make some sacrifices - buffet style only, no complimentary champagne toast,
    Double Tree in Novi - This is where we are doing our reception.  We've just signed the contract and the Wedding coordinator there is A.W.E.S.O.M.E.


    Good Luck!

    Montague Inn in Saginaw...it's small and intimate...but a bit far from the Detroit area.

    It wasn't my venue, but HollyDoodle had her reception there and I'm pretty she had a small wedding.
