Hi everyone! After 7 long years, my fiance and I will get married next year on our 8th year anniversary of dating. We want to do something simple and inexpensive since we don't care for grand weddings, and I've been married before anyways. We want to get married on a weekday at the courthouse and either have a celebration/reception dinner that night or a lunch or dinner on the weekend.
We average that we will have about 50 of our immediate family and close friends attending. So far I've looked at just about everywhere online and haven't found a place I'm 100% happy with. We live in the Kendall area as does the majority of the ppl attending the lunch/dinner. We don't really want to go north past the Hialeah area and nothing past south of The Falls. We don't mind the downtown, Key Biscayne or South Beach area.
We went to the Aero Squadron and like their ballroom, but aren't thrilled about the food. That will be where we book as a last resort. We might go check out Perricone's next week, but I already dislike that there's a parking fee plus have read some review's that I don't like. Rusty Pelican is just a tad more than what we'd like to pay....
I'm looking for a restaurant that is economical, has good tasting food, has an option for open bar, and that of course I can bring stuff to add to the tables like flowers and party favors. An option to provide the cake or for us to bring the cake is a must as well.
I feel that I can't even pick out my dress until I figure out if we are doing a lunch thing or a dinner thing. Any suggestions? Please help, I'm going mad doing this!!!
