Okay so long story short, my fiance works at this absolutely breathtaking building along the major river in our area, he has gotten the ok to use this as our venue for both the ceremony and reception. (they have held a few weddings previously there) His only dilema is the manager that would need to be present, she at other weddings has taken bottles of wine, etc off tables when people were starting to drink too much for her comfort. She also tried to tell one bride's DJ what should be done a certain way, and luckily for that bride he said no, thats not how she wants things. SO we are rethinking and maybe just want to hold the ceremony there in their courtyard along the river. and thinking of trying to look around at different venues to hold the reception. The thing that is hindering us is this venue was totally free, we wouldn't have to pay to hold it at his work. That right there is saving a lot of money. Would you suck it up and have it there or look at renting a "place?" I know ultimately its about us and what we want, just trying to get some feedback. We have a lil bit of time our wedding isn't until 9/25/10.thanks Laura
