My FI and I have been engaged for over six months and STILL don't have a venue picked out. We'd really like to host our reception in a hotel. We have fallen in love with St. John's because it has a hotel attached and the Atrium is a different type of room - it doesn't feel like we've been to a business meeting there. It's really stretching our budget but we can do it by scaling back on a couple of other things. But now it feels like things just keep getting added on. Do you have any suggestions for hotel venues that are a little less expensive than St. John's but don't feel like a meeting/conference room? Or did you consider something like St. John's and then go a different direction? And if so, which direction did you go? We're hoping to host between 120 and 135 people and we've looked at Greektown and the Dearborn Inn. Thanks! Thanks!
