Hey ladies... any ideas for a small, intimate family reception location in May? We were thinking about a nice restaurant with a river view or something similar. Budget friendly is always preferable...
My wedding and reception are at the Weidemann Hill Mansion in Newport. It overlooks the city. They usually only deal with parties of under 60. It's beautiful and all original except electric (the house is over 100) and the bathroom connected to the kitchen. Good luck!
Another suggestion my dad always gave was the Celestial somewhere downtown. On a hill, lol. I don't know where it is, only that it over looks the city as well,
we are having <30 people and have rented a patio and private room at Jag's in west chester. they have various rooms to accomodate different size groups including a wine cellar. it is all based on a food and beverage minimum so there is no room fee. you just pay for the food and drinks you consume and as long as you meet that minimum you are good. plus, you get to customize a menu for your event to give people appetizers, soup/salad up to 4 main courses and 2 desserts. neither of us are huge cake fans so we are foregoing a wedding cake and offering cheesecake and carrot cake in place. the event planner laura has been fabulous to work with so far.
Chart House in Newport. friendly staff and it's on the river.
we're getting married next month and having our reception at a Chart House in Florida. last year we had dinner at the Newport location to see whether we liked the place and (obviously) had a great time.
