Our wedding is going to take place in Gatlinburg, TN on Saturday August 18, 2012. A select amount of guests are getting invited to go see the actual wedding ceremony and then to a dinner afterwards. We will be honeymooning there as well. When we get back to Cincinnati, OH, (the east side) we want to throw a reception for both of our families complete with a slideshow of pictures and possibly a video of the ceremony for the guests to see. Most of our family likes to drink. We want something affordable.
Option 1: Church Hall - affordable, able to do slideshow, could cater or have a buffet. No alcohol allowed.
Option 2: Park - could rent a pavillion, alcohol in coolers, deffinately affordable. No slideshow (i've not been able to come up with any ideas of how to execute it), and it would be a cookout (which is seriously informal) buffet.
I would like to be able to have dancing and music and great food. The slideshow and alcohol are improtant factors to consider though. Don't forget the affordability!
That's a big one!
What would you pick and why or any other suggestions???
