So my fiance and myself are talking about having our wedding in the '757 area'.
We are looking at The Yacht Club at Marina Shores, The Watertable, The comtemporary arts center, and maybe the va beach convention center..

Anyone have/been to a recent wedding at any of these? How were they to work with? Any advice would be great!

We are looking at fall 2012/2013 for 200 people so these were a few of the sites that fit into our numbers and budget.

Thanks ladies!

    The Yacht Club at Marina Shores - huge dance floor.  Have heard some iffy things about their "all inclusive package" but overall I don't think it's bad.  Don't have much info on this though.

    The Watertable- our venue.  Totally love it but I am not sure you'd be able to fit 200 for a seated meal- that number is more for a cocktail type reception.  They have 18 10 person tables available to use. 

    The comtemporary arts center- favorite of the Va beach area.  I'd choose this one.

    Va beach convention center - l've been there for fitness expos and I just can't picture a wedding here- way too cold looking.

    We're having our wedding at the Yacht Club at Marina Shores, in the Yacht Club room (upstairs), next April. Sue, the coordinator, is very nice and can give you recommendations on local vendors. They have packages starting at $6,000 for 100 guests including caterer, florist, cake and photographer, and you can choose which level package you want. So far it's been fine working with them. The vendors they use are very nice (Todd at Black Iris Floral, Debra at Incredible Edibles, and Ginger at Creative Catering) and knowledgable. We had our tasting at Creative Catering's restaurant (Orapax in Norfolk) and the food was phenomenal (we're doing coastal cuisine), and the cake tasting was great too. We didn't use their photographer so can't comment on that. The Yacht Club is expanding so there will be more room options by the time your wedding comes.
    I would call Sue and set up an appt to visit the venue. She'll let you take video/pics and give you a bunch of info. Good luck!
