Hi everyone,
Just got engaged a few weeks ago and I'm looking for venues. Struggling to find a place that has the capacity we need at a doable pp. I need one that includes catering, don't have the mental fortitude to go out and find a caterer, rent equipment, etc. I really liked Brigalias, but they don't have the availability we need. I am close to booking the Mansion on Main Street, but I was never thrilled with their decor. It's too traditional and a bit stodgy for me. The coordinator assured me she can help me get the more "art deco" /mad men vibe I want, but you never know. also my parents loved the mansion so it helps that i would be pleasing the source of most of the budget. also it's a bit steep at $150 pp. brigalias was only at about $125. I LOVE the look of the cescaphe ballroom/downtown club in philly, but they're way too much $ for our budget. i know i can always do the merion but i was hoping for a place that wasn't so regal looking. i prefer super elegant/art deco, etc. does anyone know of a place that meets my requirements? or should i just do the mansion and hope that the decor we come up with minimizes the traditional look? Thank you. I'm just a beginner so any advice would be helpful.
