BPT — thank you very much. That’s a good start.
Everyone else — although I really appreciate the responses, and couldn’t agree more about the ridiculous extremes of certain weddings, I really only need some l’maisa advice. What are some hall costs, music costs, avg photography, etc.
I’m looking foremost for a hall with a larger dance floor, and mediocre catering. Its more important that there be enough room to dance and whatnot.
Also, a place where mixed seating would be a possibility. (obviously not mixed dancing)
