Secondly, I'm a bad bride because I booked the first and ONLY reception venue at which I looked. In my defense, I knew I wasn't going to get anything prettier and still be in budget in our smallish town. We live only 30 minutes away from South Bend (home of Notre Dame), but I wanted to keep our wedding in this county since we'll be having people come from out of town. Plus, a bargain budget doesn't offer many choices.
I researched many options online. I looked up places listed in local wedding announcements and kept coming back to the same idea. A local catering company owns 2 ballrooms. One in E-town, the town in which we'll be getting married. In fact, the ballroom is right down the street from the church. I thought it seemed like a great idea. No chance for people to get lost on their way and it's a popular choice, so they must be doing something right. I couldn't find many pictures online, but the few reviews I found, were positive. Another point in it's favor? A girl who was once a close friend of mine, had her wedding reception there. I figured if it was good enough for her discriminating tastes, I'll like it too.
I then decided to see if I could find any information about the catering company's other ballroom. This one is in G-town, right next to E-town and the town I consider myself to have grown up in. Googling the name gave me a website. The minute I saw the pictures on the website, I was in love. After all, what's not to love about hard wood floors, big windows, and chandeliers?
SourceThe details all sounded great, but would we love it once we saw it in person? And did the mandatory caterer fit into our bargain budget? Stay tuned!
