We're trying to book a place for our 2010 wedding. many of the places already have 2010 bookings. A few places for the same weekend that we want. <br />
<br />
We're trying to decide between a hotel which will cost a little over 5 thousand to rent out including food. The perks of the hotel is it includes a room for us ( which we can upgrade to a suite for an extra $100) They also offer a room ( if available ) for gift opening or bridal shower. <br />
<br />
The other option is a church hall. It's a large beautiful hall. It isn't our church or denomination. We're Anglican it's a Catholic hall. However it often hosts weddings from other denominations and both our maternal sides are Irish Catholic so who knows maybe us liking this hall is a subconscious way of honouring our duel heritage. <br />
<br />
Upside is it is considerably cheaper by a lot. ( Rental is only $250 but not including food) Downside is we have to have food brought in by their caterers. <br />
<br />
I would like to hear thoughts from people who have had weddings in both Halls and Hotels. <br />
I know both places can be beautiful but I would like to know what are the good sides and down sides of both these places. Also if you were to attend a wedding which do you think would be a better choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
If it makes any difference we're planning a Canadian Thanksgiving weekend wedding. ( October 9th 2010 )<br />
<br />
both the church hall and the hotel provide a bar service<br />
<br />
The hall is very popular for weddings and has the usual tables and chairs but I have to look into table cloths etc. They do have a coat check<br />
<br />
I would LOVE to get married outdoor on a beach or in the woods. but my Fiance really wants a fall wedding, so I have to let him have his say in something. Where we live the weather doesn't always allow for an outdoor event. It could be beautiful and blistering hot or it could be snowing. It's been known to go both ways here.<br />
