My purpose is to help you plan and have a great reception or event.  Remember you only get one chance to get it right and in entertainment I have 25 yrs of continuous experience in the DJ business to help make your anouncements, ceremonial dances and play the music to get the guests dancing.  I include a questionaire we use to guide you though the evening.   Below is a list on local venues for your event and some ideas I hope will help.

Things to consider when choosing a venue

Whats the decor like?  Does it fit your wedding style, will you have to spend alot on decorations to make it beautiful.

Do they have in-house cater or will they allow you to bring in your own food?                 Do they have a bar available? 

What are the limitation on decorating?  What is the cancellation (deposit) policy?

A typical reception will last 4 to 5 hours depending on the dinner or food being served to guest.   Generally allow 1 hour for dinner or cocktail hour followed by approximately 1 hour for your ceremonial dances and dollar dance.   The remaining 2 to 3 hours for having fun for all on the dance floor.
