if you could plan a big party, would you have it at the place where you got married?

I think that most of us would say YES but I figured I'd ask.

For me it does depend somewhat on the budget for the event. If money were tight, I would have to check their prices. I don't expect to have a wedding style budget for every event. But if money were no object, I could opt to spend more elsewhere, yet my wedding venue would still be 1st choice.

I want to try to have my baby naming or bris there. It would be a brunch, so not priced like a wedding. I think I could do it for less at a non-kosher place, but it would mean a lot to me to have it at my wedding venue and those events kinda should be kosher anyway.

Oh, and I must be a total pauper because I can't see myself getting a tablecloth upgrade for a baby naming or a bris. Oh, blasphemy.

Definietly! Maybe an outdoor event instead, but we loved the place either way. Their grounds are beautiful and the food was great!!!

yes, and maybe the second time around I could enjoy the food!!

I was going to say the same thing!
My reception was at a country club...they do showers and smaller parties in one of their smaller rooms where part of my cocktail hour was. So of course I've already dreamed up that I'd love for my baby shower to be there (I'm not even prego - but someday)...and for them to serve all finger foods - like the stuff I had at my cocktail hour that I didn't get one bite of!!!

I don't know, I kind of like how that's where we got married and that's it. I loved the place, it would be awesome to have another party there but I don't want that to take away from the memories of our wedding.

It was a country club, I like the idea of maybe a baby shower (not anytime soon) in the upstairs room bc we didn't use that for our wedding.
