I finally found an affordable venue to host our wedding reception. It will be held at the Chateau of Spain. They will allow us to have a DJ and will arrange the tables for dancing. Also, we will have both of the upstairs rooms combined at no extra cost and we will have the place for 6 hours! I am so excited. FH and I put a deposit down yesterday. I am so grateful. Unfortunately they don't have a website so I will not be able to post any pictures. I am just grateful that things are shaping up.

Congrat! I don't what the place looks like, but the name sure sounds elegant!
Are they catering and everything, or is it just the hall rental, but you still have to provide caterer, alcohol, etc...?
*If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything*
That's my exact thought also...the name sounds elegant. I pray they meet all of your expectations.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
It is a restaurant with a banquet room upstairs. They are catering the entire event for us. All we have to do is provide the centerpieces and show up!

I hope so too Charly. We actually learned about this place through FH's business dealings. He has done business with them in the past. He suggested we have the reception there and then we went to look at some other places. Most are already booked to capacity or were too expensive. We also had dinner there last night and the food was good.

Congrats Rhony. I'm very happy that you found something! :-)

Thank you Askalot. Also thanks for your extra efforts in helping me to find a place, most appreciated.

I am so happy for you isn't it a blessing how things just fall into place. There is no website with the pictures of my reception site either so don't feel bad. I'm sure yours is nice just as mine is because as you stated earlier, "great minds think alike"!

Well the place I had it at first has now been renovated into a 5 star plaza...it is wonderful and I am seriously thinking of going back there.....I wonder if they will hook me up the same way they did before...girl you should have seen the room they gave me to get ready in.....it was bigger than a 3 bedroom apartment - it was wonderful :-)
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Charly, are you talking about the place where you had your first wedding?
Yes!...back then it was British Colonial now it is the Hilton British Colonial. Check out where my first wedding was
Scroll to bottom of page and have a vitual tour....look at the lovely poolside very near to the beach and the beautiful room where I got ready.

Charley, the place is very nice (especially the poolside area). How does your FH feel about having the wedding at the same place you did with your first?
He He......shhhh! why'd you have to go and ask the "shouldn't ask question"????

oops. I was just curious. I know I feel guilty to even go somewhere with FH that I've been with an ex to before. Just me. Some people don't mind/care though.
Perhaps Charly's fiance won't mind. My FH would have a fit!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Yes, I know that. Some people wouldn't mind. My FH would have me admitted to a hospital to get evaluated (he would've thought I lost my mind). And I would feel too guilty not to say something (I wouldn't want it to come back to haunt me).

Relax guys...it's not etched in stone...I was only throwing it up in the air, just a thought!

Whew! But, if you did have it there, it is definately nice. Just let FH know everything first. lol
Honestly I probably won't becuase so it will take me back to my first and that will upset me...my husband invited his ex-girlfriend to our wedding so you know I was really upset that night.

Girl my reception went sour from then...I should have seen all the bad omens from me reaching to the church before him to the crazy rception...it was so doomed.

Did you send her an invitation or did he verbally tell her? Her tail wouldn't have been there if it was mine. I'm addressing all the invitations and doing all the placecards. Why would her stankin tail even want to be there? Triflin heffa and triflin dog!
That's the thing...I don't know how he did it...I didn't even notice her, the girls in my choir noticed and told me so you know that made it even worst right?...But that's the type of inconsiderate person he is...and he had that type of attitude through out the entire marriage.

Rony I honestly don't think so but back then I was very very young and really had no sense, I didn't want to make a scene at my wedding but I was soooo upset.
