Hi everyone,
I'm a long-time lurker, newly registered member of the DisBoards, and was really hoping for some second opinions from those who know best... namely you guys!
I've just started contact with DTFW for our June 2016 Wishes wedding, and will be scheduling a site visit for early April. I've been planning this wedding in my head for at least two years now (money trouble meant we've had a *really* long engagement), but only in the last week have I gone over venues and things with my DF. This was the way he wanted it; until the ball is rolling, he knows he won't remember, so there's no point discussing it with him!
Anyway, I had basically planned for a Sea Breeze Point ceremony, reception in the Marvin Gardens rooms at Boardwalk convention centre, then a dessert party at UK Lochside. The ceremony and dessert party are no-brainers, but the reception venue was for convenience as much as anything. I don't want to spend loads of money just on a bunch of cars/vans transporting my guests around. However... we received our initial "welcome to DTFW" e-mail last week, with all it's attachments, and DF saw the one for Napa Room at California Grill, and said he really likes it. We went through lurkyloo's venue pictures yesterday, and he decided he also liked Italy West Plaza and Backstage Prop Shop. This has put a small spanner in the works, as it were.
Our guest numbers (20-30) limit our choices quite a lot, as does my desire to have a dance floor. We'd prefer a plated menu, but are willing to consider buffet if the location is good enough. Characters are a dream, but not essential, whereas Dapper Dan are high on my list. So, with all this background, I was hoping for some guidance on what other people suggest for reception venues!
Thanks in advance,
Vikki
