Help with reception venue top choices

[Chabelis]

My fiance and I are having trouble finding a third reception venue for our top three choices, I was hoping people here can give us some advice or help with what could be best?

Our first choice is Living Seas Salon, mainly because we're having a dessert party so people can go straight from the reception to watch Illuminations. We believe it'll be easier than trying to transport people from one location inside the WDW grounds to another after they've had a few drinks. It is also good for the number of people we're looking at (between 60 and 80).

For the day we're looking at and the time of year it looks like we may get our first choice, but Disney still require 3 choices so we're looking at Ariel’s at Disney’s Beach Club Resort as one of our options (basically because I think it looks like a really lovely space), but we're still stuck on a third option. I can't decide on anywhere within Epcot during the times we want (it'll be mid afternoon as we're looking at a 2:30pm ceremony), and I'm really unsure on the other spaces..

I'm very open for suggestions anyone might have. Thanks in advance.

What about Atlantic dance hall at the boardwalk? I can't think of any other Epcot venue that would fit your group. You're too big for the American adventure parlour and too small for the rotunda.

You can choose three different dates instead of three different locations if you like.

Hrm, I must have misunderstood. I actually thought you had to choose 3 of each, and not just 3 dates. This can be all so confusing at times.

Thanks for your help, people! I think I should be set for locking in the dates now.

I second Atlantic Dance Hall. We had our reception there 5 years ago for 50 people and everyone loved it. It's a great space and it is also very close to Epcot so everyone can walk over there. We had an afternoon reception there that ended at 3:00 but we were staying at The Boardwalk so we just had to walk over later that evening for our IlluimiNations DP. Most of our other guests were staying at POFQ and they took Disney transportation over. We had booked our own bus earlier that morning for our Epcot ceremony and then transportation to ADH and then returning everyone back to their resort after the reception.
