Anyone do AHR at a private home?

Omg, that would be funny. People would be so confused.

Heidi - what are you doing for yours? I only ask b/c I was unable to find anything that I really liked, cuz I hate banquet style (like white table linens and padded seats). I love a more relaxed atmosphere. We originally were going to have the reception at Lai Lai in Blue Bell, cuz the price was right (at $55/pp including drinks!). But they can fit 220 or 250 and the reception area isn't as nice as the dining area. So now we are exploring other options, but it's driving me crazy.

it's all still TBD! that is so on the back burner right now! haha!! but the thought is to rent out a hall and cater it ourselves - his family cooks like crazy and lives for these types of get-togethers.

did you look into Joseph Amber Inn? they had some good deals a while back for receptions.

That's funny that you say that, I had never thought of it, but someone else is doing theirs there in September. Wll good luck wwith whatever you decide!

I am kinda in love with having it outside, so I emailed that rental place on 202 and hope to hear back from them shortly. Then I would just need to find a caterer that is good and reasonable. But that's the next step!

I just looked up the Joseph Ambler Inn and I think I would need to rent out every room to fit everyone! The farmhouse says "small intimate gatherings"; Main dining fits 100; Banquet room fits up to 150; John Roberts House fits 40. It looks nice though!
