[sassybride]

Seaprincess: did you decide on a venue yet

[seaprincess]

Not yet...I'm going to go check Lago out with the girls in my wedding party and have dinner...I am strongly leaning towards having it there, but I want to taste the food and experience the ambiance first...I'll update soon!

Thanks for the info! It was a good day to revive the thread cause I'm meeting up with some friends for drinks tonight at Lago and I'm going to decide if it would work. Update tomorrow!

So O-town brides, heres the verdict....I don't thik its going to work! The decor is beautiful but the food was okay and the service needs some help. I spoke to the GM and she told me the rental fee for the banquet room is $1 000 but it depends on the amount of people/money their going to spend. I am going to email her today to get a few more details b/c she was running out the door but ultimately I think the drinks are way overpriced and the food is so-so but the location and design is what would win me over ultimately.

 

Ex. Domestic Draft beer - $6.50

I had a cocktail last night - nothing blended just a signature drink - $8.50

 

We have a group of drinkers so I don't want every one to go broke and I certainly can't afford an open bar so....

 

Plus most of the items on the menu had lamb on it....I'm not a big lamb fan....probably my least favorite meat...and not much variety on the menu.

 

The GM did have a seperate menu for the banquet though so i'll get her to email it to me.

The search continues....

Not sure how many people you are planning on having but the Courtyard Restaurant is really nice, there food is great & the people friendly!

Club 18 is amazing! I have had a few receptions there and I love it. The food is incredible.

I would love to revive this thread! I was looking into the Urban Element too! I have been to an event there and it is beautiful inside but fairly small. Anyone else have any ideas? I don't want to pay a fortune.
