Reception Site!

Eric and I arrived at the reception site on Sunday at 1 only to find it locked. Luckily Eric has internet access on his phone and was able to call the guy that was suppose to meet with us. He had written down the time that there was a meeting but couldn't remember what it was for! So he came about 15 minutes later while another man who lives on the site opened the door for us.

Well, we were a little surprised when we got in there. Many people would probably just left but since we've seen the place before we knew that it wasn't going to be like that. There was trash everywhere, sticky floors, and the smell of day-old food. It was terrible. However, we were able to see how some of the tables were arranged and envision how we wanted the tables, the head table, and the dance floor. It even has a disco ball!

Also, we were a little worried about there being a Saturday event. However, it looks like we get the entire weekend! Since our wedding is on a Sunday the tables and chairs will be set up on Friday by noon, Saturday we have three hours to decorate, and Sunday they will open the doors early for the "caterers" to come in and they will clean up afterwards as well. We are SO excited about the flexibility of this hall. There are 100 parking spots but also an overflow parking spaces across the street.

Things seems to be falling into place slowly. I just need to make the time to try on dresses!
