The Venues

So we checked out all the venues this past Thursday. I was okay with Andre's and with the Genesis. I was surprisingly let down by Orlando Gardens. The carpet was HIDEOUS, and the walls were not pretty either. There was a tiny dance floor that was supposed to be shared with the band...making it even smaller. Also, it was the most expensive. Lame. So, the best by far was the one I had thought would be the worst. I have driven past the Christy everyday for the last 4 years and always thought it looked dated and tiny. That was definitely not the case. There is only one room, so we wont have to share the building with another wedding party. They have an actual stage with a dance floor that is twice the size of the others. The room is large enough that they have the buffet set up the whole time, and they don't have to break anything down. They have all black chairs, which compared to the orangish ones at some of the other venues was a welcome change. The carpet is a bit dated, however, It is not nearly as noticeable as at Orlando Gardens. I am pretty set on picking the Christy, the cake is included, and the staff was very nice. So, all that is left is a taste test. Yeah I know it is tough, but I think I'll make it through the grueling process of tasting food! I already have 4 professional taste-testing volunteers...amy, lauren, gina, tina....Anyway, I'll be getting back to you all soon to let you know more....
