Finding a Reception Site

Saturday, February 4th I went to two possible reception sites for our wedding:

1. Thorn Spring Golf which is located in Pulaski. I met with Rick Dalton who is the head chef there and with Ed Winebender who coordinates the events. The layout of the rooms were great. We would have one room for food and tables the other room which has hardwood floors would have the DJ, a few tables, and a bar. If the weather is good we would also have access to the patio which overlooks the golf course. It is great. The Chef seemed very knowledgeable and was very easy to talk to.

2. Nesselrod on the New which is located in Radford. It is a bed and breakfast with beautiful garden and a gazebo. I wasn't very impressed with it. It is a beautiful place but very expensive.
Our wedding will probably be between 150 and 160 guest and if it were to rain the day of our wedding the Nesselrod can only hold 75 people comfortably inside.

After today I think we have decided that an outdoor wedding is out of the question.

We are most likely going to have the reception at Thorn Spring Golf Club.
