We have been searching high and low for a reception facility in our area. We are over a year out from the wedding so we shouldn’t have any problem with not getting our date, but so far we haven’t like much of what we have seen. Our first choice was a vineyard, since that fits us to a T, but they either have no indoor facilities( such as bathrooms) or are extremely expensive. We then started looking for something that has an indoor/outdoor space such as an inn. Then we can still get that garden/vineyard feel. Well even that is hard as it turns out. So we have narrowed it to 4 choices which we went to look at last week.
Antienam Iron Works (very rustic, outside, looks over antienam creek, does a pig roast)
Inn at Buckeystown (garden elegance, historic town, tent outside)
Delaplaine (historic district Frederick, patio on Carroll Creek, art gallery, fresh & clean look)
The Ballroom at Duffy’s (downtown Hagerstown, 3rd floor loft, no outdoor space, urban chic)
All 4 are VERY different, its going to be a hard choice, each one has its pros and cons. The first two have that outdoor tuscan family feel while the other two are very convienently located to hotels, church, and nightlife. We need to make a decision soon since some of the dates in Fall 09 have already been taken. Yikes…better start thinking.
