Clearly I’m having a hard time finding a venue. I guess my requirements are too stiff or I have too many of them.
They are, in no particular order:
- Must be in downtown Detroit
- Must be less than $1500
- Would prefer them to allow an outside caterer
- Must hold 250-300 people
That said, meet the new object of my attention. I don’t know how much it costs yet, but everything other requirement is met.
Again, just like with the other venue hopeful I don’t want to give away the name yet, but believe me when I tell you, it is wonderful.
Here’s the only issue. The space has square columns that run throughout. They look good but I’m afraid of them obstructing the view and me not being able to set up the tables and chairs to accomodate everyone comfortably.
Has anyone had this same problem with their venue? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to work around it?

we’ve had so much trouble finding a venue. scratch that, we found a venue, but kept looking. we weren’t sure what to do, but now we think we know. luckily we won’t have a column issue, the best advice i can give is to just set up tables and chairs as best you can and do most activities in one spot in the room, rather than doing the cake cutting in one corner, and dancing in the other corner, and the bouquet toss back in the first corner, etc.
