Date? Check. Theme? Check. Location? Working on it.
Once we (mostly me) picked a date it was time to find a place to hold this little soiree. My initial list looked like this: Gotham Hall (the front runner), Broad Street Ballroom, Capitale, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Stage 6 at Steiner Studios, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I picked three in Manhattan and three in Brooklyn.
Two of the locations got cut quick.
Gotham Hall, while absolutely stunning, had one major drawback.

When I called to inquire about pricing they quoted me the following: $325 per person. Yeah, no. I couldn’t justify that one at all. That was the cost BEFORE the 22% gratuity and taxes. It was going to be over $85,000 just for food. No dress. No flowers. No music. No cake. NO WAY.
Broad Street was next on the chopping block.

I just didn’t click with the guy on the phone plus the space is located in the financial district. That area is like a military zone. Yeah, firearms do not go with my theme soooo that was a big no.
The site rental was $10,000 which at the time was supposedly negotiable. I was less than enthused about this one so out it went.
Capitale was almost an immediate cut too. Mr. H was pretty adamant about not getting hitched in Manny Hanny. I really wanted to see that one though so it got a stay of execution… for now.
