Wedding Planning Update #6D - Reception Sites
6) The Atrium was pretty nice, although now I definately understand what Linda and Valerie were trying to explain about how it seemed to have a bit of ’70s decor. There was a lovely rounded area, where the cocktail hour would commence, with mirror-covered tables. The downside was the leather-covered rounded bar, the ultimate in ’70s styling.
There was also a nice rounded staircase, which would be perfect for some pictures, but stairs are a problem too, as I mentioned earlier. Now, there is an elevator, but there’s still stairs down into the ballroom, which had a somewhat strange shape as well. Additionally, there’s a lack of bathrooms, which would prove to be a problem for the ladies, AND there’s no hotel close by. The hotel does have a shuttle, but is pretty far away, in a town like 20 minutes away.
Of course the pricing was great, totally inclusive, as with every other place we have been. My mom was quite pleased, although I’m not totally convinced.
