Possible Reception Locations

Hi there ladies... this is mostly meant for Tammy. I was waiting for Tim to get up this morning, so I've been reading my free copy of the Worcester Bride & Groom magazine.... lots of local venues in there. So, I'm not sure what your budget is, or how many guests you're expecting, but here are a few fairly affordable ones (based on site quality & offerings) that might be worth checking out....

Leicester Country Club (www.leicestercc.com)- They have several package tiers, but I even thought for the top one (platinum, I think), where you basically get everything (flowers, cake, entire meal with appetizers+ cheese & crudites & 3 courses, 1 hour open bar, champagne toast, chair covers) but your dress and tuxes, seemed like a pretty great deal. I priced a 150 person wedding with a chicken dish and the top most expensive one... lobster something for like $12k. Obviously, it could be way less, based on the other packages. I thought it looked pretty nice! Wow, if you would be willing to have it Nov-March, they have a GREAT winter package. $53/pp with everything above + a dj!

Periwinkles (www.periwinkles-giorgios.com)- This is a restaurant in Auburn... Tim & I go there, and his father knows the owner. Okay, when you just drive up to it, it's not that impressive. I'm not going to lie. But the Garden Room is really nice, and the prices are unbeatable. Once you're in the reception area, your view is great. I personally think it could just use some chair covers, and it's a really elegant space. If you're trying to keep a tight budget, I think this place is really worth a look.

Zukas Hilltop Barn (www.zukas.com)- I didn't really price this one out, but it seemed like a neat space. Indoor weddings only fit 130.

Hidden Hills (www.fourstarcatering.com)- Looks pretty reasonable, and I thought the barbecue menus were completely fun and affordable. Drawback- it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, just over the NH border near Lowell. Lowell's not really a bad town though... they have a few fun bars, and the Spinners or Lockmonsters are a blast.

Okay, that's all I have time for :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!
