My First Blog!!

A year and a half after we got engaged - 8 months out from our tentative date and we still haven't found the all important reception venue!! Apparently it's next to impossible to find a half decent self-catering function venue in Brisbane!! Ok ... maybe I'm not happy with half decent - I would just like somewhere that is relatively nice inside (no peeling paint, no multi-coloured paint, no HOLES, no giant cobwebs), has a kitchen suitable for reheating pre-prepared food, an industrial dishwasher and that isn't licensed. We've been running into a few suitable community venues that are licensed - how do you get a liquor license for a COMMUNITY venue??? My favourite so far is Beenleigh Community Centre - it's beautiful inside and highly suitable apart from the slight problem of OVERPRICED alcohol due to the community centre being licensed. I don't think my parents want to pay $20 per bottle of wine ... there's not much choice either ... they've got Wolf Blass or Wolf Blass. Brown Brothers have some GREAT wines for under $20 that most people love. I will keep you posted on the progress of "The Great Reception Venue Hunt!!" ... in the meantime check out some of my "inspiration images".
