To sleep good, eat good or save?

The groom and I were discussing whether to have our reception at a hotel, restaurant or function centre?

Basically the hotel would provide a room for the bride and groom included in the wedding package, they may also provide discounted rates for relatives that wish to stay in the hotel. Plus there is that whole sophisticated ambience inherent in a (five-star?) hotel!

The restaurant (e.g. ARIA, Orso Bayside) will guarantee good food. Good food makes people happy and will ensure the day is a happy memorable one rather than "the wedding was beautiful but the food was like cardboard".

The function centre will be saving us lots of dough. I've seen some pretty nice function centres (on paper, havent seen it in real life yet) that go for $66 a head!!! Amazing price!! And no doubt it is easy to find a function centre, close to home, providing easy access.

After discussions weighing the pros and cons of the tree types of venues (we will not consider outdoor venues such as the beach, simply cos I do not want to worry about the weather or a hair falling out of place due to high winds), we have decided to go with a hotel.

Now this makes my job a lot easier, just having to sift through Sydney Hotel's wedding kits and packages. YAY.
