You can check the yellow pages. When I had Dad's 80th birthday, I used the Knights of Columbus Hall. Had the best rates by far! I spent a bit more on decorations (yeah, as if I wasn't going to get all that fun stuff!) because of the savings.

If you rent, what will you do re food? Are you and other folks making it or do you need a caterer? Some halls have kitchens, others don't, some you have to use their caterer. I used a caterer, but the menu was all things she prepared at her location so we did not need the kitchen at K of C; which also saved some big bucks.

So sorry to read of the house issues, I remember when you posted last May about it, you were 3 inches off the ground!
