Couples choose to hold their wedding reception in a wide variety of venues. If you have been struggling to narrow down your list for the post-nuptial party, consider a local restaurant. The guide below explores some of this location's distinct advantages.

Why Have Your Reception at a Restaurant?

1. You Love the Cuisine

By having a restaurant you know and love cater your reception, you can rest easy knowing your guests will leave full and satisfied. Their team may even be able to prepare unique dishes that aren’t on the regular menu. Ask them to make a cocktail to represent the two of you as a couple or arrange for a dessert buffet. 

2. Local Charm

Local restaurants tend to have their own charm. However, when you rent out the event space, you can work with the staff to have it decorated to your preferred theme. Flowers, string lights, tablecloths, and music can all add to the ambiance. And while you can make the event as formal as you like, many guests might enjoy a slightly more relaxed atmosphere to eat, dance, play wedding games, or share stories. 

3. Lower Cost

In 2017, the average couple spent $25,764 on their wedding. But for those looking to begin their married life with less expense, a restaurant reception costs less than one held at a hotel or other venue, while still allowing someone else to handle the cooking and clean-up.

When you’re ready to plan your wedding reception, contact the professionals at Western Grill Steak House of Andrews, TX. They offer a large menu that can be customized to your taste, as well as attentive service staff to help make the day what you envisioned.
