Our Reception Site!

Hello! :) I just wanted to post some pictures I took of our reception site, the Browsville Community Club; it is located in Brownsville, WI and it is less than 10 minutes from our church, St. Andrew's in LeRoy, WI.

I'll have to admit that when I first visited the BCC I was not completely impressed. I don't know why, but I always wanted some fancy country club or golf course. Yeah, once you actually have to think of money and your budget in general, you have to make some modifications to your expectations. We also visited the Mayville Golf Course, which is really nice, looks fancier, would be perfect for pictures, etc... However, it was a bit more expensive, they had a $1,000 bar minimum AND they charged $2 per plate because we would not use their catering services (Ryan's dad will cater for us). They later on expressed that they would drop the $2 charge, but we would "make it up in bar business". I did not understand what they meant, regardless I did not want to be worrying about the $1,000 bar minimum or anything like that. Also, the bar prices are higher than at the BCC.

Now, at the BCC, the manager Trisha is a sweetheart and helped us a lot. We don't have to worry about how much $$ we spend at the bar, we will only pay for what we drink (which might be more than the $1,000 =)) We don't have to worry about bar minimums, bartender or gratuity fees (which was 15% of bar tabs at the Mayville Golf Course). So, we're really happy that we chose this place and I cannot wait to decorate it and make it look cute!
