Ruth Eckerd Hall

We were able to rent the most beautiful hall, but it took lots of planning to get it to be a perfect evening! Even though we got the hall, and it came with table and chairs and most basic equipment, we still needed to plan for caterers and linens and extra security and insurance, etc. There was a long list of things that needed to be looked after, luckily the manager of events does lots of weddings and was able to walk us through. One expensive drawback is that all the liquor must be bought through the hall, which is rather expensive. We had a beverage package estimate of how much we thought out guests would drink, which was between $26-30 for 200 guests. We were also given a list of approved caterers, which actually made the act of choosing a caterer much easier. Overall, I think all the planning was worth it because we had a beautiful wedding at an absolutely stunning location.
