That sounds great. Thanks for the tip, I will definitely look into them.

My fiance and I are looking to cater a post-elopement cocktail party for some friends and family. We've found a great loft space in Venice to throw the party, and are now in search of good food. We think we want tray-pass service because we don't want the buffet-line pile up to happen. We've not organized a catered cocktail party like this before, so we are in need of good suggestions, and any that won't break the bank are definitely welcome. We are looking at hosting between 175-200.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks all! These look like great suggestions.

My fiance and I just got engaged and are probably going to elope, but we want to celebrate with a luncheon for family and friends upon our return. We are hoping to have a luncheon on a Sunday afternoon at a restaurant -- preferably one with a nice atmosphere and/or view and good food. Does anyone have good suggestions for restaurants that can accommodate between 150 - 180 guests? Because we are dispensing with the whole ceremony we would rather have our party at a restaurant versus a banquet room.
