I am getting married on August 16th at Rosemary. We are having the rehearsal dinner at Fish House. Since the majority of guests will be from out of town, I want to have a two hour cocktail reception somewhere on August 15th. Will be around 150-175 people. Very familiar with area establishments, but is there something out of the box or "local" that I do not know about? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, not. Our home cannot accomodate such a large crowd. Really looking for a restaurant, bar, or covered structure.

where is "Fish House?" Sounds like you are wanting a cocktail party at another location, just prior to the rehearsal? Is that correct? So with that many people, would you need to be close to Rosemary and the "Fish House?"

Talk to the people at Rosemary and see about about using one of their green spaces. I'm sure they could probably handle tent rental as well.

Sorry, Old Florida Fish House. We are having the rehearsal dinner there from 5-7, and I would like to find a venue for the cocktail reception from 7-9. The cocktail reception will basically just be a meet and greet for everyone with drinks and light hors d' oeurves. It does not need to be fancy by any means. Had thought about doing a lua (sp), but seems like alot of planning.

I vote for Weatherall Fine Art....something beautiful and different from anything else around here. Take a look at the Artistic Wedding. Take a look at the picture on his web page. Such a wonderful feeling. Congrats Curtis!
And to you too

Rosemary can't handle this request in combination with your wedding? I would think this will be hard to find outside them - set up, etc. for that many people for a 2 hour event. You might want to contact Camp Helen just down the road from Rosemary. I have been to a cocktail event there. Beautiful location on Powell Lake.
Just remembered Eden Park for meet and greet. Beauti of a location.

Ceremony and reception are at Rosemary, so dont want to have the cocktail reception there too. Would like to kind of show off the area to out of towners. Thanks for the Camp Helen tip though. That sounds like potential.

what about Borago Restaurant's huge screened in veranda?

I know that Seacrest Beach rents out the green space by their pool. It has bathrooms, 2 large pavillions and hookup for music if needed.
Also, I have been to a reception in the building behind Chops in The Village of South Walton. I dont know if they still rent it out or not....

What about holding it at Toni Wheelers? She and Ray hosted an art show 2 weeks ago and the place looked great. There is a write up and pictures in last Saturday's Sun. She's at Grayton out behind Sherwin Williams on Arbor Lane. It's called "perennials & natives by a girl named Toni" and the phone # is 850.231.0007. Good Luck!
