Off the List, Part 2
Union Station? So off the list.
I contacted the Columbus Club for more information, and one of their special events planners responded with more information about the facility's rates and policies. The facility rental fee was what we expected ... but we nearly choked when we got to the part about catering. We would be required to use their caterer, and the charge for two hours of "light hors d'oeuvres" was $60/person. That's for a minimum party of 100.
Heh.
So, now for something completely different...
Rob and I have an appointment on Saturday to check out Hendry House, part of Arlington's C.F. Smith Park. The rental fee is "reasonable," and the list of "approved" caterers includes Lebanese Taverna, a Mediterranean restaurant we like.
Here's hoping this works out. Everything seems so up in the air right now: We can't even set a date until we know for sure that we have a venue.
