Hello I am new to this whole website. I am getting married at Playacar Palace on 8-16-14. I am considering having my reception at a restaurant instead of paying all the fees to have a private event. I have about 40 guests and want something really upbeat and fun. Has anyone else considered this? I figure if the base cost of having a "private event" is $50 per person with no decor included or DJ/ speakers etc. I could use that same money to reserve a private party at a local restaurant/bar and bring a few decorations of my own!
