There are so many
wonderful waterfront places at the resort strip and off
Shore Drive that offer a waterfront view to celebrate
with your guests following your Virginia Beach wedding,
and many hotels have their own restaurants or banquet
rooms you can rent, so we couldn't list everyone here,
and of course, it depends on your budget, but here's a
brief list to give you some ideas ....

| The rule of thumb is that
the reception will consume 40% of your wedding budget!
Off site catering costs to consider: rental charges,
hours of use, permits required, is there a kitchen
available, is there running water, utilities such as
electricity, refrigeration, cooking station such as
stoves and ovens, heating and cooling, insect control
facility clean-up costs, rolling table for cake - we
could write a book on this subject, and since we're not
the experts we won't! But we would like to give
you a few things to consider as you plan your wedding
reception budget. We can help you with this, so
don't hesitate to call us any time |
