Ask the Pack, Starkville Weddings

[RingN2012]

Asking for a friend whose daughter wants to get married in Starkville.
What's the best venue for a wedding reception in Starkville?
Please include building capacity in your response if you have an idea.
I'm sure this message will get its share of quips and remarks, these should be layups, guys.

Little Dooey is opening a place that will be awesome.
Hunter Henry center is an option, probably the union.
The other 2 receptions I've been to on campus were in Griffis Hall and the McCool atrium, both kind of cool. No alcohol on campus though, so consider that.

My reception was at The Beer Garden in Hotel Chester. If say +/- 200. Highly recommended.

Look into a barn out Blackjack towards the refuge, just past the Cemetery a mile or so. Richard Hewlett owns the barn. Great,
Great venue.

How big is the Dooey place?
And are we sure about no alcohol on campus? If so, that's a deal breaker

Hewlett Barn is badass. Went to a wedding there recently. Best choice no doubt.

Haven't people had receptions in the scoreboard club? Had a friend who went to one there I think...

My wedding reception was in the Hunter Henry Center. Booze was allowed so long as it was distributed via bartender, which we arranged with our caterer. The ballroom and lobby easily accomadated the 250+/- along with the band and dance floor. The event coordinator at the HHC was awesome and very helpful along the way. I highly recommend it.

Where ever you end up at, make sure they have plenty of Dale's and keep the tater tots out of sight. Oh...and make sure they have a shotgun rack available.

Doesn't matter how big it is. Petty's is better**

M Club

Same alcohol policy as tailgating

 

[tatedog]

So many responses and not one suggestion of a Destin honeymoon yet. Disappointment isn't even the word.

The poor house

 

[CrookedLetta4Eva]

Who has 200 people at a wedding? I can barely think of TWENTY people that I like.

Don't discount Columbus. They have some antebellum homes with really nice gardens. I got married at one.

My reception was in ball room at the Union and we had plenty of alcohol

Chapel of Memories is nice too. Had a friend get married there.

 

[dickiedawg]

I must have been mistaken, then.

 

[RingN2012]

Thank you guys for the insight. Chapel of memories is an option for ceremony. Scoreboard, M-club, hunter Henry and dooey's are going to be checked out.
Hail state, lets sweep those damn hogs today

I'm getting married at the Lee Home in Columbus next month. If she wants to use a historic antebellum home with State ties, it's both awesome and affordable, and allows for use for both the rehearsal and reception too.

Had a relative married a Chapel of memories two years ago, reception at M Club, it was fantastic.
