Monte Sano

I am exploring venues, so here we go, first up is Monte Sano State Park.

To rent a room at Monte Sano Lodge on Saturday, Sunday or Holidays, you must rent the entire lodge. This retails for $1500 for the first 8 hours, additional hours are $225. You must bring your own cater and supplies. They do have tables and chairs. As long as you don't change the the layout of the Fearn Hall, there is no set-up fee. I would leave Fearn Hall as an entrance for guests to lounge and visit. I would only use this as a reception venue, which would put us back at square one at Locust Grove. That would give us a 100 person maxium at the church. I hate to invite people to the reception only, so we'll see. This is $1000 cheaper than Annabella. It's $75 to rent the church for the wedding. I would rather not have the guests travel between the wedding and the reception. One thing I like about Monte Sano is that it is pretty centrally located and would only be about a 20 min drive from the church.
