Cool Affordable Wedding Venue?

IMG_0146Two readers wrote in with a question I thought y'all could help with. They are getting married and they're looking for unique but affordable locales for the reception. They have a tight budget but don't want it to look cheap. "We're more of a 'cool venue' than 'hotel ballroom' kind of couple." I sent them to our venue rentals page to spark some ideas. Do you guys have any suggestions for them? Leave your ideas in the comments if you do. Also, if you're a vendor and you want to suggest your restaurant/ bar/ cool place/ unexpected hidden treasure of a venue (and have a deal I can offer them!!!) email me directly: mark AT thedailycity DOT com. Thanks. -Mark
