...a friend in Virginia is asking me, "where is a place for a wedding reception in Austin that doesn't charge $5K?"

I don't know of such a place if the to-be-wedded is not a church member.

Anyone?

Thanks though, this is good to know!

how much is that 5K supposed to cover? the entire reception (food, drinks, cake, dj, place, etc) or just the rental of the building/chairs/tables? how many people is she having? does she want outdoor or indoor? view or downtown?

I had my reception at The Austin Club - it's downtown and seats around 200. The rental was somewhere around $1500 and then food and drinks are on top of that (ours was roughly $30/person)

Other places I considered were Shoreline Grill (downtown), River Place Country Club, Onion Creek Country Club, Mansion at Judge's Hill. There are tons of places to rent that are less than $5K, it's just the food/drink that will be on top of that. It can certainly be done though!

I'll tell them. I have a feeling that with the wedding in Maine, and a reception later in Austin for their friends at home, $5K was way over their budget!
