Mel
The wedding is going to be the first weekend of September and I'm looking for something under $1000. I want it to have a dance floor and we don't need them to cater. Thanks
Answer
I am sorry - I dont know Houston but I do know about finding an affordable wedding reception place!
Think outside the box!!
1. ring local council - they should be able to give you a list of halls and other function centres that they have available for hire. Some of these places may even be in Parks but they can arrange a liquor licence. (i am in australia sorry - if these arent exactly true in your area, but you get the idea)
2. Google halls for hire. You might find a private hall eg dance studio, church, CWA, school (most of these could be under council), clubs (scouts etc)
* I actually found a choir hall this way and they had everything we needed -awesome. Just that the toilets were outside - which we decided to not go with...
They did theatre restaurant there too.
3. Tourist INformation Centre sometimes have brochures on places that could work...
4. Group Camps - or holiday places - they usually have a large hall on site with full kitchen. People can stay on-site or in nearby accommodation.
5. Government buildings / heritage buildings ..see below
6. Theatres. Local theatre groups where they have theatre restaurants you know they have a kitchen and bar facilities.
7. Google Conference Centres / Group Accommodation / Family Retreat. This is how we found our wedding venue. (we are getting married in august). I found a few awesome places under this category search. Some very nice but too expensive or not suitable for our group. Some with accommodation and some with only single bed onsite accommodation but motels etc nearby. One place was a pony camp / conference centre .
The place where we are getting married is actually owned by Qld Government. During week it is an Outdoor Training Facility and conference centre but on weekends they hire out the facilities for private functions. We get tables, chairs, tablecloths, cutlery, crockery, glasses etc, even a mobile coolroom, outdoor gas heaters, industrial kitchen, separate conference room for all the kids to relax and watch movies, a marquee area, a large grassed area and a large undercover area with weather shields. All for $226 - plus we have it from Friday arvo till Sunday arvo!!! Government dont work weekends so no staff / people watching over us..
We found a caterer through word of mouth (excellent value) and we can BYO alcohol etc.
There are some conference centres and function centres (and even retreat style accommodation) which offer their kitchen and their caterer or find your own caterer - some dont like it - different laws.
Good luck and have fun searching. Always talk to people. I found so much info from talking to different people and remembering there are only "six degrees of separation"

Does anyone know the location of apostlebirds. Do they live in Queensland?

Hi.
I am a studying photographer and I have always been interested in photography for wildlife. To be able to take great photos, I will need to set goals for capturing the wildlife. To start out I will need to know the whereabouts. I am currently trying to research about the Apostlebirds(Grey Jumper). Is there anyone that knows if these birds live in Queensland? Any other information about these birds would be helpful too. e.g. bait. Thankyou.
Answer
LOL... you don't need bait for apostle birds. They're not bothered by humans at all! We recently did a Qld outback trips and there were squillions of them at Carnarvon Gorge in the camp grounds. The staff at the Takaraka camp ground were also very knowledgeable about them. There were lots in the Gaske's fossicking area in Chinchilla. And at Mt Surprise in the north there was a little place that had snakes. The guy let my kids hold some of them, but when you put them on the ground the apostle birds would come down, stand in a circle around the snake and squawk away. Those are the 3 main encounters that stick in my head, they're everywhere out there though. If you're eating a sandwich, the birds will come. They're amazing little critters - good luck with the photography!
