what are some unique indoor venues (where i can hold a ceremony AND reception)? other than art galleries & museums, i’m stuck.

Christine - check symphonic concert halls, and universities. Many universities have beautiful art halls, etc.

depending on the location, some lofts (nyc has a bunch), and there’s some others I know of in nyc, at least: The Foundry, Angel Orensanz Foundation Center, Botanical Gardens, Bronx Zoo, an old fisherman’s lodging/site/place (I forget the details, it’s by the seaport), lodges (not quite that unique, but some pretty cool ones up in the adirondacks, I think), ditto on the universities: chapels there & event spaces, also, the Hudson Theater in nyc - old theatre, now an event space, Aquarium (know of a rehearsal dinner at one).

Imagine any space that accomodates the right number of people. Where do big groups of people go?

Some big buildings (even midtown-officey-ones) have very big, nice lobbies that could work. OH! and if you have the budget!! (IT’S REALLY EXPENSIVE, I THINK), Grand Central Station. Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn is not unique in that it’s a big hall, but if you look at the place you’ll see how different it is from the typical ballroom.

Can you tell I was on the hunt for a unique venue in nyc…
