Where are there historic banquette halls?

Will the majority of halls for rent allow you to cut costs?

• I live in San Diego and I'm having a Sweet 16 in May and I really want to rent a hall for the party because all my friends have had quinceaneras and sweet 16's at halls and to avoid looking cheap, I wanted to have mine at a hall too. My parents didn't mind the idea, but renting halls can be quite expensive! My parents' wedding reception hall allowed them to cut costs. Example, like you could cut out a few thousand by crossing off things you don't need the hall to supply you with, like if we can supply our own food, decorations, our own DJ, etc. So my question is do most halls allow you to cut costs such as food, decorations, and DJ's if you can supply it yourself?

• Answer:

  My friend rents out a hall at his tavern and he has different price ranges.. First comes the cost of the room...Then if food -entertainment-or other services are needed the cost goes up...Your options may be limited since most of your guests will not be of drinking age -anywhere that serves liquor may be out.Times are tough for everyone---I would certainly shop around and ask the hall-owners.Most would rather make a little less then have it empty and make nothing.
