We booked our venue for 10.10.10! I know it''s early, but FI liked the date and we loved this place. It''s in Manayunk Philadelphia:

We are planning on the ceremony in the downstairs portion (the pics with the white cement floors), the cocktail hour outside, and the reception in the upper gallery (the photos with the hardwood floors). The interior gallery walls are movable so as to open up the space. We are so excited!
Our caterer was also booked. Sage Catering. Our menu is picked out, but I have a feeling we''ll change things up at least a little bit between now and then. (menu can be found here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/whats-for-dinner.108244/page-2 ) We''re planning on stations vs. a seated meal. What are your thoughts on this? The parents aren''t thrilled, but as foodies, we love the idea of people being able to eat whatever they want, as much as they want.
Also, we are thinking of a deep blue, rusty orange, and a lemon yellow for our colors. Any opinions? We are thinking of a more casual affair with candles and limited flowers, mostly sunflowers and gerbera daisies. Possibly a Tuscan theme. Does this work for the fall and for the venue?
And the shoes (in midnight blue):

Thank you to everyone here for all of their advice along the way, especially Octavia who made me aware of our venue and recommended the caterer!
