You can try any of the apartment complex rooftops- if you know a leasing consultant there. I do not know if they allow non-residents to rent their spaces but they’re usually pretty reasonable, with a beautiful view.

Save yourself some money and do it at your place of residence. You can even ask a close friend to host it for you as well.

If the key aspect is affordable, what’s the budget for venue? Not the total budget (venue + food + decor) just the venue. Details generate more specific recommendations.

I don’t have a figure in mind but it will be small. Maybe 15-20 people.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
