Gonna throw my
in here ...
We had this problem last year ... AVN told us no-go on the in-suite party. Called the hotel. They said the same thing.
After actually getting to the hotel and checking out the corner suite vs. the rooms we actually had the party in, I can see why they said no.
There isnt really enough room in these suites to throw a party ... a small gathering, sure ... but a party ... no way ... the room would get destroyed, the furniture, the rugs etc etc etc and people would be crammed in like sardines.
I think that making you have a booth reawlly sucks, but, if thats what you want to do, then you should def. go offsite ... gives people a chance to get out of the hotel anyways
