Too Hard to Answer.... without knowing what YOU want. There are a ton of places.

What I want for a wedding reception I would like it to be elegant, mostly white colors, lots of life flower arrangements, very formal, well lit, something in victorian style, do you get the picture? and I am aware that no matter how formal you go, there has to be a dancing space. But I want the band to be able to play quiet music too. Which place do you think can pull out this kind of reception?

Thanks!

Wedding Check some fancy hotels in the North or some "Casa de Banquetes", they can arrange anything or "theme" you want.
Of course, it´ll cost you a lot of money.

La Fontana Large complex with at least three different administrative operations.

I have witnessed several weddings here. The Hotel even has a pretty church/chapel that has services every Sunday.

Beautiful place for a wedding Hi Sonya,
I'm getting married in Bogota. The ceremony and reception will be held in the Museo del Chico. They will arrange anything you want.... or you can hire a private wedding planner. An advantage of the Museo del Chico is the large parking zone. I also find convenient to have the ceremony (catholic in my case) and the reception in the same place. I also like the fact that it is like a country space in the north of Bogota.
The museo has three different salones (more like a little house) to choose from: Casa del parque, Casa del museo and Salon Granahorrar. I love the Casa del museo but la Casa del parque is perfect for 72 people too.

I hope this info is helpful.
Cheers.

Wedding details I just read your previous postings. A few comments:

Do not worry much about the details such as your hair etc. If you haven't been in Bogota, you should know it is a big city where you can easily find everything you need. There are MANY hairsaloons and all depends on your budget. There is a place in front of the Unicentro Mall (well known for Bogotanos) which offers everything you need... the gown (rentals, alterations etc), hairdo, facials etc etc. In front of Unicentro (Carrera 15th) you can also find a couple of tuxedo's rental stores.
Also, a guy videotaping the wedding ceremony and reception is very common and never considered tacky. Some of the places that host ceremonies offer this service so you should better check if they allow you to bring your own cameraman.

Museo del Chico
Hacienda Fagua (near Chia)
Hacienda Marquez (near La Calera)
Gun Club

I highly recommend the two haciendas as they provide the best possible setting for a wedding of any size. Also, I'd stay away from the hotels.

I agree... with santiBOG. The only drawback is they might be a little too far north outside of Bogotá but no excessively so. You might also take a look at some of the haciendas out near Cajicá

Hacienda Fagua (near Chia)have been there and it is nice. About 30 km from Bogotá. Hacienda Marquez (near La Calera)heard good things from friends.

Reception locale Well we had our wedding earlier this year at Pueblo Viejo out near Cota.
Wonderful place set on the grounds of this country club - trouble is you need a members help to 'make things happen'. Still could be worth looking into.

Elegant and stylish wedding reception I agree with webmanco about Scriabyn. They are very professional and offer great service. Check them out at www.scriabyn.com.

Would also like to add to SantiBOG's suggestions (I agree you should stay away from hotels):
Hacienda San Luis: www.haciendasanluis.com (20 min north of Bogota).
Parque Chicaque: www.chicaque.com (20 min south of Bogota).
