Suggestions for the perfect place for a large celebration...

[nikitty]

Hi all,

I'm looking for the perfect place to throw a lovely celebration, and thought that you all might be a great resource - since you like to celebrate.

Here are my desires:

* 2 hours outside of San Francisco
* lodging for approximately 130 people
* ability to have dance music on until at least 4 am
* venue capacity approximately 250/300 people
* this doesn't need to be a 'staffed' venue. We are dang good at throwing celebrations
* outdoors with indoor area for late night hanging out
* space for a geodesic dome (which we will provide!)
* great scenery
* kitchen facilities
* open and friendly

* we're open to hosting this celebration on someone's land if there's a b & b or an inn there...

Here are two places that almost fit the bill:

Saratoga Springs:
www.saratogasprings.com - it just doesn't have enough space for people to sleep indoors

and

Trinity Mountains Resort:
http://www.shastaweddings.com/venue.htm - it's just a little too far away. Dang! This site has photos of BM and fun and frolicking on the playa!!!

If anyone out there has any recommendations that might fit my desires - please send me info! I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you so much,
Nikitty
