I'm researching restaurant venues in houston proper (dt preferred) for night-time wedding + reception and would like your suggestions. I will have around 125 guests and would like to keep food to around $30/plate (or less!) I would love have regional-type cuisine (bbq, cajun, etc), but it's not mandatory. Included with venue, I'd also like to have an area for DJ/dancing.

Suggestions?

I'm not going to be very helpful, but "chic" and "$30" can't go in the same sentence.

Agreed. If you're expecting them to include the venue in the price, as you make it sound, you're going to be looking at at least triple that I think for anywhere close to being "chic."

Perhaps "chic" is the wrong word. I'm not goining for chi chi--just looking for a place with good bones and decent space. For example, I heard Treebeards has an event space above the restaurant with a balcony, high ceilings and a flexible floor plan. <--- this is the type of recommendation I'm seeking.

I think it was a misstep to use "chic" for my descriptor, and instead I should've said "mom and pop" type venue (b/c I realize that's what I'm shooting for on a budget). My bad.
