<p>I'm graduating HS in May and want to have a family get-together afterwards... There'll probably be about 20 family members in total, some from out of state for the occasion. Normally this is no hard task to accomplish, but my family has some major drama... certain family members from each "side" don't talk to other members of the family. I am literally the only person in my family who is on good terms with every single other family member. It sucks, and because of this, having the reception at any one of the family members' houses is not viable, since no matter whose house it is, one of the family members attending the graduation would not be welcome. </p>
<p>So now I have to find a public venue for this... But I have no clue where to start looking. I know some restaurants have big rooms that are secluded and can be closed off which can be reserved for special occasions, but then everybody's sitting down and not really mingling and I won't exactly get to visit with them all, which is what my whole goal is. Any suggestions?</p>
