Wedding reception is the name of the party, not the mappable venue. 

There are wedding themed event halls all over japan - they love the idea of a 
western wedding in a "church" (they all are fake churches) -  but are used for 
non-wedding events too. My school has a parent-teacher dinner at one.  

There has to be an "event space" that is meant for smaller facilities - I dont 
care about renting a stadium or a civic center if im looking for an event space 
for a wedding or an office party.
