Hello, we are planning to have a wedding in Odessa (Ukraine) in September 2008. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good place for a reception (about 20-30 people). We're trying to find a restaurant with great music (live preferrably), excellent food, and nice lighting. Can anyone recommend? Thanks!

I have used this agency before for arrangements in Odessa and maybe they can help. Say that "Dennis" recommended you. http://www.vip-ukraine.net/

Forget my last message. A friend has told me of some "shady" connections with the previously mentioned agency.

there are about 100+ places that fit your criteria just in the center of Odessa.

A popular option is Allie Parusa, which is corner of Deribasovskaya / Ekaterininskaya. the place has been there for many many years and is popular host for occasions such as yours. Here is their link: http://alie-parusa.odessa.ua/en/?chapter=1

Although, given your small group, you can easily go to just about any restaraunt and my suggestions is to look for one where you can be outdoors. I recommend, Andijon near Arkadia street. They have live music and all that stuff.

Hope this helps. Make sure to have lots of Vodka, unlesss you want pissed of guests :-)

Thank you. Someone recommended a restaurant in Arkadie Beach called "Asol." Any thoughts on that? Thanks

It is a nice restaurant right on the beach and is open (with roof) on the top level. A good enough choice.
