Where's the best place to have a wedding reception in the neighborhood?
This week's Patch Readers' Choice Poll wants to know where is the best wedding reception venue in West Roxbury?

There are several options in the poll, feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments section below. We'll leave the poll up all week then close voting at 9 a.m. on Friday.
