Planning baby shower from OOT - location help! Romeo/Macomb area

Hello Detroit momma's! I am a former Detroiter, relocated to FL over 3 yrs ago and now pregnant with #1, due June 11. All of my family and DH family live up in MI mostly from Macomb to Imlay City, think NE metro-Detroit. We are starting to plan a baby shower for the spring time and I am having a hard time coming up with venues. Ideal location would be Romeo, as that would be center, but 2nd choice would be Macomb/Shelby Twp/Washington area. Can you recommend a venue that can hold about 70 people (both families together)? Even a restaurant that has a room for private parties would be awesome. Looking to do brunch or lunch, however not opposed to a Friday night appetizers/dessert type shower either. Thanks in advance, Bumpie's for all your help!!

    First congratulations on your expectant LO! I had my shower at Hamlin Pub on 25 mile and Van ***, they have a beautiful banquet room and good food. The prices are very reasonable. I think Santinos has a private banquet room but may not be large enough, it's near 27 mile off Van *** in Washington Twp. Good luck!

    I had mine at Brio at Partridge Creek and it was really nice. We had about 50 people very comfortably but I think the room an accommodate a few more, you'd have to call. The food was great and the prices were very comparable to every other place we checked out.

    Do you have anyone still local- assuming so since you are coming back for your shower!  There are a ton of churches in the area that have great halls.  I grew up in IC and live in Romeo and decided to have mine at our local church in Romeo because not many of the IC people would want to go much further south of Romeo.  There is also a new place to eat that just opened north romeo that has a banquet hall- but not sure the # that it holds-Legends RoadHouse (586) 336-1800

    Did not know about Legends! That is a good location too, I will check it out.

    I had a friend recommend Filippa's, so far they have several dates that work out good with my travel availability, so it might be a winner. And they serve a breakfast buffet and I would actually prefer breakfast over lunch, esp since I am so disgusted by chicken since being pregnant!

    I had my son's baptism party at Hamlin Pub and it was really nice (don't let the fact it's a pub turn you off).  The prices were extremely reasonable for what you got.  What's nice is they have a seperate door too, so guests didn't have to go through the restaurant. 

    I had also looked into the Washington Lions club- it's pretty close to M53.  They have a really nice banquet hall and they work with a catering company, so they have a bunch of options.  The prices seemed pretty reasonable (the dates didn't work, so that's why we didn't book with them)

    Update!

    I really wanted to try to have a brunch/breakfast specifically b/c since being pregnant, chicken and turkey have really made me sick when I eat them, and its the majority of what restaurants serve for lunch entrees. I wanted to atleast be able to enjoy the food at my own shower, so decided breakfast food was a good option. Also, my MIL decided she wanted to throw her own shower instead of combining with my mom (different vent - 2 showers in one weekend, in which I have to travel 1200 miles to attend at 31 weeks pregnant....yeah, I'm totally going to be up for that (hint the sarcasm???)) so we opted to have the shower with my side of the family at Ike's for a breakfast buffet. Something different than the typical luncheon. Prices were very reasonable and when you book a room that starts before noon (we have the room 10 - 1:30) there are no room fees!
