I have addressed this issue .. and changed the proposal to a property value.

Please read the proposal as it now stands...

There is little there at the moment, some 500 words.

As a native speaker of English, I agree with you. A wedding reception is an event, not a place, and other types of receptions (events) are likely to use the same space. The location would best be tagged reception_area or reception_hall.

I don't know any place like that in Belgium. Places where wedding receptions take place typically also allow for other parties such as wedding anniversaries, etc. Actually any gathering where food and drinks are involved. They are called "feestzaal" (party room) in Dutch. I would not use the tag wedding_reception for those.
 I need a more general tag for those places.

As a non-native speaker, "wedding_reception" sounds more for the event, not for the room in which the event takes place. Am I mistaken on this ?

Whenever the church has a dedicated room for gatherings (typically used after funerals, not s much for weddings) it is called a "parochiezaal" (parish room). Can't use this tag for them I guess.

I would love to see a general tag for a place that is available for rent and where drinks and foods are served. The menu is typically agreed upon beforehand.
