[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - wedding_reception

[John Eldredge]

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.
