Suppose that you are going to hold a wedding party. You may want to hold it in a place other than your home or a splendid restaurant. It's a place special for holding parties. What do you call it. A 'party hall'? A 'celebration maison'?
( I'm trying to find an equivalent for a Persian word-تالار)

No, wouldn't recommend any to Rafee.
Catering hall: too casual for most weddings; sounds like some cafeteria.
Forum: too abstract, and wrong – any place for debates, presentations.
Function hall: dignified enough, but stil says nothing about wedding.
Maybe there is no word for it, because no place is dedicated to weddings only.
But why need a word if a real-life location has to be announced anyway, like, 'Please join us at the Mayflower's reception hall.'

I exactly wanted to find a real-life place. And I said it's especial for "parties", not just wedding parties.
Thank you all,
Rafee
If I was searching for somewhere to hold a party/reception I'd look for function rooms, or a community hall if it was something more informal. Then on invitations it would either simply be "Please join me at XYZ Hotel/conference centre/hall to celebrate....". If there were multiple function rooms at the venue the name of the room would be included.
