I remember this place being mentioned a few days ago by some spoiled brat that took the money and didn't invite anyone including her own parents. Are you aware that weddings at this location run about $50k? Forget the distance aspect, $50k for a reception site is freaking ridiculous for a one day party. I could never do that to my parents even if they where willing to pay unless I would pay for it in the event that they didn't and I'm way to practical for that.

Are you referring to Biltmore?
If so, I agree with you $50,000 is way to much to spend on a reception site.
That said, I've already contacted their wedding people and have gotten some basic quotes (wanted to have all my ducks in a row before talking to my father). The estate has many different ceremony/reception sites, and the one I've chosen was one of the cheaper ones.
After figuring everything up (and this includes just about everything but the bridal party attire) it came to about $10,000. Yes this is a large number, but I don't see it as being outrageous for such a memorable location.
Now, with all that said...my issue isn't about price, it's about distance from family. Even if the wedding is not at Biltmore, it will still be in the same general area and the same distance from family members.
