I can't believe how expensive things are!!! My fiance and I are having to pay for everything ourselves and want to keep it cheap. It amazes me how expensive things have gotten! After looking at caterers we decided to try to do the food ourselves (with a little help from family). Then I found the perfect venue. A little more expensive than I was hoping but we would make it work... only to find out you have to use a caterer from a SMALL list they provide (5 caterers), and of course they cost about as much as the venue for as many people on our guest list!!!! Just over $3000 for venue and about $3000 for the caterer!
So I was back on the hunt. I found another venue that was super cheap ($100 per hour!). I emailed them asking for more information only to get an extremely rude response back pushing us to reserve our date FIRST then talk about the details. Um... am I the only one who would like to know more about the venue rather than blindly hoping it works?? Anyway...
Does anyone know of a venue that you can bring your own food, is cheap, can accomidate a guest list of 150, and allows alcohol? We have reduced our guest list already and can't really make any more cuts. The people we have invited are family and very close friends (we both have HUGE families haha).
