Okay so I thought I decided to get married at my parents house in the backyard and rent a tent to have the reception but....
This new winery opened up about 30 miles from my hometown and they have all new facilities with a fireplace and hardwood floors. It beautiful! They will lock in the 2011 rate of $750 which includes the wedding on their property, reception hall, tables, chairs, white table cloths and a bartender! We can pick our own caterer which is nice and they will supply all the alcohol! They serve beer, wine, and liquor. The lady is going to put me in the book and then she will send me the contract next January so I dont have to stress about a deposit right now!
I just decided it would be too much work for my parents to get the yard ready, bring in all the chairs and table, find parking for everyone....etc.
So far, I have:
Invitations
Venue
Decided I'm going to use an iPod instead of a DJ
some decor
Still deciding on photographer and caterer!
Im sooo excited!! Come on June 2012!
