I was thinking of possibly 'building' my own wedding and customizing everything and having the ceremony right on the water at a private residence outdoors with a tented reception. I would need to rent tables, chairs, linens.. pretty much do EVERYTHING myself (meaning without a coordinator or planner). I know I am capable of doing it, but was wondering if anyone has ever had a wedding at a friend/family member's home and had to do it all yourself? Was it very hard? Should I stray away from this? Any thoughts..sugesstions.. would be greatly appreciated!
