My husband and I are renewing our vows on December 14th of this year. We had a quickie last-minute wedding on Christmas day of 2011, so this is going to be our "Wedding", with the dress and flowers and everything. My problem is venues. Our budget is $5,000 and not a penny more. We're paying for it ourselves, so we absolutely can't spend any more. I've already looked into Clarion Inn, Abita Quail Farm, Dakota's, and a few other places. It's just so expensive. Am I missing out on some lesser known places? Some diamonds in the rough? I'm only having about 50 people there, so I don't need a huge place, but I don't want small and cramped, either. Thanks, ladies!
