So without explaining who I am, I'm not sure this post will make sense. But I'm a photographer in Orlando, and my assistant just got engaged in December. I'm helping her look for the perfect venue, but her first choice is way over her budget (Bella Collina).
Can anyone recommend a venue that might be worth looking at? She wants something outdoor, and preferably where she can do both the ceremony and reception at the same venue. Since we're photographers - she's really picky about lighting for the ceremony. She's already decided against Leu Gardens, and doesn't want any hotel spaces because she dislikes ballroom receptions. Oh, and she already knows she wants to bring in her caterer, because she found one she loves.
Ugh... racking our brains here.
(and I know we *should* know a good place - but being in the industry is by far the worst scenario because we need the most help! I've been engaged since 2008 and still haven't even started planning my own wedding!)
