Ok ladies, I'm looking for a scenic outdoor area to have my ceremony/reception. We plan to have a smaller ceremony with about 50 people with a larger reception, about 100-150 people after with some cocktails and munchies inbetween. I prefer that the reception area either be indoors or be in a covered area due to the possibility of inclement weather. Don't want to break the bank on this and don't want a garden. We are willing to drive about an hour and a half max to get to where ever it is, and we prefer a mountainous setting. We want an on site facility to get ready. Catering can go either way as long as it isn't more than 15 per person. If it's a long drive there I would like to have lodging close by. I already have a prefered photographer, cake maker and I plan to make my own decorations and flowers.
Places I am currently considering:
Beaver Meadows
The Pines at Genesse
The Meadows at Marshdale
Places we have already decided against:
Chief Hosa Lodge
Willow Ridge Manor
Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch
Tapestry House
The Preserve at Bingam Hill
Lioncrest Manor
Oh and a lot more . . . Any ideas would be appreciated.
