Hello Knotties!! 

My fiance and I are recently engaged (2/5/14!!) and we are looking for the "perfect venue".  Does anyone have any suggestions of BYC/BYOB venues? 

I've looked at all the places I could find both here and on wedding wire, wedding bee, and rustic bride, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask!  

Ideally the site fee would be $4k or less - thanks!

    @Aimie425 suggest I'd saw the Webb Barn, I am actually getting married there in May and they fit both of the criteria you listed above, and depending your catering you may be able to BYOB or have them provide.

    Congrats!

    We're getting married at the Scandinavian Club in Fairfield which has a very reasonable fee. Here's my list of unique venues in Fairfield County that I rarely see listed. I'm pretty sure these fit your criteria, too: 
    • The Fairfield Historical Society, Fairfield
    • Burr Mansion, Fairfield
    • The Beardsley Zoo Carousel Room, Bridgeport
    • Downtown Cabaret, Bridgeport
    • Gallagher Mansion, Norwalk 
    • The Stamford Nature Center, and our rehearsal dinner venue 
    • The Discovery Museum, Bridgeport 

    Just remember to leave plenty of room in your budget for rentals; depending on the place you might need a tent, linens, chairs, plates, glasses, silverware etc. and that can quickly turn a $30 a head catering tab to a $60 a head catering tab.
