I recently got engaged and I cannot decide what kind of wedding to have. We had originally planned to a wedding with about 150 guests at a golf course but as we were going to do the deposit it just didn't feel right. I looked at the budget and I don't want anything fancy, it was going to be around $12,000. I just can't imagine spending that much for one day. Now we have cut the guest list down to about 100 and I can't seem to make anymore cuts as we have a large immediate family and we would like close friends too. We have gone back and forth with different ideas such as a ceremony and then just having cake or snacks but a lot of places have different places for the ceremony and reception. It seems having more of an evening wedding gets expensive with drinks and a DJ but I feel like I might regret not having a traditional wedding. We would only like to spend $5,000 on everything. Any ideas on venues or ceremony places? Would love to find somewhere we could bring our own food and drinks
