Greeting Ladies!

I've got some issues with my wedding planning. We were planning on having the reception and ceremony at Fairview farms. However the more I think about it the more I don't think pulling off a wedding and reception there is going to be next to impossible. But I really can't afford multiple venues. Does anyone know of any inexpensive churches I could possibly look into??

Thanks!!

We're going to need some more information.  How much are you wanting to spend?  Also, why do you think it's going to be next to impossible to pull them off in the same place?

I'm thinking no more than $500 for the hour, hour and a half tops we would need the church or other place. Fairview is basically a big barn but it doesn't provide a lot of way to flip the room from ceremony to recpetion. I'm just all around unsure about having the ceremony there. I want to focus on my new husband and our friends and family not move tables into place the second we say I do.....

Fairview farms is going to be really loud becuase it is right next to the highway. Have you thought of having your guests sit at their dinner tables during the ceremony? That's one way to avoid the room flip. However, if you just move everyone outside for a 30 minute cocktail hour, the room flip could happen pretty easily.

I guess you could try www.rentmychurch.com.

I'm really not sure what the problem is.  Have your chairs set up for watching the service, and then have tables with chairs separate from that section.  Then you're not flipping anything.

I suggested the having everyone sit at the tables for the ceremony idea to my FI he didn't like it. There isn't enough room in the barn to set up tables and then have a seperate seating area for the chairs. I think I might make a trip over there and sit down with the coordinator and discuss it with her. Thank you everyone

It's good they have a coordinator; I'm sure she'll be able to give you ideas.

Also, in my experience the churches are more than $500 to rent; but you might be able to get a separate DOC for that. Those people could be in charge of moving chairs. Because, yeah, you will not want to be hauling around chairs in your wedding dress to flip the room between ceremony & reception!

When is your wedding? What area are you hoping to stay close to if you move it?

The venue is in Plano and we are getting married next Aug. I know super early to plan, but we have a tiny budget and need to pay stuff out. lol
