Freaking Out!!

Shaunta A.

Ok I told yall a while ago about the lady giving our date away so we back at one trying to find a spot for the wedding. Its almost 2010 and we still dont have a location! We were looking at a place called Hidden lake but the chick wont return my phone calls are we can never meet on the same day???? So Im just going around her and call the place myself to go see the location. My thing is what if that dont work out? Im down for our ppl but I promise you they give me the mos trouble til I get ugly then things get done! What do I do? I like a place to get married outside, Venue include food with price.I can get my own cake,dj. We doing it on our own so I dont have 30k to spend on this wedding. We gotta live afterwards! Uuum We dont want to go to far! Stone mountain is to far. Ill like to stay south if I can. Im just not getting it!

What's your guest count?  Glendalough Manor is beautiful, has the outside wedding area where the flowers are all in bloom in the springtime and its in Peachtree City.  For 230 people, buffet dinner (inside) and using the house decorations it was like $18,000.  That's the max they can fit and that was pushing it. Maybe you can check them out.

Villa Christina is a nice location. They have a very nice outside area for weddings. I think the max there is 125-150 guests. I'm not for sure of your number but you can find out. They were running a special that included cake, linen, and something else ( I forget) for around 10k-15k.

Don't freak out, maybe think outside the box a bit. Once you change your outlook, your outlook changes.

no freaking out allowed! but  forreal i can definitely understand your dilemma I was there a few months ago.  like one of the pp said, think outside the box. I was set on an outdoor wedding too and I never would have thought this and didn't even know it was an idea, but I am getting married at the courtyard at the memphis zoo! I never even knew people got married there but http://memphiszoo.org/weddingsandreceptionsOne of the things I always try to remember when planning is to not think so tunnel visioned as "wedding" and something just try to plan an amazing party or an amazing event.  Because it's possible that you can find a museum or an art gallery or an event hall that has an 'outdoor space' that you can transform.  And that's usually cheaper than getting a venue that ONLY does weddings because they are used to milking dreaming brides...the wedding industry is full of crooks lol. another option is to do the outdoor portion at a nice local park or a public place that you only have to put a few hundred down on (if that!) and you can put the rest of that money into having an AMAZING reception or into getting transportation for your guests from ceremony to reception or just transforming the space from just a park to YOUR CEREMONY...there have to be so many options where you live! Good luck keep us posted!

I agree with pp. I too originally was going to get married at the zoo (I love animals and I visit zoos all over the US) but shoot it was expensive for what I wanted to do. You can try local parks too. The reception venue I am using is an awesome community center but they have an outdoor area for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Think outside the box and all sorts of options will come up!
