Hi guys!
So I'm just getting started on my wedding planning, just got engaged last month! I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about weddings or wedding planning.
I'm a super low-key girl, and originally was planning a simple public park ceremony and reception with around 50 guests, potluck-style, BYOB, beach, etc. Maybe you can already see the problem with this - in the state of Washington, there is absolutely no alcohol in public parks (unless you rent an indoor facility, and then the alcohol must remain in the facility.)
I definitely want my guests to be able to drink on the beach, so I started looking into beachfront rental cabins. Unfortunately they are all small and many seem to have a minimum stay requirement of at least 2 days, and also are unwilling to accommodate the number of people that will be there.
So THEN i started to look at the larger venues. But they're all SO big (and SO expensive), and they almost seem set up to require that you have a formal catering service, etc.
I'm sure you'll laugh at me, but jeez, who knew that planning even a simple wedding could be so complicated! Does anyone have any advice for how I could make this work with minimal effort and money spent?
