ssbb11

hi!  just got engaged, and am hoping to have a dec 2012 wedding.  since it will be december, i am looking for a place that has a nice indoor ceremony space.  would prefer it to be outside CC.  anyone have any unique suggestions?  trying to find a place that either lets us byob, or has a reasonable venue fee (no more than $3500).  any suggestions?  my main issue is i hate to think of blowing a ton of money on one party!  i've looked at the aldie mansion- does anyone have any suggestions similar to that?

How many guests?  What style of venue (modern, formal)?

Well, my preference is for no more than 100 guests..we will see what other input yields : )

Style of venue should not be formal...and not necessarily modern- just unique, and with its own ambiance.  I would prefer not to do a ton of ceremony/reception decor minus centerpieces and a few things.

I love my venue - the House of Colonial Dames, but you would need to keep it under 80.

I loved mine at Faunbrook B&B.  There is enough room inside to hold 60 - 80 people and it's gorgeous.  You'd stock your own bar and there are seven rooms that are yours for the night so you and family or friends can stay there.
