I need a Catholic priest!

So I'm trying to compromise with my mother regarding our wedding ceremony. She is a full blown Catholic and my fiance and I were raised Catholic but have found a beautiful outdoor ceremony site and don't want to have it in a church. Does anyone know of a church/priest who is willing to do outside ceremonies? The ceremony site is in West Springfield, MA. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated!!

My family tried fighting us on the same thing. We are both raised Catholic, but aren't really practicing anymore. Our compromise was to have my godmother ordained for a day (only $25 in MA and super easy), and she did the ceremony. It was really nice to have someone who knew both of us to make it super special. Plus, she's supposed to be the one to guide me through life under our religion, so the compromise worked out well. It wasn't a religious ceremony, but still done to my family's wishes. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info on the ordained for a day thing.
