Hi,
I am trying to find a venue in San Diego that can:
- hold 150 guests
- outside ceremony at least
- $10,000 for food, site and rentals... and ideally a 2 hour hosted bar / wine and beer
- good place for an august 2011 wedding.
I know in order to hit this, I need to be leaning towards the private venues... i have looked at a ton of places but so far, site fees are about $4,000 and that only leaves $6,000 for other reception items. first off, is $4,000 too much? and, $6,000 for everything else seems hard to do... is it?????
Help! I am trying to not use a planner, and being that i dont live in SD right now, I think I have to hire one

. any suggestions are greatly appreciated. if it matters - total budget is $20,000.
THANK YOU!
