Strict Budget!!!

in Ohio-Cincinnati

Like so many others, we are on a pretty tight budget when it comes to our wedding.
We are getting married in Cincinnati and are very conservative and don't necessarily want a "grand, cinderella type" wedding. AKA: we don't want to spend thousands of $$ on alcohol and food.

I have a couple questions:
Does anyone know of a reception hall that allows you to bring in your own alcohol? We would love to bring in a few kegs for the reception.
Also, in regards to catering, does anyone know of a caterer or reception hall that would serve something simple such as fried chicken, vegetables, etc?

We have been to many weddings like this in our small hometown, but seem to have trouble finding the same format around Cincinnati.
FYI: Unfortunately, we will still have around 275-300 guests.

Thanks for your help!

    I would recommend Receptions.  Their open bar package is $2/pp but some brides were able to negotiate to throw that in for free.  Their all-inclusive packages is $28-40/pp.  All you would have to worry about is the ceremony, flowers, cake, and music.

    the Receptions is a good option. i think just about every neighborhood has a public building of some sort that you can rent. have you looked at the various community centers around town?

    check out Lake Lyndsay. Also, the Cincinnati parks have lodges you can rent out and bring your own alcohol (Sharon Woods, Voice of America, etc.)
