Hi Everyone! I'm recently engaged and my fiance and I are starting the whole wedding planning process. As of right now, we're on a pretty tight budget, my parents are generous enough to contribute $15,000 and we'll probably add in another $5,000 of our own. I am not sure yet if my fiance's parents will be making any sort of contribution, so as of right now I'm looking to have my wedding for right around or under $20K. Does anyone have ideas for ceremony and reception sites that are inexpensive (we're not having a church wedding)? I know getting married in the offseason is usually favorable to save money, but we both really like the warmer months, and would want to be able to have pictures outside. We're open to May-November of 2013 for a date. Someone had said that Traditions of Wallingford, CT is pretty inexepsnive, with plates starting at $45, but I wasn't sure if that was the off season price, or the normal price. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them, since I feel like every place I look into has gotten crossed off my list for being to expensive. I look forward to chatting with many of you!
