We had the idea of doing our reception at a campground .. our theme is very "simple" ("summer picnic" .. think: fireflies, roasting marshmallows, and sitting around a campfire next to your new husband, wrapped in a blanket and watching the flames) .. it's an August wedding (of this year!) and I just got engaged on New Year's Day, so I don't have a whole lot of time to look for a venue!
Our biggest problem:
Obviously we want to have a location that allows camping, and open fires. We'd also like to have a DJ, and alcohol. Preferably a place that also has an indoor facility, like a full-enclosure shelter house or something.
I'm having the hardest time finding campgrounds like this in my area! (northwest Ohio.) We're on a tight budget, and don't want to travel too far, (that would include hotel accomodations for the whole wedding party the night before the wedding AS WELL as the camping after, we can't afford that.) I can't really think of any family members that own enough land to do something similar on.
Anyone have any suggestions?
(ps - wedding budget : $5000, 100-125 guests)
