Ricanxixa

Hello everyone....I need help. I don't even have a budget, because I have NO $$$$. we are hoping to do an intimate affair, as it is our second time around for each other. SIMPLE, but nice; close to the ocean will be very good because it has special meaning to both of us. NO more than 75 people MAX maybe 55 if we can cut some people out. I live in Southern California/Los Angeles area. Thank you for your suggestions.

Have you thought about doing a small elopement on the beach?  If you do it during the week officiants and other vendors are really cheap; I actually have a friend of a friend named Chris Robinson www.officiantguy.com who does a lot of those, and my photographer Corbin Kell, www.corbinkell.cc, has great packages for weekday and weekend a packages.  Even if you do a full wedding, look into a weekday wedding they are super cheap

I agree about doing a weekday wedding.  You'll cut down on your guest list and you would be able to negotiate with vendors since that's a time when they normally wouldn't be working.
