We just got engaged Friday night. Now I'm trying to figure out all the details to do this wedding as soon as we can 
We've been dating nearly 5 years now, so we are both perfectly fine with getting married this year.
But I need help picking the When and Where.
My lease ends at the end of September, so I'd like to get married before then. But June is practically the official wedding month, and July and August are so hot for outdoor weddings.
I've always dreamed of having a wedding on the beach. I went to my fiance's sister's wedding at an All-Inclusive in Cancun, and it was just perfect. So I can't help but think of hers when trying to plan mine. (Not like a competition or a "keeping up with the Jones's" because there's no way we could keep up with her. But just that it's on my mind.)
Unfortunately (though it totally makes sense) my sister and her husband can't afford to do something like that. I know my FI and I both want our families there. So I need to find something more reasonable and close-by.
Here's the TL;DR:
Does anyone have suggestions on interesting venues I could have a wedding and reception at? I'm not necessarily wanting it to be local, and I'm basically open to any ideas, as long as they are affordable for all parties involved.
I'm in KY, so we definitely need to be in this area of the US - I've already searched all over google and trip advisor for places along the coast in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. I've just got too many ideas, and can't settle on one of them! And if people know of any nice areas in or around KY, that would be helpful too - I'm just overwhelmed with options.
