We're getting married October 5th, 2013. We're looking at 125-150 guests. We have our own band and belly dancers. The girls do a fire show (and are insured), so we would like to be able to go back outside after sunset if the location would allow it!
We've been on the hunt for a park in the Chicago Burbs (preferrably SW, but will consider other areas) that are within a lower budget. We also would like to be able to cater in ourselves if we end up using their facilities.
Does anyone have some suggestions for us? Positive and negative experieces would be greatly appreciated so we know where to look. A lot of the places that we looked at with outdoor areas are pretty pricey! We thought if we could hit up a park district it might help the cost.
Thanks in advance!
