Affordable Decent Reception Places

I'm very new to this and I'm on a tight budget.  I'm looking for places that have outdoor ceremony sites as well as reception options.  I'm hoping to stay in DuPage County some places I've looked into are Cantigny, Hotel Baker, Seven Bridges, and Morton.  Anybody have any suggestions or opinions on any of the places I've listed?

Thank you so much!

    We are having ours at the Morton Arboretum. We looked at a lot of outdoor places in DuPage County and that was the one we found most reasonable and liked the location of the best. Let me know if you have any other questions about it!

    Check out the Levy Center in Bolingbrook.  SUPER reasonable rates!

    Not sure what your budget is, but I looked into Hotel Baker and Morton, and I wouldn't call them reasonable exactly... lol.

    We are having ours at Naperville Country Club - no minimum, Friday night discount and overall around 60/person.

    I've also heard White Pines in Bensenville is reasonable.

    We had a smallish appetizer, open bar, cake reception at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield.  It came in at about $2500 total.  Staff was easy to work with and it's a pretty place in the summer with the golf course right there for pics.

    We used Mayslake Peabody in Oak Brook. It has both types of spaces. It's a beautiful quiet location, we loved it!

    I agree with Parrot on the Morton!  I work there and checked it out for mine and for a reception it is not cheap at all ... insanely beautiful and great food but not cheap!  I am having mine at Glendale Lakes Golf Club and their packages are awesome!  What they include in the package for the price is great and if you're looking for off season the price is even better.  I am not sure about their ceremony sites (we're getting married in my church) but I'm sure being a golf course there something scenic and beautiful.
