Is this tacky?

Ok, since we are trying to keep this under $5k this is an idea that I had. Fiance and I want a laid back wedding, almost kinda like a party. So this is what I was thinking:Get a beach house and do the ceremony/reception there. Then have a caterer come in and set up food, buffet style. BUT the caterer does not stay. Basically it would be like a fend for yourself thing. Of course we would still have tables or what not but it would be more relaxed then having everything on a time schedule. SO whenever anyone wants to eat they can do so. We would then just hire a bartender and get all the alcohol. I did price the food that way, and without appetizers it would be about $550. Would this be ok to do? Or would that not be suitable? Fiance liked the idea, but I wasn't sure how well it would go over.Thanks girls! And I do apologize for all the questions  :(

    I think it sounds like great idea! And don't worry about asking questions, that's why we're here. :)

    I think that is fine. I think at Jenn's they even had a video game system set up. A receptionist at our firm's secondary office did a backyard party reception at their home, so post ceremony she changed into a regular dress. She had a fabulous time and everything looked great. :) Remember, the reception is just the party to celebrate. You celebrate in whatever way you two are most comfortable. It should be reflective of you two so you enjoy it :)
