Help ladies! I'm a picky girl who's just realizing it!

Okay, this sucks rocks but I've recently realized that I'm apparently pretty picky. So, I'm not particularly worried about WHERE we have the ceremony/reception, but I'm picky about how it looks. Here's the issue: I've bought a dress from Alfred Angelo's Disney Princess Collection (Snow White) and I fully intend to keep to the "Princess" wedding theme. Not saying I've had a hard life, because I really haven't, but I've worked really hard for the little things I have in my life. I don't want to sacrifice when it comes to wedding like I do for other things. I would like an outdoor ceremony with lots of trees (we're getting married in October, my favorite month, specifically because of them) and because the colors are so amazing. However, I would also like the reception to be at the same site that offers, dare I say, upscale food. Most things I'll be doing myself (flowers, jewelry, centerpieces, etc.) but there are just few things I won't sell myself short on. What I've had hopes for so far is Scioto Reserve in Powell, which I really do like with the exception of there's not so many trees. It's gorgeous, though, but I'm also hearing it's booking dates for next year already so I'm sure someone will pick my date. (Okay, so I'm freaking out just a little, don't judge me!) I'm also a broke college kid who is, at the present time, buying a car and freaking out about money, which is why I'm doing a lot of the little things myself to cut costs. Do any of you wonderful ladies know of a place that would fit my description anywhere around Columbus that isn't crazy freaking expensive? Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

    sounds like you want a country club. there are several good ones in columbus.
    otherwise i suggest the medallion club or the river club at confluence park.

    You might want to try the Jeffery Mansion in Bexley.

    I guess I need to know how "upscale" you want your food.  If you want food that's upscale then your best bet would be the Darby House since Cameron Mitchell is the exclusive caterer.  It's a GORGEOUS location with lots and lots of trees and your ceremony can be outside or inside, and the reception indoors.  It's crazy expensive for a saturday evening wedding though, but much cheaper for a friday or sat or sun during the day.  
    Also, I agree with another post that said you may want to look into country clubs.  I'm getting married at Heritage Golf Club with the ceremony outside and reception inside, and since it's a golf club there a lot of trees but of course they're not right on the golf course.  The trees more or less surround the golf course.  The food is amazing and it's affordable.  For my date they don't have minimums, but I do believe that starting in 2011 they started making minimums so you might want to double check.
    HTH!
