Budget Wedding on the Water?

cathyyyy

So I'm beginning to plan my wedding for late spring/summer next year, and asked my fiance where he wants to get married. Of course, he wants to be married on the water, which would be fine other than the fact that we are on a TIGHT budget. I've found some leads in parks and things, the problem with that being those that won't allow alcohol (and there are many that do not).

Does anyone have any suggestions or reccomendations they would like to make? All help is welcome!

I think Kurtz's beach in Pasadena has a lot of options at various price points, you sort of build your own package around your budget.

We are using Londontown Historic Home and Gardens in Edgewater. It is beautiful.

Check out the Rusty Scupper on the harbor.  I am getting married there in July.  We are getting married onthe private deck and then having an appetizer reception with an open bar for about $6K.  It seems like a bargain to me compared to other places we looked.

How many people for the Rusty Scupper wedding? That sounds almost too good to be true!

Our final tab worked out to $7800 for 75 people (4 kids) including the room fee, but we opted for 4 hours of top shelf open bar and a ton of food served passed appetizer style (we did a late night round too)  All in all, I felt like we got a great value and everyone raved about the food!
