I know Tom Sawyer does, but that's a more outdoorsy wedding.

We are using St. Matthews Community Center. I don't know how many people you need to hold.  It holds 250.

we're using the kaden towers... you can bring your own alcohol, too, as long as you don't sell it.

Don't you have to rent table and chairs at kaden towers?  Is that expensive renting chairs and tables?  TIA!

I've contacted Tom sawyer park and was told that a licensed caterer is required to bring and serve the food.  Have I maybe misunderstood what i was told ... or is there a way around this?  I love the venue but can't afford a caterer

ecox01, there are a lot of restaurants that also cater.  You might not be able to afford filet and lobster, but I'm certain there's somebody out there that you can work with on price. Think of restaurants you love and find affordable, and start calling.  You might be surprised.
