My wedding is  about three months away, and on such short notice, the original place that Iwas intially going to have my wedding ceremony at is non-existent.  So, I hadn't set a budget for the ceremony location.  Now, I am in DESPERATE NEED of an affordable and desirable ceremony location that costs next to nothing.  HELP!!!

    As long as it is in the St Louis Metropolitan area, I am fine with it.

    Have you thought about having it in a park? They might be the cheapest.

    Most parks are free or have a small fee to hold a ceremony there.  The St. Louis County Parks website has a listing of wedding ceremony locations and their fees.  Also, State Park areas are a small fee as well.  If you are willing to have a ceremony in a church, depending on your faith.  Usually this is based on a suggested donation as opposed to a set fee.  What are you wanting?  Inside, outside? where is your reception space?  Can you use part of your reception venue or something adjacent to your reception venue?

    Hey!  I noticed that your wedding date is the day before mine.  We are getting married Sunday September 5th at Tower Grove Park at the Music Stand.  I know for a fact that its available Saturday September 4th all day because we just called to see when we can have our rehersal.  It's $200 an hour.  I know thats not super cheap but they already have park bench seating for about 200 people so you wouldn't have to rent anything else. If you have a quick ceremony and some good friends and family to help set up any extra decorations you want, you could get it for just 1 hour to keep it cheaper.  If this sound like something you'd be interested in, you can email me and I'll let you know more about it.  SchulzeMC@gmail.com

    Either way, Good Luck!!  I'm sure you'll find something you love so try not to stress too much :)

    Check out Civic Centre Park in St. Peters.  IT's absolutely beautiful there! And I believe it is $70 for 2 hours.

    My fiance and I are getting married in a local park. They are indeed very inexpensive, ours is only $20/hr. Not to mention, many have beautiful views, so there are ample places to take wedding photos and you don't have to do a whole lot of decorating. And as MeShell841 said, some even have seating already. Good luck in your search!

    what hotel are you getting married in? I would love to have an outdoor wedding, but we are getting married August 6th 2011 and thats just too hot. So a wedding at a hotel would be good. Are you having your reception there as well?
