Hey! My FI and I are planning on getting married in central Florida around December 30, 2012. He is originally from Orlando but currently we are both in Dallas, TX. We are going to be visiting in the Orlando area right after Christmas this year and are going to begin our quest for a venue. We are on a super budget because I'm a medical student and he is in Chiropractic school. Everything I've looked at so far is either out of our price range or not exactly what we're looking for. Getting married on the beach is a must. However, we don't want to get married in the sand/water necessarily. We want to get married near the greenery (bushes, flowers, palm trees, etc.) We would also like to have our reception there. Our entire budget for the wedding is $5000 and we are going to have anywhere from 50-100 guests... probably closer to the 50 mark because it is a destination wedding. There are a lot of younger kids in my family/guest list so we are going to try to incorporate attending our wedding as a family vacation to Disney as well. This being said, we are thinking we need to stick to the beaches over near the East coast because it's only about an hour away. I'm not opposed to West coast though (who can deny those sunset backdrops?!) Anywho, any help towards this will be greatly appreciated.
