New around here - question about where to have a wedding?

Hi! I'm new around here & recently got engaged. I was wondering if anyone had great ideas of as to where to have a wedding?  Some place that is beautiful and inexpensive?

We're both from Indiana, and we would like a small wedding, but if we have it there, we have a feeling that many people will show. Unlike if we have it in Arizona, we can invite everyone, but not as many will show.

I would love an outside wedding. But now I see it being close to home, because I imagine trees and greenery around. I am looking for a more rustic wedding. I even found an old barn that I would love to get married at, but they book fast and we were hoping to have it in Arizona. Any suggestions?

<3 Ashley

    It is $3000 split into 3 payments! I got goosebumps when we walked in! If you are on a budget like myself I have a list full of vendors for you! The venue has an all inclusive pkg for around $10,000 but I am on a $8,000 budget for 50 ppl. I did go thru their DJ co.Birkett Entertainment but got a cheaper guy through them, Kyle for $495:) he is great! Also my photog. for $550, Officiant for $250... They provide ceremony music,decor,twinkle lights, centerpieces,flowers. The centerpiece deal w/o all inclusive is $25/per table. But to get more flowers,I am providing my own vases and such. They have candles everywhere!

    I recommend Inside the Bungalow in Mesa. 0-50 guests is $1400 and 50-100 is $1650 if you do both the ceremony and reception there. It's a beautiful 1900's bungalow with gardens and brick courtyards and water fountain.

    That was my first choice. But it looked better online then in person. It is more laid back and simple... The "dance floor" was like a patio area. Not big. It is pretty though!

    Check out Noah's in Chandler. It's AMAZING!! You can bring all your own vendors! Unlike most places where you must use their caterer, etc. And it's really affordable! www.mynoahs.com

    We're having ours at Pinnacle Vista Villa (35th Ave and Pinnacle Vista) in north Phoenix.  Their website doesn't do them justice.  :)  Beautiful rustic place.
