I am having a problem contacting most of the venues I have considered (which is aggravating in itself) but the few I have contacted/seen I did not really like for various reasons, except for one. The only problem with the one that I halfway like is that it being a city park does not provide ample seating or tables for the reception. After seeing how much rental of these items are it is obvious one is better off to rent a place that provides such and I also would not mind finding somewhere that had an indoor option in the event of rain. So what I'm asking my fellow knotties is this: where in Alabama are some good places to get married (and the less expensive the better)? My fiance grew up in Alabaster (close to Birmingham) and I grew up in Ashland (a very small town south of Talladega) but we now live in Auburn. So pretty much anywhere in between Birmingham and Auburn would work. Thanks!!
