my reception is at laurel manor in Livonia and im looking for a spot for the ceremony that is close. i have plenty of time to find one since the wedding isn't until sep 2, 2011 so for now im being a bit picky with what im looking for. it is very important that it is outside and i don't necessarily need a backup indoor spot because there is a chapel at laurel manor that i COULD use if it started to rain. i want to have some sort of gazebo or raised platform like stairs or something so i was thinking about a park. i also dont want to spend money on decorations like flowers so background greenery like trees and bushes are a must. i looked at the longacre house in farmington hills which would be perfect except that they want me to rent the whole place for 5 hours just to use the gazebo for an hour...not happening! i dont need an officiant and my ceremony is not going to be religious! does anyone know of a good place that loosely fits this criteria?
