hi all -
I'm trying to plan our 2013 wedding, and we're running into major questions about our budget and what we can/can't afford. The issue mostly is the amount of people we feel that we need to invite (150... fiance has quite a large family) and the overall cost of the area. We fell in love with the Carriage House at Rockwood Park, but even that is leaving us with a bit of sticker shock after the price quote, and I feel like they are pretty reasonably priced.
So, my question is if it's even really possible to have a wedding for 150 people without costing more than 100/person, including the ceremony, venue rental, and food? We've been talking about looking into halls - anyone have any advice? I would probably want to do a low-key type of tent wedding before we went the firehall route, but I'm not even sure where to start to look for locations for that. (We are trying to stay around Chester/Delaware county areas, but are willing to look pretty much anywhere within an hour or so)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! I think the first thing we need to do is cut down the list...but I'm clueless as to where to go from there! Thanks in advance
