Hey everybody!I'm new to the board. We got engaged in March, but we're only now getting into serious planning mode. I guess I was hiding from wedding planning for a while -- it's an intimidating prospect!Anyway, we're hoping to set a date and reserve a ceremony venue (Allerton Park in Monticello) within the next week or so. We're still undecided about whether to also have our reception on-site at Allerton or whether to do a backyard reception. My FI's parents have a house with a lot of land just outside of Champaign, and it seems way more cost effective to do the reception there and avoid markups on food and drink, site rental fees, etc., especially since we've always wanted a casual reception.Anybody have any wisdom to share about receptions at Allerton Park? Are there any other Allerton or backyard wedding brides lurking on this board? Thanks, ladies!~Sarah
