Venue change- Wedding in 3 months- Help Please!

Okay ladies by the title you can tell what this is going to be about.  It is about 3 1/2 months from the wedding and everything has went downhill.  If you have read my previous post before.  You know it's everything from family problems to financial problems.We have had so many issues with my sister and my Bridesmaid that we cut the Bridal party instead of cancelling the wedding all together.  We figured the best route was to still allow everyone to attend but eliminate a lot of drama which was coming from my side of the bridal party.That was fine until I found out recently that my Mother is so upset about it that she has decided to step back and not take part in the wedding.  Not that she isn't going to attend but she isn't going to help with opinions or talk about it.  I found that out when I tried to talk to her about what's been going on and she finally told me.I'm over the drama, over one day, when my Fiance and I will get married with or without everyone.  I just can't do it anymore, not to mention the financial problems we are still having.So my question is, does anyone know of any places in Orlando, Daytona, Central Florida in general, that would be smaller and intimate, so that we could invite maybe 20-30 people, and I could still wear this dress that I spent tons of money on.  I know there are some places in Orlando that are chapels and stuff which is a great idea and is what we are looking for.We just want my Fiances Parents and Grandparents not to be punished for everyone else.  And if people in my family can put themselves to the side for the day they can come as well.  We also wouldn't have to ask my mother for anymore help with this wedding financially if it's something small, intimate, and quicker.  Thanks a bunch ladies, sorry it's so long.

    If you're looking for a chapel i know "little white wedding chapel" i think is the name. it is on International Drive. A friend of mine got married there and about 20 ppl showed up. It was very intimate and i'm sure she didnt spend much on it. We then had the reception at the holiday inn on kirkman, aain for the same amount of people. It was actually a lot of fun! Sorry you're going through all this... :( Hope this helps!

    Summerlin House in Thornton Park.  Say you heard about them through a bridal show and you get 20% off.  I think they listed that you can have a brunch for up to 50 people for $3500 (that's before the discount).

    the cathedral of the incarnation is cute and small if you are looking for a church wedding. it's in college park.[url]http://www.theparish.org/html/weddings/index.html[/url]it looks like All Saints on lyman in winter park has a small chapel too but not sure what their wedding policy is.i also met with the people at First united methodist in winter park and they are very nice people and will marry you even if you arent a member. their chapel is SUPER cute for a small wedding![url]http://www.fumcwp.org/about_us/wedding_information/[/url]there are tons of restaurants in both college park and winter park if you are looking for a place to host a smaller reception. for example, doesn't dubsdread have a smaller room for receptions? in winter park- some nice restaurants that can accommodate 20-30 people easily would be park plaza gardens and circa (which has an upstairs private event area)[url]http://www.circa1926.com/events.html[/url]

    Ugh... what a drain! Sorry you have to go through this... I would just want to elope at the point. :) I don't know if you'd want to do this for the ceremony but for the reception/dinner/brunch part you might want to check out Antionio's in Maitland on 17-92. They have a great upstairs banquet room and the prices are pretty reasonable. They have room for dancing too. The food is great and the room is beautiful. Also Maggiano's down on I-Drive has great rates and private rooms. I've been to rehearsal dinners there and it's so nice... great food... and I've been told the prices are great. Everything will work out. :)

    What used to be the Captain and the Cowboy out in Apopka- they have a small chapel and the restaurant. They changed the name and redid the restaurant since I have been there. I can't find a website, but this article from the Sentinel might help. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/destinations/centralflorida/orl-loc-manor-022709,0,268071.storyI just saw an ad for them in a magazine too.

    Enzo's on the Lake might be a good place to try. Also the Longwood Community Building is really cute, that was my first choice. If you know a resident of Longwood, ask them to rent it under their name and it's only like $30 an hour or something.

    Longwood is really pretty, its a beautiful old house!If you decide to look at it and like it, let me know I know the P&R people well- I can see if they would help you out as a favor to me!
