Hello. My fiance and I are looking to get married 06/30/13. I have no desire for an extravagant wedding and am keeping costs to a bare minumum. My friend, who is an ordained minister, will be performing the ceremony. I love to bake and will be making our cake. We don't want the reception catered - we've got friends who are professional chefs who can take care of the menu. We considered just having it in our backyard, but we don't want our house to be wrecked. Has anyone used a firehall, VFW, or lodge and what was their charge? What about state parks or any other outdoor locations? We're open to any and all suggestions.
