I am seriously considering this venue because the location is just incredible, but I'm wondering if the savings will really be much after dealing with all of the rentals needed in addition to the caterer etc. If anyone is planning or has recently had a wedding there I would love to hear what sort of items you need(ed) to rent, recommended vendors etc., and if it was worth the more "do it yourself approach" compared with more user friendly packages offered at hotels.
Thank you!
