  I haven't priced it out, but try looking at some of the parks.  My best guess is that some of the parks would be cheaper than a hotel ballroom for example.  Ridley Creek maybe?

  I have heard good things about P&P.  

  
  

  November will give you bargaining power as it isn't as popular.  In which area are you looking to have your wedding reception?

  I actually found the cheaper months for city wedding are in the summertime.  I am getting married in Philadelphia in November and found it to be a little pricey.

  I second P&P a friend of mine is using them and has raved about their pricing.

  If you are willing to go to a Friday or Sunday for your wedding, you usually can do better pricing wise for both months. Good Luck!

  A tax deduction is possible for using a number of historic landmarks and homes, museums, and even some nature centers. You need to get a written statement from the nonprofit organization which states the amount of your contribution.
  (Info from http://www.theweddingqueen.blogspot.com This may make a previously unaffordable venue more affordable.  There's a book on Amazon about it too, The Tax-Deductible Wedding: More Wedding and Fun, Less Fret and Debt by Sabrina Rivers.  Either might be worth looking into.  I haven't read the book just scanned through it.

  I suggest Romano's catering in philly.  very reasonable prices and their packages include everything.  they also get very nice reveiws online.  imo the best bang for your buck.

  I booked Edgemont Caterer's - the Venetian Hall.
  The package I selected was 4 hours, buffet, open bar... all linens, centerpieces, china, parking, etc... for $29 per person. I kid you not!
  Their packages go up to in the 50's per person but you'll get a lot of selection.
  It's definitely a budget-friendly option.
