I live in NC and family is up in MA so after trying to plan something that would work in NC and failing we are going to try to do MA or RI (Fiance is from RI).
It will be a small wedding 50-60 guests and I'd like to be able to do the ceremony/reception in one place but I can be flexible on that. I want to do the traditional cocktail hour, plated dinner and dancing so I need a small venue that can accommodate those wishes. I am looking for an October of 2012 date...and I don't want to go crazy on the budget. I am thinking (hoping) to spend no more than 5K on the venue with food,drink, tables, chairs, plates, linens, etc. included. Is that realistic? In NC I could make that happen but not sure about MA or RI.
With ALL that said...I would appreciate budget friendly suggestions from you! I looked online and saw and liked the sapphire estate, Lombardo's, Indian Pond CC, The lantana, Spring Valley CC, and in RI I saw a restaurant called eleven forty nine that does receptions.
Please chime in ladies and help an out of state bride to be!
