Hi all!! Hope everyone’s planning is going well
I am still searching for a venue so that I can also set an official date. We're thinking late September or Early October of 2013.
I am looking for a more casual venue...preferably outdoorsy. We are going to be saying our vows in a very intimate ceremony and then will be holding a party/celebration event. We’re thinking 60-75 people, but will be finalizing that this this weekend. Additionally, we are on a total budget of under $5,000. We want to enjoy the day and celebrate with family and friends but not be in debt afterwards.
I was thinking the North Park Lodge because it’s inexpensive ($350 all day, including alcohol permit… and about 90 chairs and tables for the chairs) and can allow us to do a very casual celebration… Additionally, we can supply our own alcohol (I have many bartender friends I can pay to help) and can choose our own caterer. I am going to see the lodge next week.
I would also consider an outdoorsy venue… I wish the Morning Glory Inn didn’t have such horrible reviews, because their lit up garden at night is what I consider to be PERFECT.
Does anyone else have other inexpensive/creative ideas? My other concern is a few family members will be traveling…I would have liked to have a venue that was very close to a hotel in order to prevent DUIs…
THANK YOU LADIES!
