Hello,
We are looking for a beautiful but inexpensive wedding location in the Portland area for approximately 100 people (hopefully with the option of choosing a caterer and buying our own alcohol).
We like the idea of a park wedding, but when I started adding up approximate costs of renting chairs, tables, a tent, linens and a dance floor it looked as expensive as many of the $1000+ venues. Any ideas regarding inexpensive rentals or pretty public spaces with cover in case of rain? Or if you plan for a July wedding do you gamble on good weather?
Finally, we had looked at some of the McMenamin's locations but were not excited by the menus. Do people have thoughts on the quality of the food there?
Thank you for any suggestions. This forum has been so helpful.
