New- Any assistance appreciated
Hey All- I just got engaged last weekend. We are looking to get married in May 2012 and I really need help venue wise. We are trying to keep everything reasonable but I am planning our wedding from where we live in Hawaii to the Northern VA/DC/MD area (where the groom is from). Any suggestions would be fantastic. We are looking at 150-200 guests (probably more like 150). Unfortunately that is as far as I've gotten. Thanks again for any responses. Planning a wedding is difficult enough without living in a place where the timezone is a 6 hour difference!

It depends on your budget but i'm getting a GREAT deal from The Bolger Center. They don't pop up on a lot of google searches, because they're mostly used for conferences and stuff, but the grounds are GORGEOUS, they include EVERYTHING (it's a hotel). you basically can have a free ceremony there; they charge for the cocktail hour and reception, but the price doesn't change if you want the ceremony there as well. they cater it too. ours is about $100 per person,, but that covers the ceremony and reception, 4 hour open bar, 3 food options, the cocktail hour, all the tables, linens, chairs, silverware, glassware, servers, wine service, parking lot for our event, set up and clean up, and a complimentary honeymoon suite. that's a REALLY hard deal to find around here.

if you contact them tell them that Jennifer who's getting married in September sent you

First thing you need to do is determine what your budget is and what vibe you want (i.e. casual, formal, indoor, outdoor). From there, you'll have a much easier time trying to find something, since you would have narrowed your search down significantly, based on what you can afford and the style of the wedding.
Happy planning!
