I have been planning my wedding since July for where I live but we ran into some major financial issues! Now our budget is downsized more than half so we are thinking about coming to Folly Beach to elope. Instead of a big wedding and reception with 100 guests, we want a simple ceremony with no more than 25 people. We vacation at Folly every year so I know parking is iffy. Our ceremony is at 7:30 p.m. ( low tide) so we know we can find beach space. My issue is, we cannot afford to get a beach house for a week. Our budget is a tentative $500 so I am at a loss of what to do! Does anyone have any suggestions how we can make this work? We have a minister and photographer so that's not a problem but lodging is!
