Ok ladies, I need some help...

Happy Sunday everyone!

I have a friend who got engaged last night and has to be married soon! Their baby is due in Feb and they wanted to hurry and get married! They are both in their 30's and don't want anythign big. Just a ceremony and then off to their honeymoon in TN.

Do you guys know of any places outdoors to just get married for less than $500?? They are willing to do it during the week if necessary. I was having a hard time coming up with a venue because we only looked at places for our ceremony and reception together so they are all too pricey.

Please let me know if you guys have any ideas! Maybe even a pretty public park??

Thanks for any advice! I know she really appreciates it :)

    Where soes she live?  I know in Collier County, the parks and recs dept is super reasonable to get a permit to perform a ceremony at.  Contact the parks and rec department for whatever county you are in.

    A friend of a friend got married on Clearwater using weddings by Nan located on S. Dale Mabry. She only had a couple of people and went to a resturant after. Nan also took pictures.

     I know in Pasco county there is a beautiful little beach thats fairly unknown by non-locals. Its called Sunset Beachand its in Tarpon Springs. It has a beautiful view of the gulf and an even more beautiful sunsets (hence the name). My friend had a small ceremony their last month and the pictures were amazing! I believe its only $150 or $200 to get the permit, it depends on how many guests they will have. You can also tell her about Goodrentalsinc.com, they have the best local pricing so far that I have found for chairs. Smile I hope that helps, tell your friend congratulations!

    FYI: Not sure if you heard...but good rentals changed ownership and is now Great rentals.  Huge divorce battle with the owners.

    Also, you have Fred Howard park in Tarpon Springs.  Philippe Park in Safety Hardor.  Both are on the water.
