I'm planning a destination wedding, and would LOVE some honest reviews of local coordinators and venues. Our overall budget is 20-30k, so I'd like to stay around 2-3k for a coordinator. THANK YOU!

    well, with that budget you definitely have options!  I was a destination bride as well and had a really hard time finding a place.  Ultimately I ended up going with Chateau LeMoyne, which we were very happy with.  Especially the food being catered by Richard Fiske's Martini Bar (formerly The Bombay Club).  But these are a few others we explored.

    Rosies Jazz Hall- LOVED, loved this place but ended up just being outside our total budget of $12000 and has a minimum of 75ppl.
    The Pharmacy Museum- This one I really wish I could have gotten.  It gets booked well in advance and is a popular spot.  Beautiful courtyard, but you have to rent and arrange EVERYTHING.
    Hotel Mazzarian-  Beautiful hotel and reception space.  But again, outside our budget.
    Maison- A music venue that is really nice.  They were booked for us though.
    Tomas Bistro- I think that's how it's spelled.  Too big for us, but really nice.
    Irish Cultural Center- Beautiful courtyard.
    Cafe Amelie- again great courtyard, and food.
    Court of Two Sisters- amazing courtyard and food, historic charm.
    Latrobes- Incredible, but a splurge
    Race & Religious- again a splurge, but you can rent the whole place for ppl to stay.  It's beautiful but books out very early!!!! This is another I really would've liked.

    Call Down Annie Lane.  They'll be able to plan you an amazing wedding on your budget.  You didn't say how many people you had, what season, if it's indoor/outdoor, what your major requirements are in a venue, etc, so it's hard to give you a rundown (I was also a destination bride and checked out almost every venue in the city) -- and depending on how far in advance you are planning, venue availability will be a consideration also - but if you call them, they'll take good care of you :-).

    We have a similar budget and are working with Carolyn at All About Events - she's amazing - super responsive and helpful since we're planning from Los Angeles.  I wanted to be really hands on even from a far and she's great at guiding me in the right direction.

    I second the Pharmacy Museum. I had a friend get married at Cafe Amelie and they raved about it, especially the support you get from the owners.
