My Fiance an I are getting Married in March Next Year (We just started Planning, and this is how things are working out)

50 People
Wedding Venue - 650$ all day
Includes Venue, Flowers, Chairs, Podium, Speakers, Mic, Raised Platform
Reception - Restaurant Near Venue - 1450$
Includes Candles, chairs, tables, 2 Bottles of Wine per table, and a buffet starting at 22$ a person, with pop/tea/coffee included. Gratuity extra.

if you want something traditional, prepare to pay for it, we are getting married in the aircraft hanger at a museum, these guys are the best, and are pulling out all the stops to try to make the day special. if you think outside the box you might find something way better than a church and you will get a way better bang for your buck.

Photog - Fiances Friend is a Pro Photog, she is giving us her wedding package for free
Cake - My Aunt Bakes for a living, i invited her to the wedding, and she is baking the cake as a present


BTW - Our budget is only 5000$, so it can be quiet easy to get this done cheaply if you look in odd places.
