Oh Geez! This is taking more than I thought and I am beginning to freak out! At first I thought having a guest of 75 would be the problem but now location and many other things have taken the spot. I am trying to have a very small wedding, ceremony and a small reception for 75 guests. I am having a hard time finding locations and menu prices that fit my budget! What I was thinking was the ceremony and then we would all go to a restaurant but I guess 75 is too much for a restaurant and that makes it a banquet hall setting, which is then going to include decor which obviously means more $$. Now that is the problem! Any ideas??

Hayley C, you seem like a very nice and caring person. I have a June wedding with a limited budget. I'm overwhelmed by all the things that need to be done. My fiance and I are trying to cover everything, but there are so many. Do you consult, or plan weddings? I got the impression that you've done some in the past, but I don't know if you are doing it professionally, or not. I'd like to speak with you, but I'm new and don't see anywhere to do a private message. In messages, it looks like the only option it gives is to contact a vendor. I'm not looking for any expensive wedding planner, just someone who knows the ins and outs.

Hope you can help us out,

Thanks,

--Scott M.
