I recently read that a backyard wedding could be more expensive than getting a venue. Has anyone experienced this?
I'm at the beginning stages of planning and was hoping to use an amazing Airbnb I found (yes, they allow it). Not only is it super low cost but my out of town family can stay there. I'm only having 50 people max so the area it will hold everyone.
The number one thing is that I need my location to be by the lake & surrounded by nature. Lots of that in Idaho, but for a steep price for an actual venue.
ETA: All the venues I've been able to find with the locations I want are around the $2,500 - $3,000 mark. No catering or coordinator included.
Thanks for your input! This forum is a lifesaver!
