Garden/rustic location is a city park with a hall. I would have to get vendors for the decor, food, etc. The place is nice and can be decorated very nicely but can also look tacky very quickly. As I’ve seen pics of other people’s weddings. So decor is very important to me.
The city/rooftop skyline includes tables, set up breakdown, food, cake, drinks, ceremony. And frankly, It’s more of the look that I was hoping for.
Note- we are paying for our own wedding, which is small of about 45-50 people and we are on a budget. However, when I tallyed up everything they would come out to be roughly the same price. Since I would have to do everything with the park, I can go with a local restaurant for food and they only allow beer and wine so I can get that myself and it’ll be cheaper. Which opens up a budget for a decorator/planner. Because of this, it’ll even allow us to add a few more guests we wanted to invite but didn’t quite make the cut. Also, the garden venue would also open up the budget for other perks like photobooth, maybe even a violinist. With the rooftop, I will just have to worry about getting a DJ and getting my own center pieces. Our budget would probably not allow for more perks with the rooftop venue.
But I can’t decide which one to go with. This whole process of planning a wedding is very overwhelming and because we are paying for our own wedding and on a budget it doesn’t help much.
