Looking for a wedding venue under 2,000

I would suggest you look at cities in different states that have beaches and then check out the venue pricing via this website. It will be very helpful. Your best states would either be Florida or California her peaches IPL.

*for beaches in my opinion.

You could also check North and South Carolina! You might be able to find some beach venues there. My aunt got married on a beach in Florida, and what she did was found a restaurant on the beach (it was gorgeous with the wall facing the beach all glass) and had her ceremony on the beach and then reception in the restaurant. If I remember correctly, the venue rental price was relatively cheap, most of what they paid was catering/food costs. My wedding was in a ballroom and was the same way cost-wise, the venue price was only 500 as long as I met the 2,000 food & drink minimum. There are tons of options, just be open to different ideas!
