Need help 😩

Most parks can accommodate this and will be much cheaper than a venue. You'll need a permit. Area is a key factor in price, people should be better able to help if you let us know your locale

Either Tahoe or Reno

Also just bought a house so trying to be on a budget and cooking together is what we all love to do I also want a place where we can sleep because I have family visiting from Germany and all over .

I don’t know of anything at your location but any community center could work, they usually have a kitchen.
I’d normally suggest airbnb but most don’t allow events and the ones that do are going to charge you a hefty “wedding fee” that’ll outweigh any savings you had. It’s worth looking into because you could find a rare gem but beware, the sticker shock is real.

View Quoted Comment Some AirBnBs might do this. Many have rules against parties so you'll have to check with them individually.

(Sorry double post)
Oh! What about a bed and breakfast? Most allow you the option to book the entire inn for weddings. Your guests could sleep there, you could celebrate the whole evening. You might be able to cook there with innkeeper’s permission.
We considered this option but it was outside our budget. It might be worth looking into for your wedding though.

The bed and breakfast is probably your best bet here. It can check off all the boxes!

Will the weather be warm enough to do something outdoors? Maybe a family members house with a large yard or a aren’t a Pavillion in a city park.

I wonder if camp sites do it too ?

I’m gonna have to check out the airbnbs!!!!

We had our welcome dinner at the North Tahoe Regional Park Ramada. It's a covered picnic area that seats 100 people with BBQ areas and running water and electricity. We had a catering company deliver food, but there is definitely enough space to have a cooking party. Of course, you'll need separate lodgings!

Most venues with kitchens only let caterers use their kitchen to heat up food, they do not permit actual cooking. Do you mean cook food for the wedding, or cook food for yourself for meals that don't occur during wedding time? You'll find that most people strongly discourage self catering. You could always get a food truck or a taco cart in a park. You'd need a permit, but that is a cheaper option

Sounds like you are looking for my venue but it’s in the middle of California not the location you mentioned.

View Quoted Comment Where was your location located at ?!

View Quoted Comment It was near Yosemite. There’s about 5 cabins in it that can fit a good amount of people not all my guests were able to fit in it but I got the majority of them there the place isn’t considered a venue so there’s no restrictions like most places you can bring almost anything you want stay up as long as you want and make as much noise as you want there’s a decent size kitchen where my family cooked for rehearsal dinner and the morning after for breakfast. It was amazing I also noticed your theme is kinda rustic and that place is perfect for a rustic theme which was my theme as well

View Quoted Comment What is the name of the place and are they reasonably priced and can you have a dj there ?

View Quoted Comment Yup! The only down side to that place is you have to provide everything yourself so you need to find all your vendors separately including DJ not sure what you count as reasonable price we payed 11 thousand for just that place and spent a bunch more on other vendors
