Super small venue for less than 20 people?

Are considering destination or does it have to be in your area?

maybe someone from your area is on here if it's the later.........

Can I ask where you live? We also had a very small wedding. Everything I was finding at first was crazy expensive and more than what we were looking for. I expanded our search outside of our metro area. The smaller towns surrounding it had much better prices. We found a small country chapel and they charged us next to nothing. Good luck. I hope you find something.

Can you have your ceremony at the same location as your reception? If not, try chapels or a park?

How about a unitarian church? they are often more open and relaxed-

here's one that seems open to rentals-

We are having about the same amount of people at our ceremony and my FMIL is letting us do it at her house, since it will be so few people. They have a decent sized yard that will fit everyone, and it's free!!! =)

Check out b&bs, they usually can accommodate a small group

I've messaged and called several vendors on here, the lowest I've found is $1600, which I still feel is a little high for what we're looking for.

We're not very religious people and don't really want to get married in a chapel or a church, which is another issue we've found while looking for a venue. A park could work!

We live in Rochester, NY and Buffalo, NY. We would like to have the ceremony in Rochester, but are open to Buffalo. We will look in the smaller surrounding towns too.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Can't help you in your area, but I refer a bunch of little restaurants and B&B's in my area, so maybe you could look into that in your area?
