I am getting very frustrated. We are on a rather small budget of $3,500 for the entire wedding. We keep getting responses from venues, saying that their pricing is almost all or above our budget! Average I am getting for just renting the space is over $2,500. To some, the pricing they are offering may not seem like a whole lot. But I cannot fathom spending that amount of money for a half day event (just my feelings, not judging others for their budgets!). We only have 40 people, including us. We are cutting cost every where that is possible (no flowers, FH is not renting a suit, my dress will be on sale, etc.).
We are struggling with making it happen.
