Me and my fiancé have to pay for our entire wedding. Both of our families don't have a lot of money so we are trying to make everything work. I have no clue what venue we could get for this price when my budget for the entire wedding is less than $1000. We will have about 75 to 100 people. We just bought a house so money's tight and we also have a 7 month old. I just wish I could afford a nice wedding for the most part places charge at least 50pp and that's way over our budget. i wish I knew someone with a big yard/house I would just get married there! If anyone has any tips or advice that would be great. Thanks so much!

Agreed with everyone else, wait and save.
My venue alone was $8,000, and that was the cheapest venue I could find, outside of a park.
It wasn't the ceremony that cost us, it was the reception. Unless you just take people to a restaurant and skip literally everything else, you're going to be paying more than $1,000.
You have the rest of your life to be married! Wait and save!!!

A wedding under $1000 is doable but you will have to drastically cut the guest list. My wedding was just under $500, we had 4 guests.
