Hi All! Please help! I am working on locating an affordable venue for my sister in the New England area. I have contacted many many venues in the past few days and they are either way outside of the wedding budget (under 10k) or they are booked for her ideal date 10/10/2020. We would like to keep it in the south shore area but are willing to travel anywhere in a 2 hours driving distance. I have checked New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut but I am seriously struggling and feel that the longer I take to find a venue the more places will book up for her date due to it being a holiday weekend.
She is looking for someplace with an outdoor ceremony location and a reasonable reception hall. This is a relatively small wedding at 75 people maximum. It will probably be closer to 60 people. Originally we looked into hosting it in a field and renting everything needed but the cost of tent, tables, chairs, bartender, catering, bathrooms, and electricity just seemed to be too much however if you have done the "backyard style" or know of something similar to this please let me know! Rustic is the goal so barns and fields and parks are great options we just need a place that allows alcohol and music later in the evening.
Seriously any and all comments will help. Sorry for the long-winded post this is my first time using the site as a poster, although I have been all over looking it for venues!!
