Which way do i go ?

Hey Family another conundrum, I’ve switched from having my wedding in downtown Orlando because expenses were too high. Then I switch to having it in Hawaii on the beach( I’m from Hawaii, so my family could help out) but Hawaii, seems like an unnecessary headache since I live in Florida. So then I planned to just have the wedding reception in my cousins back yard (which is about .75 an acre), so that just leaves me with the ceremony and the cost for that. However, these venue prices are ridiculous, even here in Melbourne Florida venues are proudly displaying that if you book your event in 2022 it’s $500 less than if your event is in 2023(like this something to be proud of) my question is, as much as I don’t want to, should I do my ceremony and my reception in my cousins back yard ? How low rent would that seem ?
