I found one that will do non-religious ceremonies and includes the officiant but it's pretty far from our reception venue and with the weather being so unpredictable that time of year we want to try and have them pretty close. We found this mansion place that does stuff like this. Gonna check it out next week probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also pay for all the vendors for me. And do it with their only payment being getting to come to the reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmod_Luna Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Mostly this is just another Athena Complains™ thread about how much shit goes into planning a wedding and it's too late to just do something really simple because I already put down a deposit for the reception venue also I kind of want something fancy even if I'll complain how hard it is every step of the way.

nameraka Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 we did it in my sister in laws back yard. catering by chick-fil-a only family and a few close friends invited. my dad was the minister. my wife's uncle provided the music. basically we just rented some chairs. total cost was about $1000. my advice would be to keep it simple.

That was the original plan but the thing is the reception is at a museum that's open to the public until 5. Private events don't start until 6. So if we did the ceremony there it would cut into the reception time and we'd have to miss our cocktail hour since we'd be taking pictures and stuff. We'd rather do the ceremony elsewhere and get a longer reception and have time to enjoy the cocktail hour. Gotta get those appetizers, yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg ur alive Anyway it's a bit late to do that for the reception venue <_< I wasn't planning on going too big for the rest of the stuff. Was thinking of just finding a place to do the DJ and photographer all in one just to save the stress of having to find multiple people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 11 hours ago, Athena 92 said: Ceremony venue - public park Officiant - get the paperwork done at a courthouse, do your own "ceremony" as a couple. You don't need some guy in a costume to say "hey, you guys love each other, so do this ritual for me." DJ - Waste of money. Get an Ipod, make a playlist for specific songs to play during the ceremony, then fill the rest of it with party music and stick it on shuffle for the rest of the night. Oh, you'll need a PA system too probably; still cheaper than a DJ. Photography - Camera phones, everybody has one. Lighting - I assume whatever building you intend to be in has a light switch or two? Flowers - just get a bunch of silk bouquets from a craft store. Again, probably cheaper than real flowers, especially if you keep the receipts and return them the next day. Dress/Tux - See if you can get one from somebody else. Makes no sense to spend a grand on a dress you're only going to wear once. Invitations - send out invites on facebook for free Cake - get a couple big icecream cakes from the DQ. Like, $30 each Hair/Make-up - I assume you have both already?
