Instead of getting married here, we're asking friends and family to join us at a vineyard in a small mountain town. Everything is more affordable (from per person food to lodging). Are there any sometimes overlooked towns near you? We live in Atlanta, Georgia, where weddings are not as expensive as they are in say, New York, but pricey nonetheless.

Just stumbled across your site (via Budget Savvy Bride), and I'm a Michigan bride, too! We haven't checked it out, but The Inn at Ferry Street (innonferrystreet.com/) looked nice online and seemed reasonable. I think they can only hold 150 people, but it might be worth a look. Good luck! :) Sara Hello! Just stumbled across your site (via Budget Savvy Bride), and I’m a Michigan bride, too!

That's before you even think about the cost of food. Plus, the mansion will only hold 100 people for a sit-down dinner inside. We'd have to have the reception under the tent. I to nervous about the weather to have it outside. For a smaller guest list, I think it would definitely work. It's just not for us. Hope that helps. Hey Brandi –

Maybe I'll save myself some hassle. I am in the EXACT same boat, 12K in the D! ;) I’m looking at the Motown Mansion right now…and I was curious as to why it wouldn’t work for you.
