planning a sept wedding and need a nice space for a ceremony and 60 people to eat and dance after.
why are venues charging $5k for their field with hay bales to sit on, or $18k for a building with bathrooms but you bring your own everything else.
I found one brewery that's $2k with tables and chairs and I'm waiting for a reply - I think it'll be really nice when it's all said and done. but I can't put all my eggs in one basket, I need another option to look at for a DIY spaceñ
does anyone have a space that my fiance and I can come look at?
Would ideally be Fraser Valley: between Delta & aldergrove inc Pitt and Maple Ridge.
I have catering, bartender, dj all sorted. I can rent tables, chairs etc
- just need a space with a roof and floor (ideally in case it rains) for the reception
- a nice backdrop for a ceremony
- space for people to park
- bonus if you have a bathroom (but I can arrange that too for the right venue price)
I want to be under $10k all in - venue, food, flowers, photos, coordinator, dj etc.
we're looking at a golf course tomorrow for $9800 inc food but we can't bring all our desserts, and if you know me - dessert is more important than the meal.
and that $9800 doesn't include photos, flowers, etc - so it'll be more like $14k.
