GETTING MARRIED

Hi Beverly,

I would suggest a backyard wedding perhaps. Or maybe you know someone who lives on a lake somewhere that would be happy to volunteer their yard. I don`t know about spending under $500, but you can get close. You can go to a local party rental store and see if they have tents and tables and chairs. I would be your preference whether you would like seat covers or not. I know dance floors could get expensive though so perhaps the grass or a deck would be suitable. Of course you could always look at a fire hall or a ambulance hall. They usually have their own tables and chairs and will assist with the "put together" and "take down." I must warn you, however that feeding 150 people can get quite expensive...that is a large number of people. I would check with the local caterers in the area and see if their prices are reasonable as well.........if not perhaps you can ask people you know to cook......I know that it may not be easy to ask your friends to cook, but I am just exploring options. Best of luck to you and if I can help you my e-mail address is indicated below. Thanks!!!
