My FH and I have a reception budget of $6000 and we are in Bolingbrook, Illinois. We are paying for our entire wedding ourselves. And don't have the ability to get help for it financially. We have contacted a good 95% of locations in an hour radius of us that include: restaurants and halls. All have around the same cost per person of around $75 and up. And all have people minimums as well as food and beverage minimums. A weekday, Friday or Sunday wedding isn't an option. We don't want to take out a loan to afford a wedding. Our guest count isn't set in stone. We would like 120 but would be open to going to 50. Not sure where to go from here. We can't find a place we can afford. Please help!!
