Help- Need affordable wedding venues under 1.5k

Hello! I am using the venue Pioneer Florida museum & village for both my ceremony and reception in Dade City not too far from Tampa. You could definitely do 50 people there for far less that 1500. I searched all over and this place is magical. This place works perfectly for my rustic theme and my budget of 5000. I think any of the grounds or buildings are like 250 if I recall correctly except the main barn (very nice inside) which is 500. Chairs and tables come with every building/grounds except the barn but they are lower end priced. There are obviously a few other fees here and there but all in all it only adds up to about 1200 for me. Feel free to message me for any ideas about staying under budget. good luck!

I wouldn't even waste your time for hotels. Hotels are $100++ PP (not including liquor) for the base level and that's going to put you over your budget.

Look for recommendations on local facebook pages, Event halls, civic centers, VFW Halls. There may be some barn type venues too. Consider a Friday wedding to save money. I looked at several places in tampa and all were over $15K for 75 people.

Our budget is also 5k. We are marrying at Leu Gardens (Orlando) and having a brunch reception at Maggianos. Comes to about 3k total for 70 guests. Maybe you can look for garden sites in your area...or a park. How big is your guest list?

Try celebrations I believe they are an all inclusive hall

Hello Marcia!
if you don’t mind sharing where you eventually booked that would be great! I am looking in the same area and price range.
