Is anyone finding it hard to find a venue including everything besides food and photos for 2,000-$4,000? Found a few but they want you to pay like $9,000 for catering, please help.

    Hey, so my budget was $6000. I ended up at $7000. I also am having 75+ people so that adds to the majority of the cost of course. But it’s in Winter Haven. If you want to check it out, it’s called The Garden Ballroom.

    If you have a caterer in mind, ask what venues they’ve done weddings at.

    No problem! It sounds like a lot but that’s literally everything except photographer, bouquet, and liquor which I’ve also found if you need any assistance with any of those as well. Good luck!

    Thank you and congrats to you as well! But omg I was the same. It’s not impossible to stick to a low budget, but you’re definitely forced to think out of the box and/ or let go of some things.

    Is their a specific place in Florida your looking to be at ? I secured a venue in central Florida east coast side for a very reasonable price! Ceremony site and reception all at the site and for I’m having about 50-60 ppl but can accommodate more food and venue rental plus ceremony site is about 4K

    Thank you so much for responding. I’m looking from Orlando to Tampa area. Glad you found a place like that, we are currently at 120 guests and can’t go just anywhere.

    Where are you looking? And how many people are you planning for? Our venue is in the Keys and falls right in that budget for venue and catering (does not include photography or officiant)

    Try ranch barn weddings some of the barns are very elegant. And I think they tend to be cheaper and allow for you to bring in catering.
