Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are planning on getting married in May '22 and inviting 40 guests. We have a budget set and my dream venue fits within that budget, but there are two problems. 1. I'm having trouble justifying the high costs associated with weddings. Maybe it's just me, but why is renting a place so expensive? I can't thrift a venue. 2. This venue is about 35 minutes out of New Orleans and is a US destination wedding for us and family. Would it be too complicated logistically for guests? Half our guests live in Colorado and half live in South Carolina.
Thanks!
