We hired a DJ and we're having an open bar but we get to supply all our own liquor at cost. Getting married in a park by the river (pictured) and then in a community hall for the reception.

Okay, the Cheapest Bride Ever To Be Seen On This Forum is about to chime in and horrify everyone. Just 'cause I'm in that kind of mood (and procrastinating on getting back to work).

- Definitely buffet. We're going very informal

- Limited bar - wine, beer, hard cider and a signature rum drink

- DJ if we can find a friend who will donate that service as a wedding gift (we have several professional DJs in our social circle ... I won't go in to *where* they DJ ...)

- Medium sized guest list (100-150 is what we are thinking)

- Budget per person is not actually a consideration. We will be providing the food and drink ourselves (with some supplemented food items provided by friends, kind of a semi-potluck), at a set budget, and when it is gone, it is gone.

- Location: Seattle, WA area (but not actually in the city)

Open bar? Limited bar? Cash bar (oh no)? Open bar, probably with two signature cocktails, still deciding on this one
