Small wedding

Definitely look for smaller venues or if you have an idea of where, starting looking for catering options if you want. Having a couple options like chicken, beef or pork is always good. Do you want to do a theme? Or just a color scheme? Do you want to take over the food yourself or have a family or friend that could instead? Grilled protein and a couple sides is fairly easy. A salad and a small dessert table.

We had our wedding at a restaurant that offered a wedding package. We are located in MA, our final guest count was 51 and it was semi-formal. Our final venue price was $5,700 including all fees/tips, a full open bar, stationed and passed hors d'oeuvres, 4 course dinner, full wedding cake with a 2nd dessert, beautiful outdoor ceremony site with arbor and chairs, reception tables/chairs and linens, centerpieces, champagne toast, bridal and groom suites, and day of coordinator.

Just be sure you check for guest count minimums and food/beverages guarantees. Small semi-formal weddings are absolutely possible!
