All in all, we found and have officially rented out a venue! You won't believe the cost! $400! What is included you ask??
The Carriage House (seats 80)
I love it! It's simple and cute. The inside has beautiful hard wood floors with a stone fireplace to the side. And the walls are part green and part cream color which ties in perfect with the theme of a fall wedding!
Inside the Carriage House:
~ Kitchen with crushed ice maker, full fridge, stove/oven, sink, and counter space
~ Man and Woman's bathroom
~ Stone Fireplace
~ Dressing Room

The furniture in the dressing room is donated furniture, so we will have to bring in chairs and a full length mirror. I have to say that I LOVE the little dresser!
100 White Wooden Chairs!!
I had toyed with the idea of using hay bales as seating for the actual ceremony, but, after speaking with Kenny, we decided against the idea. His main argument was the comfort of our guests, which I completely understand. However, trying to plan a budget wedding when chairs alone range from $1 to $4 per chair is difficult. So needless to say, we were super excited about this! 100 white wooden chairs, 80 metal chairs, round and rectangular tables to seat all of the guests INCLUDED in the $400!?!
And can you believe there is more?!
Right in front of the Carriage House is a grassy area with an arch, gazebo, and large absolutely, gorgeous tree!
Clearly, it was set up perfectly for the actual ceremony, but I would rather use this space for the reception. I imagine using large, bulb string lights to light up the arch and gazebo while stringing lights overhead to illuminate the entire reception. Just imagine white table cloths under the lights with various sizes of mason jars with tea light candles in all of them. A candlelit dinner.
My main concern here is the cost of lights.
As far as the ceremony goes, we want to have it in an open field on the property. Technically, the Carriage House is a piece of a public park that we are renting out, however, because the park is public, we can still have the wedding anywhere on the grounds we wish. I can definitely imagine our wedding in a field with simple white chairs set up in rows.
(fyi: I took the pictures on a rainy/misty day.)
All in all, the venue and date is set. With $600 left, we now need to figure out the rest. Just thinking of what all has been yet to be finished gives me a headache. We have made some headway on various other things such as party favors, food, and attire, but this update will all have to wait until next time.
Good night everyone and have a great Friday night!
