This is primarily for the couples who, like us, are paying for the entire wedding themselves. I need advice and ideas, pretty please! My partner and I live in NYC, so there's no way in heck we were going to drop literal tens of thousands of dollars for one day. That's insanity, and we can't afford that. So, we found a venue a ways away that's far more affordable and is mostly inclusive (food, decorations, etc are baked into the cost).
