I'm just starting to try and plan my wedding and I'm already getting overwhelmed. I just want to do something small for a price that will not break the bank but in my area that is almost impossible.

Some sites require you to have at least 100 to 175+ people otherwise they won't even talk to you. Then there are others that will accept smaller parties but the price per person is at least $80 or more. Some are $140 and up

I have found one site in my area that sounds like a good deal. Here's their site Stonecroft. They offer a nice alternative to the whole overdone reception idea. They give you the ability to have your ceremony onsite and a nice dinner afterwards.  Still have to get around to calling to make an appointment to see what the costs will actually end up being. Hopefully it will be as affordable as I am hoping it will be.

I'm also trying to come up with ideas as to what to do for the Honeymoon. There are just way too many options and I don't even know where to start. I'm not sure if we want to go right after the wedding or if we want to do it at a later point in time. Going to a tropical island sounds nice, but then I look at how much it costs and I have no clue where to get the money for it.

I'm starting to think about a week in Washington DC, many places to see and at least its a close enough drive to where we live, but then trying to find a nice hotel in the area is already becoming ehausting. I found one I liked, but now I can't even remember which one it was. I tried searching for available rooms around the time we were planning, and there was nothing available. Who can go wrong with in room dining available 24hrs.

Between work and all this planning I'm already stressed and I haven't even started. I'll post moreonce I start solidifying the plans.

If theres anyone out there thats been through this before and has some advice I'd love to hear it.
