To piggyback off of this: I got married at an American Legion in Plymouth. For $1800, we got a room overlooking a pond (we would have gotten married on the beach if it didn't rain), seats up 180, a full kitchen, two bartenders, and plenty of parking.

The next cheapest place we looked was a golf course at $7500.

The money we saved we put toward an extra photographer and great catering.

No one remembers the place. Everyone remembers the fun, food, and photos
