Location, location, location

I've had a bit of a shock trying to find a location for our wedding.

$4,000 for a venue ... not including food or drink.

WHAT?

I see how it would be so great to have everything taken care of ... but sheesh. 

I could *(ALMOST)* buy EVERY single item in an Anthropologie catalog for that much.

SO ... it looks like we're going with this little place:

Inside: 

Balcony:

It's only a couple hundred to rent ...

BUT.

It's kind of ...

Intimate? Cozy?

Or just plain small. 

If the weather is nice, there's expansive grounds, picnic tables, even a little playground nearby.

BUT. IF it's crappy outside, we are going to be doing it sardine-style.
