We are planning a wedding for this October, and it's going to be a very laid-back affair. The ceremony is at a local winery that has an outdoor shelter area--the rental is $250 and includes tables and chairs. After a finger food reception there (using a local caterer recommended by the winery who is costing less than $5/person), we're having an after-party at a local music venue. Some friends are our band for both ceremony and party, so they gave us a deal on their fee. The venue is going to let us buy a keg at their cost, and if anyone wants anything harder, they can buy it. The venue rental is $500 and includes bartender, sound guy for the music, and a security person. Dinner is catered bbq and sides.

All it took was some checking around and just asking at some of the places we already love and frequent. You'd be surprised at what will work out if you are already a valued customer.
