The whole idea is to be creative. The cost of weddings can be outrageous. Lets talk, there are so many ideas that can make your wedding and reception memorable and within your budget!
Some venues you may not have thought about--parks at sunrise or sunset, Phoenix Zoo, many local parks have small lakes or any of the local lakes, most of the country clubs have beautiful areas that are
suitable for weddings and receptions.
Bookman's Used Books in Mesa actually
has a room for free that can be used but you do need to reserve ahead!
(you can go online and do that)
A beautiful venue that has everything included except the Bride
and Groom is The Casa at the Ranch.
