Finding the perfect venue

Hi Matt! How many guests are you thinking, and where in Washington??

If you want to serve a meal at the reception then I'd aim for an intimate guest list (since food & booze runs anywhere from $100-$250 per person), or you can invite more guests but host an afternoon or late evening cake & cocktails reception! WeddingWire's Wedding Cost Guide is an awesome resource on average wedding pricing you can use to help you figure out estimate costs.

Here are some venues in Washington to check out that have low starting rental rates:
