Last night, Jesse and I sat down to look over the menus for the Hotel Phillips, and after doing the math, we figured out that having the reception there would cost us a minimum of $20,000 - $25,000. That's just for room rental, food, and drinks.
Yeah, I'm thinking that might not work out. Unless I decide to wear jeans instead of a dress, pick some widlflowers for my bouquet, and have people take pictures with their digital cameras and send them to me later via e-mail. Oh, and we can all hum songs as we dance instead of having a DJ. And we'll be eating my famous brownies (from a box mix!) instead of an actual wedding cake, but I'm sure I can figure out how to make that work between now and the actual wedding date.
No. Maybe not. I'm kinda looking forward to wearing a really pretty dress...
HOWEVER, I do intend on reserving a block of rooms there for the wedding, depending on where we wind up for the ceremony and venue of course. In October this year, their basic room prices are at $129, which is totally reasonable when compared to other hotels in the area, and it's such a lovely little place.
I'm going to keep tweaking it to see how I can/if I can get it to work out, but it really might not come together. It'd take a LOT of extra planning to get it there (and a LOT of cutting of the guest list, too), so I really don't think it'd be worth it in the end. We'll see...
