I think the best place for you to call is the Courtyard at Mariott in Baton Rouge.  If you are looking for something condo/house style, they are upstairs and downstairs two bedroom suites with a balcony, full kitchen, etc. and very nice.

Believe it or not, I typed LSU Wedding into Yahoo's search engine, and found a website, LSU Dining, that contains wedding menus and wedding packages:\nhttp://appl003.lsu.edu/cas/lsudining.nsf/$Content/Wedding+Packages?OpenDocument\n\nYou might contact the school itself and ask how they handle proms, formal dances, fancy events, etc, and then plan your wedding accordingly.\nhttp://appl003.lsu.edu/cas/lsudining.nsf/$Content/Contact+Us?OpenDocument\n\nHere's someone who actually had an LSU-themed wedding!\nhttp://www.lsu.edu/ambassadors/about/advisor.htm\n\nAnd more:\nhttp://tigerpages.com/espnlsuwedding.html\nhttp://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/marriagemadness/bracket\nhttp://tigerpages.com/\n\nI've even found an LSU wedding plate!\nhttp://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-JRivers1/Detail.bok?no=41\n\nYour wedding colors can be the school colors, which seem to be purple and gold.  Also, you can find metallic confetti of different sports--football, basketball--and/or of the school, and sprinkle them on your tables.  Can you hire a music arranger to create a waltz version of LSU's fighting song or alma mater for you and your intended to dance to?\n\nHave little LSU flags on the tables.  Trim the cake--trim, not paint!--in purple and gold, with the traditional white base.  Create a metallic version of LSU's flag to put on the wall (or is that too tacky?).\n\nPut Sports Wedding on a search engine and see what you find!\n\nAnyway, it's your wedding.  Have fun!\n\nP.S.  Send a portion of your monetary gifts for Hurricane Katrina relief.

Keep it simple. \n\nThe Venue - you can have this outdoors with a markee or hire out one of your favourite cafes. \n\nThe dress - find a dress you love and get a dress maker to copy it. You can buy the material yourself to even reduce the costs. \n\nThe food & drinks - you buy the alcohol and pick a nice red and white wine with champagnes for toasting. Pick two beers for the boys make one a light. Finger food is a great option do you know a friend or take away/cafe that maybe able to help out.\n\nFlowers - get them from the market fresh the day before and put a relo in charge or helping arrange. Don't ask them for a gift just tell them their help is enough!\n\nCake - surely one of your relo's makes a great fruit cake. If so you can get a cake shop to put icing on top to match your dress material. \n\nCars - you only need two cars, see what resources you have a use two cars in the family. Otherwise hire two cars for the day this is so much cheaper than wedding car hire.   \n\nPool all your resources together, people are so willing to help. Just say to them not to buy a gift in return for their help this will be appreciated and you will find that they will still want to give you a token.

Contact the local chapter of the Red Cross or St Vincent De Paul Society or the Salvation Army, ASAP.  Most of these organizations can assist you in finding emergency housing based on your situation.  Good Luck and God Bless!

Hold the wedding/reception at a local park. Not sure what Maymont or or others charge in the area. Check with the park & rec departments of each county/city.

My save the date cards just said "Save the Date! T & J are getting married on *" and then I put an extra slip of paper in each envelope that gave the airport to fly into, car rental company phone numbers, and two hotels where I had blocks of rooms held. I also listed the address of the ceremony and reception location so they could search for their own hotels, if they wanted. I also included our wedding website (from theknot.com) and my email so they could get more info.

First pick a day! then find you Pastor,Justice of the pease,Who ever you are going to have Marry you! That is usually the hardest part to get set.Make sure they are available the day that you want. Marrige license tend to expire within 60 days I think so figure that into the day you have set with your "Pastor".Week days are cheeper if your going for an inside wedding/reception.Out side is even cheeper. We did out side.Do you have or want a theme? Example: Hawaiian Theme go to Oriental Trading on line,it is a part/novelty company they have tons of party supplys in bulk. Based on you theme/ colors what kind of dress. In our wedding that was the most expencive.My bride's maids agreed to buy there own dresses,they actually had fun picking out matching dresses. We bought shirts for the Grooms men (We Know Guys)If you want it done right do it your self. and who knows what they would have came back with! any way...\nCake I did my own cake. 3 teirs white and chocolate. White frosting.My frosting recipe(feel lucky!) Mix powdered sugar and unsalted butter and only a table spoon of vanilla with about a cup of milk.Awsome frosting!The rest could be purchased at a rental place near you based on how much you are ready to spend. A big rental place is usually good about helping with number of guests and how far you can go on your budget. This is all if you choose to do an out doors wedding.\nHopefully I have been helpful. If you need any more advice e-mail me brudneyflower@yahoo.com

Alot of places that hold receptions regularly will probably gladly accept your reservations now.  If I were you I would try and make the reservations as early as possible, so that nobody else will take the same date as you.  Places like fire departments and such with reception halls are probably the same way.  It couldn't hurt to do it early and then it's taken care of.

I'm from the Tampa area originally, and I can't really think of anything that isn't outside that is inexpensive.  If it is just going to be a small wedding, maybe you or a friend has a backyard that you could use?  You could rent a party tent in case it rains.  Sometimes, local parks allow weddings.  My aunt and uncle got married at Manatee Co's historical park.

Go to roomates.com, ask relatives or ask at church if you go to one. I wish you good luck.

I just finished planning a long island wedding and girl do I feel your pain. Very expensive!  It depends on how many people your going to invite and to be honest, maybe doing it at home is the best idea if you have the space.  There is the polish american club in port jeff that is very affordable to rent out, the setauket house which is very nice and some what affordable http://www.setauketneighborhoodhouse.com/  Renting a hall and catering food with decorations and everything is probably going to cost you at least 2000 making your own food will help a lot.  Good luck! and Congrats!
