where to have wedding?

I do believe you are right, to a point.\n\nIt WAS traditional for the wedding to be held in the Bride's hometown, but that was back when the bride was purchased.  Back then, the Groom's family would come to the Bride's home, pay the price for her, hold the ceremony so her family could see that everything was legal, then they'd take her with them and she'd likely never see her family again...\n\nI doubt this old tradition continues for the same reasons in most of the world anymore.\n\nSo, you two need to discuss the pros and cons and come up with an agreement based on your individual situations.  Claiming "tradition" in this case is kind of silly...

Depends on what you want really!\nI am planning mine at the moment, so we can learn together! I am having it at a register office. I had to call to book an appointment with the superintendant registrar. They asked me when I wanted to get married and booked it over the phone! Next week we have to take our passports and proof of address to the register office to prove we haven't been married before.\nWe are having the reception at a local pub owned by a friend, and the flowers I am doing. I am buying silk flowers I can keep forever. My friends are making food so we can have a big huge buffet!\nGood luck with your wedding, get in touch with your wedding date if you need any more help!!

Lots of places rent out space for wedding receptions: churches, fire halls, restaurants.... Look in the phone book. If it advertises they have room for banquets, they have room for weddings...

Well, I don’t know the Detroit area, so I'm not sure where good areas or bad areas are, and I couldn’t find anything that was very cheap.  Here’s what I did find (some are just in the Detroit area).  You may have a hard time finding something for that many people that allows outside catering.  Good luck and congratulations!\n\nSheraton on 21111 Haggerty Rd. in Novi - (248) 349-6377 – might be more expensive, but it has the space and allows outside catering\nU of M Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor - http://sitemaker.umich.edu/mbgna - (734) 998-7061 - This is smaller, 150 max, but it’s a little cheaper; you’ll probably have to call for info, I didn’t see anything about weddings on the website\nLighthouse Point in St. Ignace - http://www.lighthousepte.com - This is outdoors, can accommodate a lot of people, and isn’t supposed to be too expensive -  if you’re interested in it, call and ask about the prices, because the website only lists certain packages\nOak Arbor Church & Banquet Facility in Rochester - http://web.oak.mi.schoolwebpages.com/weddings - This can hold up to 250 people; they have a list of “preferred” caterers, and you might be able to get someone else approved; it’s not too expensive, but I'm not sure of exact prices\nShenandoah Country Club in West Bloomfield - http://www.shenandoahcountryclub.com/banquestfacilities.htm - This is big, but might be more expensive than you’re looking for – call or e-mail and check on it, though\nMarriot at Centerpoint in Pontiac OR Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center – Probably more expensive, but prices aren’t listed – they are big, though, and allow outside catering\nYou can also check out these websites:\nhttp://detroit.allwedding.com/reception%5Flocations/\nhttp://www.mywedding.com/wed/detroit-reception-facilities.html\nhttp://www.eventstarters.com/listings/public/showPros.do?vendorCategoryName=Locations&stateName=Michigan\n\nHere’s some websites for DJ’s:\nhttp://www.wedj.com/wedjcom.nsf/usalinks!open&S=MI&M=Detroit&V=DJ\nhttp://www.mannymixx.com/\nhttps://www.gigmasters.com/RNB/RNBSinger_Detroit_MI.asp

Who are you writing this question for USC??? According to your profile, and wedding website, you are your fiance have been married for a while. Having another wedding in '07??\n\nI would really like to know where you are having your wedding...there are not a lot of places that can hold 500 people for a cocktail hour and a sit down reception. I am always looking to add to my list of reception sites...feel free to email me.

Yes, we chose the beach, specifically Key West, Florida.  Keep the wedding simple!  The easiest way is to look for a resort or hotel who handles the planning for you.  Since you aren't in the location of the wedding, it's nice to have someone local arranging for any vendors (photographers, flowers, etc) that you want.  Also, a resort will offer a back-up location in case of bad weather.  To save money, keep the number of guests down.  You can have an intimate wedding!  Also, you won't need a lot of flowers and decorations because the setting will already be beautiful.  Congrats and happy planning!

I have listed some locations down below--I don't know where they are in reguards to you--I know there weren't that many to choose from. I tried looking on http://www.theknot.com but they didn't even have any listed for Arkansas. Try browsing around http://www.weddingchannel.com for more ideas on things in your area.\n\nAnother idea is to visit golf clubs and see if they have any banquet areas or even try local hotels (usually large chains such as Hilton etc.)

In the backyard of my house with a big white tent set up and tiki torches all over the yard and colorful lanterns hanging from the tree. And a band playing all night long to the 100 or so guests invited. =) That's the way our wedding is planned so far.

My cousin got married in a beautiful orange grove in Orange County.  I don't know the name of it, but I'm sure you could use the general idea to look for places.

I think it depends on your budget but there a lot of beautiful hotels in NYC. I would just look around at a few and see if any look suitable for your wedding. Good luck!

First Congratulations\n\nFind out everywhere it is legal\nAsk your friends who have got married where they were married\nIf you have no married friends then try your local gay association, they are bound to have a list of places where it is nice and where you will be treated nicely

outdoor weddings are always cool. Especially on spring and summer time. but it depends on where you live of course. if you live in a country that has a perfect spring and summer like mine then prefer outdoor. hope everything will be ok.. :)

No not at all. You can get married there then go out and celebrate with family and friends. Ask your family and friends if everybody would donate a dish and drinks. Figure out a nice place to celebrate. Good luck.

How about going Downtown to Millennium Park. I see a lot of couples go there to take wedding photos.
