Illinois is a pretty big state...it takes like 10 hours to drive from top to bottom so we really need to know what area you are in.

there is a really nice one at the howard Johnsons right near the 401 and Markham, my dads wedding reception was in there. There is also a real nice spot at in the plaza on the north west corner of Markham and Kingston Rd. (sorry i dont remember the name of this one) .

Maybe, you want to decide first as to whom you want to be at the wedding (families, friends, etc.) because with the economy, I don't really think that everyone will be able to afford to go to a location wedding. Find a local area that matches closest to what type of weddng you're dreaming of (garden wedding, beach resort, theme park, etc.), and save the real location (hawaii, cayman islands, etc.)for the honeymoon. Good luck.

Try:\nhttp://www.saultstemarie.org/\n\nSearch their businesses for "wedding." There are a few listed who rent tuxes, etc, they certainly would have information on chapels, etc.

Conduct a search for "Illinois Campgrounds" on yahoo.  I did to try to give you a specific website, but there are a "butt load" of sites.  Best you choose for yourself.

If you want a nice place in the piney woods then you should head to Walden Texas. i go there every summer to play golf there. It is so much fun. They even have the hardest hole in Texas if you want a challenge. The hole playes into a lake with a dog leg right with water on both sides of the green. It is also home of lake conroe. There is fishing and fireworks there too if u can hang for the New Year. Plus you can rent boats. By the way did i say that it was very cheap. Around 500 for a family of 3. later

I would suggest asking people you know if they can recommend a wedding coordinator.  If all else fails, you can do an internet search or look in the phone book.\n\nCongrats and good luck!

Outside weddings. Me and my wife got married beside a river on some property my parents own. It was great and it was free, except for the Pastor. Plus then if you have people you don't want to invite but feel it is necessary to invite them, maybe they won't come because it is outside and they won't want to have to sit out in the sun. Worked on my grandma, she's crazy.

My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  It was fantastic and I'd recommend it 100%.  We worked with Eva and Michael, a married couple who have been planning weddings for 15 years in PV (their excellent website is www.vallartaweddings.net).  She's from the area and knows all of the best vendors; he's Canadian; they both speak perfect English so nothing gets "lost in translation."  We emailed with them back and forth for about 6 months planning the details--for example, I said I wanted a bouquet of tropical flowers and Eva emailed me 8 pictures to get a better idea--I chose 1 of them, and the bouquet arrived at my hotel the day of the wedding.  They took care of ALL of the details and I had a completely stress-free wedding--all for a total of less than $2,000, which is unbelievably less than you'd pay in the States - that included the entire ceremony set-up, flowers, musician, photographer, and officiant, plus all the paperwork to make it legal.  They also recommended hotels for my family to stay in the area, plus worked with a local restaurant to plan the meal for our reception.\n\nThe city of PV is fantastic too--people there speak enough English that non-Spanish people won't have any problems at all.  There's a ton to do there--fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sight-seeing, and tons of shopping.  It's on the beach, so many people just relaxed as well.  There are a ton of places to stay, from good budget hotels downtown to luxury all-inclusives on the beach.  Plus, weddings in Mexico are recognized as legal in the US, so there's no red tape to go through.\n\nGood luck!
