Not sure if this is the right forum so mods feel free to move to the correct one if needed. It won't hurt my feelings.

My fiancee and I are currently doing the scouting work for our wedding in Spring next year. We want a small/intimate ceremony with close friends and family only along with a smaller reception with about 60-80 people.
Ceremony will probably be a maximum of 20 people.
I'm thinking ~$5000 budget for ceremony and dinner. Would prefer if its around ~$4000.

The nitty gritty of things is that we want a small venue for ceremony at a reasonable rental price. I mean, it's 20 people! So I guess it's ceremony then go to dinner at restaurant OR could be same spot as ceremony if their rates are reasonable. We don't really want to rent a hall or something similar to a reception. I think we'd rather go to a restaurant, book space for 60-80 and essentially treat everyone to dinner instead of the long-winded, wedding receptions that we've come to know and love.

We've checked out a few places and there are a few options so far but nothing really that stands out. I checked out a site called "goingtothechapel" and that one looked reasonable but so far that's the only option that looks good on the table.

Looking for suggestions for a venue for small wedding ceremonies and reception/restaurant. It's planned for March so i'll have to assume that it will be raining. Has anyone pulled off small weddings on a tight budget? Any pointers?
Thanks in advance!
