| They rent out a huge venue (i.e. Union Station). |

Why do you say that? |

| They have it at home, in their yard. Seriously, that’s one thing rich & LMC people both do. |

| If they’re Catholic, at their family/childhood parish. |

| A question for the “elite” party planners. If you wanted a true near Michelan star dinner, is there a max number of guests for that to be successful? |

| Meridian House, Perry Belmont House, a museum, DAR, Anderson House. But renting one of those places is just the beginning. You’ll need to hire caterers, and rent tables, linens, plates etc on top the regular expenses like flowers, band, etc. $200,000 would probably go quick. |

Decautur House courtyard. It’s gorgeous, but not fancy pants. And obviously the location. Another good one to look at might be Anderson House. Meridian, also. Don’t worry about the venue yet, the main thing you need to do is find a great planner. That’s really the anchor. |

| Park Hyatt or any other nice hotel. |

Because wealthy people live in estate-level homes that are typically excellent wedding venues. Poors have their weddings in the back yard because they have no other options. They are NOT the same reasons. Unless you live on estate or at least 3 acres AND have space to park 80-100 cars for 150 guests plus catering/hospitality staff, plus either a commercial grade and capacity kitchen (or room for a dozen hot racks) and parking for catering trucks, plus room for tents outside, power or space for generators to handle lighting and other needs, then you shouldn’t be having a wedding at home. |
