[quote=Anonymous]My SO and I are debating (1) a small family only wedding early this summer (would be a destination like wedding for almost all guests) (2) a DC party where we invite plenty of family and friends but either do a family only ceremony the night before or do a very quick ceremony in the event space (without any walking down the aisle, wedding party, etc.) to kick off a night of drinks, food (nothing sit down but more than light passed aps), and dancing or (3) eloping.

In my ideal world, we'd go for #3.  But it will involve some potentially upset family members and I know my SO would actually like something more official.  Two initially seemed like the next most simple until we started to talk details.  In short, I've always used "I don't want to be worrying about flowers" as a shorthand for explaining that I don't want to spend months planning the details of an event (and walking down an aisle in a poofy dress is my worst nightmare).  So we settled on trying to find a gallery like space to use for what would be just a glorified party.  But then last night I found myself saying "of course we'll need to figure out things like getting tables delivered and flowers!" Argh!!  I know the alternative it to go with a place (like a hotel) where we just choose vendors, but that doesn't quite go with the mellow non-traditional wedding atmosphere we'd like.

SO ... any ideas on a venue that might be able to handle most of the details but won't be stuffy or too traditional wedding like?  If not, ideas for a simple, fun, but not eloborate way for us to pull this off?  (A side note is that unless we do the family only #1 we'd like to do this in early to mid April as we are currently trying to get pregnant and that is the number one priority)[/quote]
