[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP: thanks for some great suggestions. Even w/$10,000 venue (only) cost know that many of these exceed it. Hoping to keep budget truly all in to $35K.

And the Annapolis and Baltimore destinations are too far.

My DD called last night thinking maybe we look at a backyard (tented/dance floor etc.) Having a year to plan for and as a designer/being known as for throwing a good party etc -  the problem I see with that is the neighbors/noise and having to shut down fun so early so I’m hoping the places I’m unfamiliar with are options.

Realistically, you’re going to have a very hard time booking an in-town DC wedding for 150 people (assuming a Saturday date with dinner and an open bar) for under $50,000 these days.  I suggest you start talking to your daughter about where she might be willing to save (fewer guests?  Picking a Friday date?  A brunch reception?  Beer/wine only?) and what splurges really matter to her.  I say this from experience...you can easily spend $75k on a wedding in DC that is not at all over the top or excessive-looking.[/quote]
