[quote=Anonymous]First tip: don't book it as a wedding. Find a less known hotel and begin the conversation as a family party. Check out the Marriott in north Bethesda/Rockville. An open bar will kill your budget (I coordinate a few national summits at DC hotels each year for business--including evening receptions). You can work with the venue to limit the options to beer, wine and soda to keep costs more reasonable. Once you open it to mixed drinks, it's $$$$. Another option: cash bar for mixed drinks. I'm sure I'll get slammed, but I think that's fine as long as you offer free beer, wine and soda. Using the hotel pastry chef will likely be cheaper than getting a wedding cake from an outside vendor. Don't go overboard on flowers. Brunch is cheaper than dinner, but a brunch wedding isn't the big evening dance party you're likely envisioning. Cut the guest list and use a restaurant venue. [/quote]
