It's so exciting planning a wedding!! I had a LOT of fun planning mine with hubby. We did it fairly cheaply and we don't know bogloads of people (or have bogloads of close relatives) so we actually had only about 50 people at the wedding and reception. Twas nice and I actually got to talk to everyone!
We had our wedding and reception at the same place. Cuz of having the reception at a function room at the pub (really nice pub btw, not a shady pub lol) we got to use their Rotunda and gardens for ceremony and photos and it didn't cost any extra. They were fabulous. Perhaps something like that might be what you're looking for? We did a per head buffet as the meal/dessert at the reception and everyone paid for their own drinks. We had folks offer to put down a bar tab for us but I didn't want people having a free bar and thus feeling they HAD to drink themselves under the table. Making people pay for their own drinks tends to limit what they'll chug ;-)
Must be nice to have the heat. It's been really blah here in Brisbane and not hot at all lately! Mind you I saw Perth was getting 39 the other day and I don't quite want to swap with you :-P
