Wedding tip of the day : save on drinks

Make sure the staff knows not the clear the table of glasses that are not empty! Majority of the time a guest leaves half a drink at the table to get up and dance and they come back to, well no glass! Immediately they go to the bar and order a new one. Bar tabs will go down a bit if half empty glasses weren't removed. Let the wait staff know ahead of time not to clear ANY glasses unless they are empty! 

Wedding tip of the day: Ideas for a smaller wedding

For a smaller guest count, check out a local bed and breakfast.

most will accommodate for the ceremony to be held on site as well as the reception. You can cut on transportation cost being that everything including lodging can be in the same place.

A lot I'd bed and breakfasts in rural VA (Leesburg. Etc) also have nice honey moon suites.
