I mentioned before, and you probably already know, weddings are ridiculously expensive. Elopement parties, however, are much more affordable. We shopped around reception halls (whoa---$$$) and art galleries (prices really jumped around) and LeMieux was the best deal, so we booked it! It was a great open space with a back room for the caterers and speakers for our iPod hook-up. (Not having a band saved us thhhoouuusssaaannnndddsss.)
We had delicious food catered from a restaurant and bakery right outside of New Orleans. New Orleans has delicious (delicious, delicious, delicious!) food. Buuuttt when you're feeding over a 100 people, it can get pricey quick! We also purchased our own drinks and hired a bartender for way less (like 20 times cheaper) than an open bar at a reception hall.
It was really great having so many of our friends and family at our party. If we had a "real" wedding, there would have been no way (zip, nada, zilch), that we could have afforded to invite as many people.
