Are you for real? I honestly had no clue about that little rule myself since I'm not exactly an expert on church protocol. And man, even the local officials charge you a fortune if you're dreaming of an outdoor wedding. A close friend of mine from NYC was getting married recently, and she had to pay the officiant an insane amount $2000 just to step out into nature maybe fifty yards away from the actual government office to say their vows 😲...it’s honestly wild how they operate

Michelangelo's Gallery.
Michelangelo's Castle.
Villa California.
The Park Hyatt has a beautiful garden, but they probably have a curfew around midnight.
The San Antonio Hotel in Malibu has a beach.
If you're looking for a cheaper option, Joe's restaurant in Malibu might let you set up tables in the lower area right on the beach.
As an alternative to all that, you could, I don't know, rent a big excursion boat and cruise through the San Francisco/Catalina Island channel while dinner is happening.
Etc.
Thanks! I'll definitely weigh all these options, especially since having a smaller group sounds way more my style anyway. 🙂
Hey everyone! So, I’ve been daydreaming about doing something a bit more modern—you know, that classic American vibe with a guest list of maybe 100 people... does anyone have any advice or maybe some experience with a wedding like that?? I’m really leaning towards getting married outdoors, like just a beautiful ceremony out in a meadow or a field—totally inspired by those dreamy American weddings where you bring a minister out to the site and everything is just perfectly styled with ribbons, flowers, and all that aesthetic goodness. Now, the big question is, how much does it actually cost to have an officiant come out to a remote spot? And what kind of locations should I even be looking at? The only thing popping into my head right now is somewhere like Manhattan 😕
.
Also, can anyone suggest some venues or restaurants that can host up to 100 people and have either a pool or just a gorgeous garden without a pool?
A few girlfriends were telling me about the President in Atlanta, right near the pool—it sounds like it has a killer atmosphere and scenery, but I’m wondering how much they charge per seat... I’m guessing it’s pretty pricey 😲??
