Location Hunt becomes Frenzied

So we made a budget for having our wedding at Letchworth State Park (which was my dream inspired by photos I'd seen on the internet). But the budget may not be affordable. We are still planning to go there for my birthday (July 6) and have our engagement photos taken there. But we're now brainstorming ideas for other places to get married.

The traditional places have not been exciting me, though I think we'll at least look at the Avanti Mansion just to give it a shot. Nick wasn't too excited by these places either, as most of them require us to use their catering service and Nick wants to be in charge of the food.

So then I got on this Frank Lloyd Wright kick. I emailed two Frank Lloyd Wright destinations in Buffalo, but neither of those places allow weddings. Falling Waters, which is my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright creation, allows weddings, but that's 4 hours away in Pennsylvania, so I think that's probably out.

I've also been thinking about outdoor city park spaces that might be nice, though Nick hasn't gotten too excited by this idea.

A comic book store would be almost perfect, but they are all *way* too small.

So the latest has been exploring possible art gallery or museum spaces. At least one advertises that they're available for rental, but I'm not sure how many people could fit in that venue. So we'll have to wait and see, I guess.

In any case, I'm trying to get the list of places to see complete before we leave, as I'm not sure when we'll be back to Buffalo again to figure this out. So cross your fingers for us!
