My fiance and I have been engaged for two years, we have a baby girl and are spending most if not all of our money on bills & our daughter....
We do not have the luxury of having anyone else pay or even helping out with the wedding costs. I already have my gown and we already have our rings.
We have decided that we are gonna elope and just have a small special intimate wedding between the two of us. We live less than an hour outside of new orleans and assume that is where we will wind up, but does anyone have any other places in mind we could go for super cheap, like under $800.00???

There are tons of beautiful places in St.Francisville, LA (about 2 hours north of New Orleans). There are SO MANY Antebellum homes in the area with bed and breakfasts and a wonderful Justice of the Peace for the area. One B&B that comes to mind immediately is Butler Greenwood Plantation.

They have little private cabins throughout the property that you can rent (they even have kitchens for around $135/nt) and then you could even have the ceremony performed out underneath the old, gigantic Live Oak Trees. I would check with management to make sur this is ok, but I can't see why not, especially if there are no guests and it wouldn't bother other guests! (A friend of mine stayed there for two nights for their Honeymoon and loved it!)
Ther is also The Bluff's Golf and Country Club, they have a lodge and a large clubhouse with resturaunt! VERY NICE also!

Another idea in the area: There is a beautiful park in downtown, surrounded by Live Oak trees and has a gazeebo in the center, it is free to use, and many people have gotten married there before! If the B&B is more than you want to spend there is a Best Western Hotel on the Lake (not sure of their rates). There are tons of wonderful resturaunts in the area, of all price ranges.

If you want information on the name and contact information for the Justice of the Peace, email me! I live locally and would love to help you in any way!
I know local florists, and info on some good priced photography!
You could also try Natchez, MS, very similar to St.Francisville! Or places in Lafayette, LA. I do know quite a bit about these areas also!
Good luck and congrats!

You could go to the courthouse I've seen a lot of wedding done that way you can even decorate it a little if you like or you could go to a church and ask the priest if he could marry you and just bring along a 2 witnesses you only need to give a donation for his time. Or just go to Vegas. Hope that helps.

Contact Rev Curt Huckshold. He is an officiant in that area. He should be able to help you get what you want. Tell him I sent you to him, a AAWO member.

Get married at your local courthouse, then have a more formal reception at your home or a small community center.
