Maria,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding Ralston Hall Mansion for your upcoming wedding. We currently have availability for a few Saturdays in November, 2010. The Mansion can accommodate up to 200 guests seated for a dinner and dancing. We have a lovely garden area for your ceremony or you may choose to be married in the beautiful ballroom. The first floor of the Mansion is elegantly furnished and makes the ideal site for your reception festivities. We have a Preferred Caterers List which we ask our clients to select from. Clients are also invited to bring in their own alcoholic and soft beverages without a corkage fee. Click here to see beautiful wedding photography at Ralston Hall Mansion.

Also included in the rental fee are tables and chairs for guest seating, installation of a dance floor, 1 hour of rehearsal time, locked storage for the week prior to your event and the services of a facility manager during your event. Rental rates are as follows: Saturdays-$8500.00, Sundays-$7500.00 and Friday evenings-$6500.00. Rates are slightly lower January through April. Current students receive a 25% discount on these rates.

(They didn't get that this is just for the reception and not the wedding.)
Also if we do have it there it prolly will not be on a Saturday. With there prices it will prolly be on a weekday evening. Perhaps end of Feb or around my bday in 2011.

Another option is
San Mateo Garden Center
This one is probably way cheaper than my school.
When the time comes I think I'll pick the venue and catering with my parents. Maybe we can go cheap with the music and play it off an ipod. I think the food and the place is more important. Food prolly will take top priority hahahahaha.
I figure we can just start by mingling, (if we can get a party host, that might make it easier.) Then we can do the eating, dancing, bouquet toss and garter toss. more dancing, cake cutting, and then more dancing till its over.
I think maybe if we pick a venue and host and then let them take care of the decorating that can save a lot of money. Before we really get into the planning I need to find out what my parents budget is though. If we want to keep it as cheap as possible, picking a lower cost restuarant and doing the entire thing there will prolly be cheaper than having it at my school and getting food catered.
