Planning Links

This is just a post I'll be editing as needed to collect the links to a variety of vendors, locations, and other things to consider as we try to plan this shindig.

Possible wedding locations:

http://www.destateparks.com/know/event/irlssfacility.htm
http://www.destateparks.com/know/event/facbiden.htm
http://www.destateparks.com/know/event/facgrass.htm
(the two above are potentially good Memorial Day weekend Sunday wedding locations - Biden for its affordable sleeping facilities and beach area location, Grass Dale for its more northern location so less traffic and less expensive lodging)

(Redden is close, pretty, the lodge will seat 60, cost $225)

Sunny Brae Mansion in milford web site is www.sunnybraemansion.com
Knottsberry Farm in Delmar
Indian River Lifesaving Station (beach wedding but not enough space for indoor ceremony/reception) http://www.destateparks.com/know/event/irlssfacility.htm
Roxana Fire house..302-436-2300
