... to find someone willing to rent you their house for your wedding, especially if it's a big one (such as yours).

My wife and I tried every possible avenue and no one wanted to do it, no matter how much was offered for price.

It would take an enormous toll on the house/landscaping/neighborhood if 150 guests showed up for a wedding, not to mention the plumbing that a previous poster talked about.

We ended up getting married at Church Landing last August and I can not say enough positive things about the experience. From the food (we did the carving stations), to the staff (especially the waitress who took care of my wife and me), to the early check in they gave to all of our guests (we got married on a Friday night and the rehearsal was at 3pm on Thursday), everything was perfect.

It was cloudy all day up until 4:00. At 4:30 when the ceremony began it was all sunshine, a slight breeze, no humidity, and about 85 degrees. Absolutely perfect.

It was over a year ago and I still remember every single second of it. If you do get married there, try to stay in the Tree House Suite. It's kind of removed from the rest of the hotel and is very cool inside.

Congrats and good luck!!!
