Weddingbee boards

Hi Bees!

Long time lurker, first time poster here!  :)  My guy is from Madrid and we'd love to do a wedding in or around the city (I'm from the US).  The wedding will be in October 2013 but since it's a destination wedding I want to plan things out well ahead of time.

I've been trying to research venues for a budget wedding and am having a really hard time!  There don't seem to be many centralized listings for Spain (or it may just be that I'm searching in English).  I'd love to pull off the wedding & reception for $8,000 USD or less for 100 guests but that's starting to look like a pipe dream. 

I'm turning to you all for help!  Do you have any locations/packages you can suggest, or just general tips for a budget wedding in Spain and things to consider?  I'm not a stickler about the type of location - I'm just looking to have a gathering of family and friends with the guy I love.  :)  If the website is in Spanish, that's totally fine!  I can read the language well and have my guy to help if I do have translation issues.  ^.~

Thanks oodles in advance for any help and suggestions!

@Miss Sunset: Renting a cafe is a great idea!  Thank you!  I might check out some of the smaller villages - Plaza Mayor would be a bit too in the public eye for me.  XD  I'd prefer somewhere more private, and I'm guessing a cafe in a smaller area would be less expensive.

I should probably define the range of location a little better - we could easily go anywhere within a half hour's drive of the city.  Parks, gardens, cafes, etc are all options!
