I am in the process of trying to find a reception site for my wedding, But haven't found anything I like in our price range. Since my fiancee and I are still going to school we can't afford anything very expensive , our budget is 1,000-2,000 dollars for the reception. We both live in York, PA but are going to be married in Glyndon, MD. We have decided that since most of the guests (his entire family) are from out of town that we don't want more than a 20-30 minute drive between the ceremony and the reception. If anyone has any ideas or suggustions please let me know. Thanks in advance
while i'm not familiar with the area and don't know anything else about your wedding (guest count, time of year, if the 1000-2000 is just for rental alone or includes food/drink), there are some general possibilities you can think about looking at.
1. public parks and city-owned historic locations -- these can turn out to be quite the gem, and usually have super low rental fees and also offer discounts if you live in the city. you can usually find info for these locations on the city's official website.
2. restaurants -- if your guest count is lower, renting out a restaurant or a restaurant's largest banquet room could be a budget friendly idea...you can find a place with great food and great decor and not have to worry about renting much b/c it's already there!
3. knights of columbus banquet hall -- i'm not totally familiar with what they do, but i get the impression the rental fee for the banquet facilities is quite reasonable. they have locations all over the nation and a quick search did come up with some options in maryland, though i don't know where any of those cities are in relation to glyndon :p.
hopefully some of those ideas can be helpful in your search!

It's a beautiful waterfront setting and it seems like they have some options that would be in your price range.
