My fiance and I are on a VERY strict wedding budget, any suggestions to have a nice but inexpensive wedding?

My fiance and I just bought a house so money is tight. We are trying to plan our wedding for this year or spring of next year (April) but I am finding it difficult to find venues or come up with ideas that aren’t cheesy and are cost effective. Our budget is $5,000 max and we will have approximately 60 – 100 people. Any suggestions for a nice, simple, inexpensive wedding that isn’t cheesy? We live in Ontario, in the GTA.

We are inviting 36 guests and our budget is $1500 for the entire day. Here are our plans.

Getting married in a Rose Garden at noon for free. (lots of outdoor dropship wedding dresses venue are free or charge low prices, we found nice parks who rent their property for only $30/day. The Rose Garden we chose is free)
Small guestlist
Noon wedding, afternoon reception. Lunch food is cheaper than dinner food.
No need to decorate the garden, it’s nice enough. We are buying NO decorations.
My dress $89. Flower Girl dress $25. His suit hope to spend no more than $200
No wedding party. Only flower girl.
DIY flower bouquet from fresh cut dept. store flowers
Reception- Lunch at a nice restaurant. No need to decorate, it’s nice enough. wholesale wedding dresses No need to rent tables, chairs, place settings, ETC..we just show up an eat. Only pay for the food we eat. Can’t get any easier than that. Paying $16 per person. Serving classic comfort foods…nothing fancy.
Hired Photographer for ceremony only. Using disposable cameras for reception
Hired violinist for ceremony only. Restaurant will play background music for lunch reception.
Cupcakes
Invitations from vistaprint.com
That’s basically it. Our goal for the day is to simply get married and then sell wedding dresses go eat with our family and friends. Not concerned with all the other fluff that goes with weddings these days.
