4th Renting an Airbnb House
Another more modern idea that many couples are opting for right now is renting an Airbnb for their ceremony/reception. There are many huge houses and mansions that accept bigger parties on their properties. The best about this is that it can fit your budget or you can go wild too, either way, Airbnb has prices that fit into anyone's budget.
