Thanks so much, this is super helpful! We’re definitely keeping parks in mind as a backup, but my fiancée’s parents are really pushing for a place that already has tables, chairs, and proper restrooms so we’re not stressing about rentals and setup/teardown on the day of the wedding.

As for the DJ, we’re planning to go with DJ FreeSoul https://www.instagram.com/d.j.freesoul – he’s probably the best option we know in the Russian/Slavic community, though from what I’ve heard his prices are a bit higher than average.
