Before you get your heart set on an off location wedding, make sure you do the math. An off location wedding such as a beach, mountainous area, etc are great locations that many dream of, but the come with many costs that are not normally associated with a typical wedding venue. In fact, you have to pretty much assume that none of the things you "take for granted" will be there. Such things include:

- Kitchen - 1500-2500
- Power - 1000-1500
- Water - 800-1000
- Bathrooms 250-500 a unit

If these are not locally available, you will have to bring them in. This means renting them and having them dropped off. Yes, even "good looking" portapotty's can be brought in as well. The prices associated with these vary, but the above is typical pricing.

This article is not meant to discourage but to make sure you understand all costs associated with it and that a wedding planner is the way to go when choosing an off site location. They will save you a lot of money and stress!
