    My son and his current concubine are getting married in July. Does anyone have any recommendations on a venue?

    You have an excellent memory! It's been awhile though, so can't help on the subject.

    Don't live there, but I vote for a beach wedding!

    Had one for mine, so I'm bias.

    My wife & I owned a weekend mobile DJ service in Louisiana and weddings was about 85% of our business for 17 years from 2002 - 2019. Below are some of the national sites we advertised on.
    Some of these locations are going to be expensive because its Pensacola.. popular vacation site & beach community. Its Fla.. a good many wealthy residents. So, you'll need to cull through the venues to find something in your style & budget.
    You'll also be able to look for caterers, photographers, bands/DJ's etc on all these sites.
    I am still associated with a forum that deals in DJs. Let me see if anyone is still on the forum from that area & see if I can get you any local venues that may not be advertising on a national wedding site.

    Good suggestions. Also look for state, county or city parks & recreation area's. They usually have venues of some sort that you can rent by the lake etc.

    Also, instead of Googling for "Wedding Venue" look for "Event Venue". That will get you more local, independent owned venues.
    Look for "Community Center", "Civic Center" or "Convention Center". They usually have various rooms for private events.
    We have done many weddings in hotel conference or event rooms. Hotels provide good accommodations if that would work for you.

    I went back and looked at some of the old websites I advertised on:

    My Party Planner
    Thumbtack
    WEDJ

    I don't know if all these are still active. Just google them and see. Most of these were basic - intermediate quality/priced vendors.
