BLOG YOUR WEDDING TIPS!

Okay, bloggers....I need your help!
My daughter is getting married! [Not to worry, I was a child bride.]
While she will be married in our church, the reception site is still being decided.
She has chosen 8-8-08, sort of a knock of of all those 7-7-07 weddings last year. Because 8/8/8 is a Friday, we are setting the time of the ceremony at either 5 or 6 pm so family, friends and coworkers will be able to make it.
This throws us into a formal evening affair, right? We want to have a grand affair, but on a little bit of a budget, and get the most bang for our buck.
The church is in the Windermere/Dr Phillips area, so the reception site should be within the same vicinity, give or take a couple of miles.
We plan a guest list of about 125-150, many from out of town, as far away as Alaska.
Question...just how negotiable are the prices we are getting from these hotels? What are the things I need to ask and how do I get them to work with me on price? And the photographer!
ANY ADVICE YOU CAN BLOG IS WELCOME!
WHAT LOCATIONS CAN YOU RECOMMEND?
I have been on vacation from work for a few weeks and I have seen some great commercials on television! I have seen some of the worst, too.
Worst, those raisin bran guys. Stupid! I hate raisin bran, and this commercial makes me even less likely to change my mind.
Better, the Kleenex commercial..."do you want to lay your head on my shoulder..."
Better, beer commercials! While I am not a beer-drinker, most of them are funny!
Worse....Antonio's! "Good taste is just the beginning..." Not a catchy tune, not appetizing! I live near this restaurant. It's probably great, but I won't go because the commercial is so annoying.
Better..."Hey, War Eagle!" Usually only available to us during an Auburn sports broadcast, the premise of this came from a letter I wrote to them about an experience when I went camping in the Sierra's a few years back. Hiking the back country, 2000 miles from home, what are the chances that the only other trekkers would be wearing Auburn sweatshirts? It is absolutely true!
What are your favorites?
