I Planned My Wedding From 3,000 Miles Away for $3,000 — Here's How

"I reached out to what I consider one of the most beautiful libraries in America and was given access to The Providence Public Library's gorgeous entrance area — complete with ballroom chairs, a prep suite, and a few fun extras the librarians surprised us with — for $1,250 total, far less than the average venue cost; as a bonus, we even signed our wedding certificate in the records room of the first newspaper I ever worked for." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
