Parent with cancer - how feasible to quickly plan a budget wedding?

A parent is terminally ill, trying to understand how feasible it would be to plan a budget wedding at shortish notice.

I feel like I need an idiots guide. I have no idea where to even start looking…

If not marrying in a church, what are good budget options? There are some registry offices but they don’t look very aesthetically pleasing.. but could we do registry office then hire out a pub for food after? Or can you do the whole thing in a hotel?

I’ve got a big family, I think even just bare bones family and close friends it would be about 60 people. Realistically is this possible on a budget? I’m not thinking a big wedding, just a reception and food/drinks after perhaps. Unfortunately haven’t got a garden or similar that we could use for an at home reception.

I’ve been googling but there’s so much information and it’s pretty overwhelming, don’t know where to start 😩 any tips or ideas or resources welcome ❤️

I hope you and your partner are able to tie the knot at a time and in a way that feels right for you and honours your memories of your loved one.
