If you are in Calgary, and you want to have a good wedding, I strongly recommend going outside the city to have it, go to a town, rent the community centre for $500, the people that show up have to stay / get wasted = awesome party. Invite lots of young people. The booze, food, pretty much everything is cheaper outside of Calgary and you can probably afford the size you want much easier than you would in Calgary.
^pretty much what we did, but then again she was from the town soooo.... made it easy.
Also, photographers can kiss my ass.

This. We did our wedding out in Okotoks and saved a grand on the venue alone. Didn't get nickel & dimed for things like chair set up/tear down either. One place we spoke to wanted something like $3/chair to setup, and an additional $.50/chair to tear down or something stupid like that. We were looking at almost $400 just for chairs on top of the cost of the venue.
