Yep. We used the Big Rock Brewery for the Reception. So they took care of the food and the drinks. Food was a set price per plate, and drinks were at a reduced rate (though I don't think it was $2, maybe it was closer to $4), with a roll of tickets for the bride and myself to hand out for freebies (we made sure everyone of drinking age got at least one ticket). The DJ wasn't too expensive (~$500, iirc) either.
The venue was Confederation Park, of which you can rent slices of for 6 hours for $30 (yes, really). We rented chairs ($2/per, iirc) which included set up and tear down.
It suited both of us very well, and we quite enjoyed it. Not the sort of wedding that is 'for everyone' though, I imagine.
