Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Here are a couple of ideas for venues where you can hold both your ceremony and reception:
Elks Club: http://www.elks.org/lodges/lodgefacilities.cfm?LodgeNumber=1091
VFW: http://www.vfwwebcom.org/nh/post1772
Rochester Parks & Recreation Facilities: http://www.rochestermn.gov/departments/park/rentals_reservations/index.asp
Colleges and Universities in Rochester (who may have facilities to rent): http://www.rochesterhighered.org/
Rochester YMCA (sometimes your local Y will have space you can rent): http://www.rochfamy.org/
Good luck with your planning! And let us know how things go.
Best wishes,
Marti Barton, Officiant

Get a bridal planner guide to see what kinds of things you should be doing. That will help you prioritize.
Don't stress yourself out with all the details that they state in those books though. Keep it simple.
You'll do fine. I planned my wedding in 150 days, made all the flowers, made my veil, and all the centerpieces. It can be done.

I planned my own wedding in 6 weeks -- 42 days -- it's possible! But don't get caught up in the details. As mbrown69 says, just because the planners and bridal magazines and websites, etc. indicate that you MUST have every little detail they recommend, you DON'T. Stick with the basic elements (you could carry a single red rose instead of a $200 rose bouquet, for example, or have wedding cake and punch instead of a plated meal), do what makes sense for you, and ignore the expectations of others. The sweetest reception I ever saw was a group of about 20 family and friends who arrived at an Old Country Buffet where my husband and I were having dinner. They brought gifts and balloons and a small wedding cake, they all trooped through the buffet line, and then proceeded to have the best time right there in the middle of the restaurant. We all felt like we were a part of their celebration.
Bottom line is that you're celebrating your love and commitment to each other among the people who mean the most to you. Everything else is just window dressing! Do what matters to you and what you can afford -- if you're creative (or know someone who is who can help), you can have a beautiful wedding without breaking the bank.

I planned my wedding in just under 3 months from a deployed location (I am in the military). I dealt with everything online so at least your in the local area. Shop around, look for either apartment or neighborhood club houses of friends or family. VFW post, rec centers, parks, etc. are also inexpensive venues. I went with a lady that baked cakes out of her house and paid$150 including tip and delivary for a 3 tiered cake with a filling, flavored icing, water features, flowers, etc. and it turned out amazing. The only thing that's hindering you is time but everything else is endless. Don't get stressed it all works out in the end.
