Be honest -- is there any way I can have 120 people without completely going broke or turning the wedding into a keg party?

It's possible, but you'll have to cut out some things.

If you want to provide alcohol, scale back on food. Maybe do an appetizer pass? Or you could keep a decent amount of food but limit the alcohol served. (Offering wine/beer versus a full bar)

Time of day is very important. If you have an evening wedding and reception, people may expect dinner. Mid-afternoon, you could do a lighter spread (tea sandwiches).

We were 100 people (we could afford 125) and we hit 12k. That's with a full buffet dinner (flank steak, bbq chicken, cheese/bread) and open bar. Ours was at Primrose Cottage in Roswell. Wedding was at 7:30, reception from 8-midnight. Loved it. I had to use their inhouse caterers and florists, but that was okay for me. It was less hassle, and it didn't break us.
