Can anyone recommend good but cheap turf for the southeast?

Argentine Bahia, there is a Pensacola you do NOT want the Pensacola. Get it down quick and give it plenty of water until it takes root. Use a low nitrogen fertilizer and iron to green it up faster, low nitrogen this time because you want to encourage roots not top growth. A week or two before wedding put down a light application of high nitrogen. water off surface to prevent burning. When mowing do not cut short like people tend to do. Cut it at 3 - 4 inch it will thick and lush.
