Finding the perfect wedding venue can be extremely stressful for the couple, and tough on their wallets as well. With all of the costs to be factored in when planning a wedding, you probably want to keep the price of the venue to a minimum. If you are creative and think outside of the box, you can find a unique location for your wedding that won't strain your budget.
Botanical Garden or Local Park
-
Take a visit to your local botanical garden. Many botanical gardens allow the public to rent specific areas in the garden for events for a small fee. Having your wedding at a public park is another option. Many local parks have beautiful grounds and landscaping that can provide the perfect setting for your ceremony.
Museum
-
Many museums have patio areas or a gallery spaces large enough to hold a wedding ceremony. If you like art, say your vows against a backdrop of your favorite artist's work. Visit your local art museum to inquire.
Restaurant
-
Call your favorite upscale restaurant to see if you can reserve a private dining area for your big day. If this location doubles as your reception venue, you will save more money.
The Beach
-
Beach weddings are ideal not only because of the picturesque location, but also for their low cost. Many public beaches do not charge unless the gathering is so large that a section of the beach needs to be closed down. If your wedding is small and intimate and you live near the beach, a wedding on the beach may be a wonderful money-saving option.
Friend or Family Member's House
-
Having your wedding at a friend or family member's home is probably the easiest way to save money on your wedding venue. Save money and give your wedding an intimate feel by having your ceremony and reception in the backyard. You can even ask your family to chip in to prepare food for the guests.
