Wedding bells are in the air and that day you have always dreamt of is drawing near. The problem most couples face these days is wedding finances. People associate the best weddings with a lot of money. However, that is not the case. You can have your dream wedding at an affordable price with a few of the ideas stated below. Read on:
Favorite Restaurant
Nowadays restaurants have private rooms that can be rented. Most hotels for weddings offer special rental packages for their restaurants, including advice for planning your wedding day. Others have a beautiful back garden if you desire a garden wedding. These are among the best budget friendly wedding locations. Pick a restaurant that you and your man frequent then have them reserve a certain day for the ceremony. Some restaurants will be delighted to do the catering as well for a reasonable price. This is a way to share with family and friends your special place.
The Park
Parks have become a common place as wedding locations because all a couple will pay is a small nominal fee. Most parks are decorated with vintage fountains, lovely picnic areas for guests and are easily accessible. If you intend to go with the park idea, make sure you settle for one with a covered patio and well presentable.
Theater Halls
If you have been to a theater you will notice that this is a romantic place to stage your perfect wedding. Getting married on the theater stage will be breathtaking and you will also be supporting the arts department. Some common theater halls being used these days include the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The second floor of this theater hall is perfect for the wedding reception. If you are a local resident in New York, you will be offered a steep discount. When selecting a theater hall, pick one that reflects your theme, for example an old theater will bring in that vaudeville charm while the modern ones will offer a contemporary theme. For non residents the fees charged here are low and mainly used to maintain the building. With a good decorating team you can turn a theater hall into one of the most magical wedding locations.
Former College
Where you attended college I am sure your institution had an alumni hall or perfect chapel. Why not grace your occasion at your alma mater for merely pennies. Most colleges charge alumni very little while non alumni will still find it affordable. Your former college will be honored to have their student wed on campus and will do anything to make things easier for you.
Unusual locations
While dating your man, there must have been places you loved to go. It could be on the farm or at a certain amusement park. These locations are hardly used for weddings and when you inquire with the management about hosting your own they will be thrilled. The mere fact that people do not stage weddings here will give you a chance to score a big discount on the fee.
Weddings do not have to be too costly, with these few ideas you can make your day one to remember. Use these to save enough in order to get that amazing wedding dress instead.
