One of the first decisions you will need to make when planning a wedding and reception is where to host the event. Depending on the time of year, places are busy and it's important to get your event booked as soon as possible. There are a lot of factors to consider when finding THE place and it could also be one of your largest expenses. Some of the factors that need considering are: How many quests will attend? Obviously, the more guests that you invite, the larger venue you will need. Don't forget to think of parking. Do you have to use the venue's catering services or can you bring your own food. Booking a local wedding venue, hotel or city building will run anywhere from $300-$2500. They may require that you use their catering services which will definitely eat up your funds. How much work do you want to put into the decorations? By using a beautiful building, you will not need to decorate nearly as if you used a local church or a conference room. Think carefully, would you really save that much money if you got creative and decorated yourself? What rules do you need to follow?
Can you light candles, are children allowed, can you bring your own photographer, wedding cake and food? If you are looking to save money, your local church or a friend's beautiful back yard is the way to go, FREE, FREE, FREE! This will free up your funds to spend elsewhere or to stick into that savings account.
