Choosing the Right Type of Location for an Affordable Wedding
Whether you are scouting for a manor steeped in history or an outdoor area where kids can roam freely, the venue you pick can make or break the entire celebration. Discover 10000 affordable wedding venues on the Giggster app and pick one that aligns with the couple's visions and chosen theme.
Historic Venues – Memorable Weddings. Give guests something to talk about with a wedding ceremony and reception at a stately home in the countryside. Imagine being surrounded by rolling hills and lush landscapes and saying "yes" under a gorgeous flower arch in enchanting gardens.
Beach Houses – Unforgettable Parties. Do you dream of a laid-back beach wedding, toes in the sand, sea salt in your hair? Beach weddings can be as inexpensive or extravagant as you want them to be. A beach bonfire and barbecue, a DJ, and a fun crowd are all it takes to create lasting memories.
City Halls – Affordable Venues. If you want to have the ceremony and reception at the same location, a city hall is just the place to save some money. These venues are ideal for intimate parties, which makes them the most cost-effective option to tie the knot. Get your marriage license, dress up, and enjoy your day!
Outdoor Spaces – Scenic Views. Whether it's the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, a private home near Lake Tahoe, or a beach house in Palm Springs, outdoor weddings are all the rage, especially in spring and summer. You get to enjoy stunning scenery and immerse yourself in nature at a lower cost than renting a trendy hotspot downtown.
Restaurants – Everything Under One Roof. When wedding planning gets too overwhelming, find a restaurant or a private dining space where you can enjoy a hassle-free ceremony and reception. Choose from the many affordable diners, gastropubs, and taverns on Giggster, and book a venue that fits the bill.
Essentials for an Affordable Wedding Location
Are you planning a low-cost wedding, and you are bargain-hunting for a venue that won't cost an arm and a leg? Consider these features for a memorable experience you can afford.
How big is the venue? The perfect venue should be big enough to comfortably accommodate guests but not overly big if you are hosting a small, intimate gathering.
Can you bring your own decorations? If the chosen venue lacks charm, check if you can add a personal touch with your own decor and accessories. DIY balloon garlands, fresh flowers and greenery from your garden, and homemade candles are all cost-effective ideas to beautify the space.
How about entertainment? Live music bands are popular for weddings, but if you are hosting on a budget, you can opt for other ways to entertain. Go for a DJ, karaoke, or streaming music online.
How to Plan an Affordable Wedding
If planning an affordable wedding turns you into a bridezilla, we have just the tips to help you relax and beat the pre-wedding jitters.
Set a Date Off-Peak Season – The date and time of the wedding can significantly impact your experience. To save money, choose any day other than Saturday and Sunday, preferably off-peak season. Make sure there are no big events on your day or other reasons that may prevent guests from getting to the venue.
Find Affordable Venue – Perhaps you are planning a micro wedding. The backyard of a smaller space is the perfect place to host your nuptials. Search the Giggster app for more budget-friendly options. From historic manors to hillside villas and empty warehouses, you'd be surprised with the selection on offer.
Say Yes to the Second-Hand Dress – Wedding gowns can be very expensive, whether you choose a custom-made dress or purchase one from a specialty boutique. You can save up to 90% of the original listed price when you buy a pre-owned wedding dress.
Create a Low-Cost Menu – The wedding menu doesn't have to be anything fancy. Shop for discounted food if you are cooking or order pizzas, tacos, burgers, and a variety of finger food. A buffet style is always the most cost-effective solution. To cut costs even more, limit alcoholic drinks to beer and wine only and soft drinks like homemade lemonade and iced tea.
Affordable Wedding Expenses to Plan For
From rental fees to marriage licenses, wedding photography, and food, weddings are not cheap. Set your wedding budget and figure out where you want to save and where you want to indulge.
What is your wedding dream location?
Whether you dream of a lounge with skyline views at $50 an hour or a private lakeside property charging $100, you are sure to find a beautiful wedding venue without breaking the bank. Save the date and search Giggster for a stellar budget-friendly option that matches your style.
Does your venue offer wedding packages?
Most restaurants and diners include catering, music, and decorations, which can cut costs tremendously. On the other hand, a food and beverage minimum applies to the in-house menu, which is not the case with event spaces like private homes and public outdoor areas. If you decide on a private house rental, discuss wedding packages with your event planner to help you find affordable vendors with wedding specials.
How long is your guest list?
Do you want to invite everyone you know to your big event? While that may make you feel better, it could be bad for your budget. There's nothing wrong with micro weddings. Host an intimate celebration with the people without whom you can't imagine celebrating this new chapter of your life.
Plan Your Affordable Wedding with Giggster
