Don’t get caught up in spending thousands of dollars on a wedding venue. Brides sometimes get tricked into believing it has to be expensive to look gorgeous. This is not the case. By saving money on the location of the wedding you will have extra money to spend in other areas of your wedding, including the dress, the cake, or the honeymoon.

A Friend Or Family Members Home

Do you know of a friend or family member with a wedding worthy home? This can be one of the most affordable locations to have your wedding. You can have the ceremony inside and a late evening reception by candlelight. Affordable, easy, and your friend will feel honored by you selecting their home for your big day.

A Quaint Country Church

Many old country churches are considered historical to the town, so they have been remodeled or well taken care of. These churches are so much cheaper than larger churches because they are in the country and smaller. These are perfect for smaller more intimate Christian ceremonies.

A Local Museum

Did you know that many museums have certain areas that are available for weddings? These areas are marked off and rented by the hour. Since many couples do not know this is an option, the museum rates are usually quite a bit cheaper than a well known wedding venue.

The Forest

For the adventurous couple, why not exchange wedding vows in a beautiful clearing in the forest. If the land is privately owned by someone you know you can save a bundle of cash. Being surrounded by nature, fresh air, and great people sounds like the perfect wedding.

On Top Of a Mountain

Exchange your wedding vows on top of a mountain. This may sound like a luxury you cannot afford, but with patience you can find a mountaintop that is beautiful and affordable. Surround yourself with your family, friends, and fabulous views.
