From the cakes and catering to the dresses and DJs, weddings can easily turn from an occasion of love and happiness to a disastrous credit card statement. But if you’re able to locate in inexpensive wedding venue, you can cut out a good portion of costs, stress and hassle down the road. In this article, we will outline a few tips to help you find your ideal inexpensive wedding location.

Step 1 – Popular locations like hotels, resorts and reception halls are able to charge clients an arm and a leg. Regardless of the price they are asking, chances are that there will always be a line of brides to fill up their calendars.

Those looking to save a little bit of coin may want to consider venues that are less popular. This will generally mean avoiding the locations listed on websites or the backs of magazines. As an alternative, look into places that do not usually host these types of events. Most of these places will be pleased to host you at a much lower rate than many of the halls and hotels. This is due to the fact that you will be providing them with some extra publicity… and hell… they may even through out a few extras. Consider the following:

1. Nightclubs
2. A favorite resturant
3. New halls that are looking for business
4. Art galleries
5. Get creative! If you find a place that you are interested in be sure to ask even if you don’t think they offer such services on a regular basis.

2 – If you happen to reside in a large city area, you may want to consider holding the event somewhere in suburbs or a nearby town. For example, residents of New York City should look into locations in Westchester or New Jersey. The larger the city, the more your venue will likely end up costing.

Step 3 – If possible, try to combine the reception and ceremony space. This will allow you to save quite a bit of cash on an unnecessary location. As an added bonus, those attending the event will not have fear of getting lost if they are unfamiliar with the area. Look at it as a way to score two locations for the price of one.

Step 4 – Most of these events are typically held between May and October. Therefore, those looking to save some money should look to book their locations between November and April. Many of the fancier locations will lower their prices to account for the lack of traffic. Additionally, you may want to look into booking a day other than Saturday. Saturdays are the most popular day for these types of events, and thus, you will likely incur a lower cost if you book Sunday through Friday.

Step 5 – Be sure to evaluate all of your options. By allowing yourself to be a little creative and stray of the typical wedding plan, you can easily save yourself a great deal or money, while offering your guests a unique experience that they will talk about for years to come.
