Cheap Wedding Venues Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get started with some inspirational wedding venues on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do It At Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a large garden then you may already have the perfect wedding venue and it\u2019s exceptionally cheap (read \u2018free\u2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t panic if you don\u2019t have an appropriate size or style garden, consider your relatives and close friends, it\u2019s likely that one of them will have the perfect venue for your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you\u2019ll need to allow for a gazebo, chairs, table and all the other elements that you want to include in your wedding. But, you can get everything to come to you and, best of all, someone else will clear up while you head for your honeymoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have You A Zoo Close To You?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for something a little different take a look at the tourist hotspots in your area. For example, your local zoo will provide facilities for almost any social event. You may need to tie the knot in the evening but what better venue that standing in front of the tiger cage? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"zoo

The advantage of many tourist hot spots is that they don\u2019t generally make money in the evening, this means they will offer a cheap rate, allowing you to pour your money into the wedding and not the wedding venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just zoos that make great cheap wedding venues if there is an amusement park, model village, or any other type of tourist based attraction you\u2019re likely to be able to use it as your venue. It\u2019s easy to find and secure this type of wedding venue, simply visit your local tourist office and see what attractions there are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be surprised at how many of them will be eager to give you the special day you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Local Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Local museums should come up when you visit the tourist office, however, they are often overlooked as the perfect wedding venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"museum

The simple fact is that many museums are housed in period buildings and often have attractive outside spaces. It\u2019s worth considering them as cheap wedding venues and surprising yourself and your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the very least pay them a visit to see what they have to offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Registry Office<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a more traditional venue and one that is often seen as the cheap option. But, it doesn\u2019t have to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"registry

There are a number of beautiful registry offices that can make a fantastic backdrop for your wedding photos. You can also use the registry office to ensure numbers are limited by the size of the room, this will help to reduce your costs as you\u2019ll only need to cater for the guests in a venue of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Public Garden<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever walked by the local park and thought it would make the perfect wedding venue? It\u2019s becoming an increasingly popular option and with good reason. Not only is it a cheap venue, but it is also incredibly flexible regarding the size of your wedding party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have to check with your local council regarding using the park but they are unlikely to have an issue with your ceremony being there; making it one of the best cheap wedding venues on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you\u2019ll be hoping for good weather in order to proceed with an outside wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Street Outside Your Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may not have realized it but you can close the street outside your home. Obviously, you\u2019ll need permission from your council and it\u2019s going to need to be a minor road; you can\u2019t shut the main road into your town just for a party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The

You may also need to invite the other people on your street, to ensure they don\u2019t feel inconvenienced by the street closure. The good news is that this is a very cheap venue, closing the street for your party simply requires the application fee to the council and a few properly completed forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hire A Boat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to hire a boat and have the wedding and the party at one venue. If the sun is out and you\u2019re cruising down the river you\u2019re guaranteed to have one of the best wedding venue options available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"boat

Guests will need to be on time to avoid missing the boat but you\u2019ll find there is an intimacy and sense of adventure that is often lacking at popular wedding venue options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the boat firm will usually charge a set amount to hire the boat you\u2019ll find this is a surprisingly cheap and attractive venue option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Theatre<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another venue option worth considering is the theatre in your local town, o even a nearby one. There will be days that it is not being used and it makes a fantastic wedding venue, especially if it has period architecture or a claim to fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"theatre
houston.culturemap.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps best of all is that many people will not have thought of the theatre as a cheap venue for your wedding, allowing you to be both stylish, unique, and even hint at a wedding far more costly than it actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect With Your Passion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to do something completely different then consider what passions you and your partner share. If you both love parachuting or bungee jumping then consider this as your wedding venue. Ideally, your best man and even your head bridesmaid will join in the fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of your wedding party get the ground below as the venue and can hear your screams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s imaginative, personal, and surprisingly affordable compared to so many venue options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, it will create an experience that you\u2019ll never forget. Of curse, you will need somewhere to hold the party afterward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Tips To Help You Choose The Right Wedding Venue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to remove the word \u2018cheap\u2019 from your mind. This conjures up negative images when, in fact, most cheap wedding venues are simply more affordable and still fantastic choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret to choosing the right wedding venue is in knowing what it is you want. The fact that it falls into the category of cheap wedding venues is simply an inevitable bonus when you consider what you really need for your special day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tips will help to ensure your wedding venue is perfect for your special day;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Saturdays<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost any venue you choose will be more expensive on a Saturday, especially if you mention the word \u2018wedding\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But, you can avoid this issue by choosing a different day for your wedding, after all, why do you need to get married on a Saturday? Anyone who values your friendship will find a way to be there on a workday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Peak Times<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as Saturday\u2019s are more expensive you\u2019ll also find there are specific peak wedding venue times throughout the year. These are generally during the summer months when the weather is nicer, although Christmas can also be a peak time for any venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you really need the best wedding venue on offer then you can reduce the cost by choosing an off-peak time. The cooler months are best, you\u2019ll see an impressive drop in the price making almost anywhere a cheap wedding venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the exceptionally popular venue choices are booked up for years in advance; this tactic won\u2019t work with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Do You Really Want At Your Special Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t just consider the venue. You can save costs on the entire wedding and even improve your wedding venue choices by thinking about who you really want to be at your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"funny<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fewer guests mean less expense on food and a smaller, more intimate wedding venue. It\u2019s time you thought about whether your second cousins twice removed, that you see once every 5 years, really need to be at your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Be Afraid To Negotiate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because a venue tells you their price doesn\u2019t mean you have to accept it! You may be able to get a discount if you pay in full when you book. Alternatively, there may be elements you don\u2019t want in the venue or perhaps you can include some free advertisement for the venue to reduce the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a good idea not to mention it\u2019s going to be a wedding venue as the price may go up simply because it\u2019s a wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Just One Venue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional states you get married at a church or similar impressive building and then proceed to a second venue for the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"venue<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, this doesn\u2019t have to be the case. It\u2019s very common now to adopt one wedding venue for the entire event. This reduces the costs as you\u2019re only paying for one venue and you don\u2019t need to move people between your venue choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose A New Venue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at a business that has recently opened up in your area, especially any venue that could be used as a wedding venue or is targeting weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"funny<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to use them as your wedding venue and promise to publicize the venue on your social media profiles, you\u2019re likely to get the venue for a fantastic price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even be the first one to use it as a wedding venue and start a trend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Ancillary Costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you congratulate yourself on getting your local park for a reduced rate, take a few moments to consider the extra costs involved in creating your perfect venue. You\u2019ll need chairs, decorations, a marquee of some description to protect against the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These items can add up and make your reasonably priced venue more expensive than a traditional wedding venue; do your sums before you commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Your Own Spirits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the venue you choose you may be able to take your own spirits. This can make a big difference to the cost of supply a drink on arrival or even to having an open bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"funny<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In fact, combining bringing your own bottle with the right wedding venue can actually help guests to feel involved without them having to spend a fortune on wedding gifts, many of which are not really of any use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask For Wedding Help: Not Gifts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is another way of helping to reduce the cost of the wedding venue if your guests are willing to contribute towards the wedding instead of buying gifts you\u2019ll find that you can afford the venue you really want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"wedding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also have the bonus of knowing people will turn up because they\u2019ve invested in your wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Split The Occasion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if funds are really tight but you really want a specific venue for the wedding then you should consider splitting the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"funny<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rent your venue and complete the formalities and then choose a different venue a few months later to have the party and celebrate with everyone you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not be the traditional approach to getting married and choosing a venue, but you need to remember that this is your special day. It\u2019s what you want that counts, no matter how bizarre the theme or the venue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
