Can you do a New York version??

We had a small 60 person wedding.
Plus, we did a luncheon instead of a dinner at maggiano's little italy restaurant.
Wonderful food, was careful of allergies, and even saved our butts when I forgot the gluten free cake (everyone who had gluten allergies sat at one table and got creme brulee) didn't even know abound it until afer the fact. they were great to work with 😊

I know this video is a little older but we’re getting married in a cemetery in October in front of a mausoleum. All we had to do was get permission from the owner so the entire ceremony part is FREE (besides where we’re staying the night before and gas) plus we love the thought of “death do us part” so the cemetery is romantic to us. The reception is 2 hours away from the ceremony but we’re ok with that because we’re keeping the ceremony intimate, and we get a two hour car ride alone together before having to mingle with the rest of the family. We’re going to do family photos first so those who aren’t part of the bridal party can start heading to the reception and get something to eat on the way there if they’d like so we’re not stressed about people waiting around while we do the rest of the photos.
Not to mention our reception location is inside of a state park at a fully inclosed recreation building. We’re going to have to stop by a family member’s house on the way to pickup all our decorations, cake, drinks, ETC but that’s ok because we plan on there being plenty of time to set up and if we start to run out of time we trust everyone who was at the ceremony to help finish setting up the reception while we go to another location in the park so family arriving don’t see us before the reception starts. (Going to rent the same location a few weeks before to “mock up” what we want it to look like and take pictures so no one gets confused on what we want the space to look like). It was only $40 to rent the location for one day. It’s available from around 10am till 11pm which is freaking amazing! Thank you so much for all your advice and I hope this helps other couples who are struggling to find cheap options but still looking to have a great time!

Wow I love this video and personality but this has just proven to me that this is not what. I want though I do not want an expensive wedding! I want a vibe where venue and reception are together no driving back and forth and ideally everyone staying today whether hotel block etc I’m thinking my best option is newer orchard farm venues OR destination all inclusive probably Mexico wedding ! Could you do a destination wedding video?

So anther fun thing with parks, botanical gardens, and beaches at least for those of us in Hawaii and a factor MANY people in the wedding groups I'm in do not consider: the number of restrictions. Our botanical gardens here have the following caveats to their use for weddings, aside from a permit of course:
-must observe garden hours (most close at 4pm)
-you cannot restrict or prohibit other visitors use of the garden
-limited parking, if the garden has an entry fee it must be paid for all guests
-no alcohol, receptions, or throwing rice
-No musical instruments of sound amplification (some will allow with a special permit)
-No tents, chairs, tables, and similar items (special permit required but not common)
-Separate permit for photography, in addition to garden permit

For beaches, you need a special permit because weddings are considered commercial activity but you are not allowed to set up chairs, tables, or other similar large items that may obstruct public access to the beach and I believe there are also restrictions on alcohol and sound amplifications.

Parks have fewer restrictions once you get the permit, but some fun ones include:
-shall not "construct, use, place, occupy, leave, or in any other many, situate any tent"
-shall not " Engage in or conduct any activity that creates any sound, noise or music exceeding 80 dBA sound pressure level taken at a point 10 feet in front of the source for a cumulative time period of at least five minutes when measured with a calibrated American National Standard Institute (ANSI) Type I or Type II sound level meter with weighting set at “A” and response set at “slow” except any activity that is sponsored by the city or the department of parks and recreation or authorized by permit issued by the city"

I share that information simply because many people come to Hawaii to get married thinking they can "just get married on the beach" and because if you can comply with all those restrictions parks are by far the most affordable venue we've got out here in a market that caters to destination and luxury weddings.

One really cool venue we have here in Honolulu is the Ho'okupu Center. It's a green facility, you get a discount if you use their in-house catering (which has an incredible menu and is locally sourced, mostly farm-to-table) that for guest counts around ours is still cheaper than most other base prices for venues out here. It's waterfront and basically a big open air pavillion with doors on the side. The main downsides are that you can only book up to a year in advance and it's in Kewalo Basin, so there are a lot of homeless people in the parks nearby and often in the parking lot before you get to the center.

Thank you so much for this!!

What I'm running into is community centers/government places is they don't allow alcohol😔😔😔

Horrible video. Didn’t show any places, no actual facts…..pure waste of time on your part.

My sister got married at the top of a ski resort. It was free as long as they didn't use the deck. Some of the guests had to purchase a ticket to ride the lift, but without skis or a snowboard, it was very cheap.

The reception was at a neighborhood community center. Since my dad lived in the neighborhood, it was $200/ day. So she rented it for 2 days to have plenty of time for cleanup. It was a beautiful little building.

Loved this topic! I’m in Vegas, home of the chapel and casino weddings, but locals don’t always want those typical, touristy Vegas venues. I’m always on the lookout for unique budget-friendly places for couples to get married.

We looked at so many venues, and many that were alternative venues.
We ended up having our ceremony at a city owned park/lake, and reception was in an event space above a small art gallery. We paid less than $1000 for both locations.

We hosted a reception in 2008 at an Italian restaurant. We guaranteed to fill/pay for all 100 seats. The restaurant offered 21:24 two main entrees, fresh flowers on the tables, real napkins and tableware, dessert. Plus a special flaming dessert for the couple. Music was playing in the background ( no dancing room, however). It was lovely. We've heard that they've held other wedding receptions since. We started a trend!
