How To Find Free & Cheap Wedding Venues | Wedding On A Budget Video #9

I need all the tips I can get… Thank you!

I'm so thankful for you!!!! I started watching your videos this morning, I think this is my 6th one. I stated in another one that my daughter got engaged 2 months ago and set the date for this September. Don't really have the invite list completed but she's thinking around 100-120😳I was thinking around 60😅. The high priority for them is being lit, turnt up. We're going to look at a venue today, $2300, the family has used them before in the past. She likes it for nostalgic reasons(she was in a family members wedding when she was about 5, she's now 24 and it's on the lake)we can have up to 120 but honestly it's an outdated venue especially at that cost. I found a beautiful air BNB venue on the lake but 60guest is the limit but it's half the cost. I'm going to pitch a late morning wedding instead of evening and we can do 2 lunch reception and still come out cheaper. An early lunch reception right after wedding for older friends, family and children and evening reception for the bride and groom age group, they can party til late and check out isn't until 11 the next morning. Thank you so much for the idea AND be praying g with me that the pitch is accepted, thanks for all you share.
Sooooo, the venue has been updated (look at God) and the upstairs grandroom is beautiful, we even get a 25% discount for military service, bringing the total to $1725, tables, chairs, bartender and security include and guests(upto 250 can come)get to go out on the pier. So check out your local American Legion cause you never know, oh and we have the whole morning and day before to decorate. God is a wonderful💕😊

You confirmed my ideas! Thanks so much ;and God bless you!

This is super helpful, thank you so much!! 🥰

I'm not easily offended, but if I were invited to a ceremony and not a reception I would be highly offended. I would say just keep both small if you can't afford it.

You can't always limit the guest list — like if you've got a huge family. You can, however, plan a wedding that doesn't include a dinner reception. You can do a brunch, an afternoon appetizers and drinks reception, a morning tea, etc. So then there is less spent on the food. You can do catering from a regular restaurant and have them cater big containers worth of food that you warm in rented chafing dishes, so that you're not paying the markup for wedding catering.

Thank you for these tips, sis and your hair is FIRE!!!

Your additional ideas are great, I’ve actually tried to do all of them. More money than we both thought! The Airbnb’s charge you an event fee and some charge $75 per person who will be there. Restaurant private room parties also charge thousands lowest I’ve seen is about 2500-3k for a party of 45.

Great solid advice

Omg thank you this was soooooooo helpful because I was stressed

Our rings will be around 7k together 😍🥰😘
