Looking for wedding venues that are naturally cheaper than the typical wedding venue? There are a wide variety of stunning settings that are perfect for those planning a wedding on a budget. Generally, the venues that are most likely to offer cheap weddings are pubs and restaurants, hotels and village halls. Many of these are gorgeous locations that have a down-to-earth and intimate feel. Many of the more typical and exclusive-use wedding locations such as rustic barns and country houses will also have great last minute wedding deals that can make your wedding more affordable.
Your wedding venue and catering spend will account for the vast majority of your wedding budget. So, it is the natural place to look to save as choosing a budget friendly wedding venue will help you save money on your wedding. For a very quick and reliable way to save money on your wedding, choose a wedding date that is outside of the summer wedding season and go for a midweek wedding date. You're sure to find some amazing deals on venue hire when you do this.
Another great way to save money on your venue hire is by planning your wedding within a much shorter time frame. Even the most luxurious venues want to fill their diaries, so if you find a venue that has last-minute availability (usually within 6 months of the wedding), then you are likely to get a great deal on price or packages that give you more for your money. Search venues by availability here.
FAQs About Affordable Wedding Venues
Yes, not every wedding venue costs the earth to hire and many of the most beautiful wedding locations are affordable. Every wedding venue is different, but the most common styles that are budget friendly include hotels, pubs and village halls.
There are two ways to guarantee you'll save money on your wedding venue. The first is choosing an off-peak and / or midweek wedding date. Weddings in the winter months are less popular and therefore costs are usually cheaper. The other way to save money is by keeping your guest list short, especially if the venue includes food and drink in their wedding packages. The less people you invite, the less you need to spend on catering and decor.
In the UK, the cheapest months to choose for your wedding are generally January, February and November. If you choose a wedding in these months, you are more likely to find winter wedding deals and save money on the cost of hiring a wedding venue (which is one of the biggest expenses for couples).
In most cases, the cheapest days of the week to get married on are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The closer you get to the weekend, the higher the cost of venue hire tends to be. Wedding venues also often have mid-week wedding deals in place that can give you more for your money or help you save on key costs.
