11 Ways to Save on Wedding Expenses
By Bill Knight / August 15, 2016Weddings are expensive. The average wedding now costs over $25,000, and it can be argued that weddings are for the guests. The bride and groom hardly have time to enjoy themselves. There are numerous ways to minimize the expense of a wedding without detracting from the enjoyment. The keys are to think outside the box and prioritize.
Cut your wedding expenses and save money:
- Book a venue that will allow you to choose your own vendors. Many venues require that you use their catering, bartender, and DJ. When you’re limited to a single option, that option is never the least expensive. You probably know a bartender and a weekend-warrior DJ that could provide their services much more cheaply than those offered by the venue.
- Your priorities might be good food and music. Another couple might prefer a fancy reception location
