Wedding Planning on a Budget: Affordable Wedding Venues
You likely already know that weddings in the U.S. are a multi-billion-dollar industry, but did you know that in 2022, there were over 6,000 weddings every day? The average Kentucky couple spends approximately $20,000 on their nuptials, but you don't have to. Affordable wedding venues are closer than you may think!
How Much do Wedding Venues Cost
The average wedding venue costs $11,200, and most couples designate a large portion of their budget to their wedding venue. It may feel like there's no way to save on your venue costs, but with the right mindset, you and your spouse-to-be can find a dream location that doesn't break the bank.
Choose an All-inclusive Venue
Many venues boast low pricing, which is fantastic, but before you settle on a venue, inquire about any additional fees. A reception venue may have chairs and tables on-site, but there is an extra cost to use them. Furthermore, there may even be added costs to have them set up. The same goes for linens, decor, and even additional rooms, like getting ready spaces for the couple and wedding party.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of every fee and additional charge not included in the standard rental price. It may feel like you're getting a fantastic deal only to discover that the space you fell in love with is outside your budget.
You won't be surprised by hidden fees or charges by opting for an all-inclusive wedding venue like The Barn at Belle Hills. We believe in the adage, "What you see is what you get," which is why every rental includes:
- Up to 500 padded chairs.
- Enough tables for your guests.
- Access to a host of on-site amenities.
Book during the off-season or a weekday
Peak wedding season is typically from late spring to early fall, with June and September being the busiest months. Because of such high demand, wedding venues (and almost every other wedding vendor) price at an upcharge during those months. These prices increase even more if you're getting hitched on a Friday or Saturday, the most popular days of the week to get married.
To keep costs down, consider getting married in the off-season, on a weekday, or even on a holiday. Many venues offer more competitive packages during the winter and earlier in the week to keep business booming year-round. Ask about off-season and weekday pricing during your tour of the venue! Your wedding guests will also enjoy attending a winter or late fall wedding, as they likely have fewer other commitments to attend. It's good news all around!
