Updated: Aug 5


Wedding Budget

Planning your wedding is one of the most thrilling experiences of your life! However, it’s also known for being one of the most costly. If you’re working within a budget, we understand you're looking for ways to avoid sticker shock while creating your perfect day.

Each decision paints a picture of your special day, and at The Fasan Experience Event Hall, we're here to help you craft that masterpiece without breaking the bank. Here’s how you can have a beautiful, memorable wedding without breaking the bank.


Tips to Save Money : 


1.Prioritize Your Must-Haves Over Your Nice-to-Haves:

Identify the elements that matter most to you and allocate your budget accordingly. Essentials like a captivating venue, a stunning dress, and a skilled photographer should take precedence over extras.

2.Choose an Off-Peak Data :

Opt for a weekday or an off-peak season wedding to save on costs. This can also increase your chances of booking your first-choice venue and vendors.


3.DIY Where Possible:

Add a personal touch to your wedding by crafting your invitations or decorations. This approach not only saves money but also adds a unique charm to your celebration.


4.Limit the Guest List:

A smaller guest list can reduce costs and create a more intimate atmosphere. Focus on inviting those who are closest to you.

5.Order a Small Cake :

For that quintessential cake-cutting moment, opt for a beautiful one- or two-tier cake. Then, supplement it with cupcakes, cookies, pies, or a larger sheet cake (hidden in the kitchen) to ensure everyone gets a slice without breaking the bank.

6.Hire a DJ Instead of a Band:

A DJ can provide a fantastic musical experience at a lower cost than a live band. They also require less space and setup, offering flexibility for your venue layout.

7.Opt for a Buffet or Family-Style Meal:

This dining style can be more cost-effective than plated meals and creates a warm, communal atmosphere.

8.Borrow or Rent Instead of Buy:

Use borrowed or rented items to enhance your wedding without the high costs. This can include anything from your wedding dress to table settings.


9.Consider a Wedding Planner:

While it may seem like an added expense, a wedding planner can help you save money by negotiating better rates and avoiding common financial pitfalls.


10.Look for Emerging Photographers:

Seek out up-and-coming photographers who may offer more affordable rates while bringing fresh, unique perspectives to your special day.


11.Go Green with Your Wedding:

Use sustainable and locally sourced flowers and greenery, digital invitations, and plantable seed paper for wedding favors to save money and be environmentally friendly.


12.Rent Jewelry and Accessories:

Renting jewelry allows you access to high-quality pieces without the high cost of purchasing them outright.


13.Maximize Your Photographer's Time:

Discuss your vision in advance, prepare a shot list, and consider an engagement shoot to make the most of your photographer's time and ensure all desired shots are captured efficiently.


14.Print Fewer Menus Per Table:

Printing one or two menus per table can help reduce costs while still providing guests with a clear idea of the meal options.


15.Choose a Statement Glass:

Selecting a statement glass that represents your style can add a special touch to your wedding without significant expense.


16.Source Your Caterer from the Suburbs:

Suburban caterers may have lower overhead costs and offer more affordable services than those in urban areas.


17.Cut Transportation Costs:

Consider using public transportation or carpooling with family and friends to reduce transportation costs.


18.Set Up a Lounge for Less:

Repurpose furniture you already own and add affordable decorative items to create a cozy lounge area for your guests.


19.Hire Local Wedding Vendors:

Hiring vendors from your surrounding area can save on travel costs and additional fees.


20.Host a Weekday Wedding:

Weekday weddings are typically more affordable than weekend weddings.


21.Trim Your Guest List:

Revisit your guest list and trim it to include only those closest to you to save money.


22.Limit Plus Ones:

Extend plus-one invitations to married guests, those in long-term relationships, and your wedding party only.


23.Host Your Ceremony and Reception at One Place:

Choosing a venue that can host both your ceremony and reception can save on transportation and venue costs.


24.Utilize In-House Vendors:

Using referrals and inhouse vendors often offer discounts .Selecting a venue with existing features you can incorporate into your wedding design can reduce the amount of decor you need to purchase.
