Weddings on A Budget...Option 1

For those who are working with a budget but don't want to skimp on style and class, there are a lot of creative ways you can slightly alter your plans and still have the wedding of your dreams. Over the next few weeks, I will discuss some alternative options for our Brides on a Budget.

Option #1 - Brunch Weddings
Brunch weddings are a great way to celebrate your nuptials without killing your pockets. Breakfast and lunch are definitely less expensive than dinner so typically depending on the selected venue, the cost for brunch will be significantly less than the cost of dinner. Brunch weddings can get away with a lighter bar or no bar at all since the festivities will tend to begin so early. The host can choose to have mimosas, champagne punch or just a signature drink instead of a full open bar thus saving a significant amount of money. Most banquet brunches are 4 hour affairs; however, you can elect to add additional time if you prefer.

I had the pleasure of working with Isis Petrie of Posh Events at one of her weddings and I loved it. The look, feel and excitement was exactly the same. The menu was superb and gave the guests a lot to choose from. The only thing that was different is that the menu was a combination of breakfast and lunch foods, it was still light outside once things concluded and I actually had the rest of the day to do something else. I also fell in love with the venue. I loved it so much that I recommended to one of my clients!!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so having a Brunch Wedding is simply an awesome idea. Once the Bride and Groom are done, they can elect to have an after party or get a jump start on being ready for the honeymoon.

Something to consider!!
