How Much Does a Wedding Cost?

by

Club Venetian How Much Does a Wedding Cost

Many brides and grooms ask: “How much does a wedding cost?” That’s not an easy question to answer. The average wedding in the United States in 2017 cost $25,764. The average spending per event was between $19,323 and $32,205. However, around half of all couples spent under $15,000 for their big day celebration. So how much will your wedding cost?

Know Your Wedding Budget

It’s important to remember that each wedding is just as unique as the people who plan it. There is no financial requirement for getting married. Before you begin planning, consider your financial situation and how much you can afford to spend. Do you have enough to plan the whole thing right now while covering all expenses? Can you wait longer and save up the amount needed to pay for everything you want?

Your budget will help you determine which vendors or items are a priority and which can be trimmed or limited.

How to Keep Wedding Expenses Down

There are several ways you can keep costs down and put on a spectacular event. Consider the following to save money that could help balance your wedding budget or go towards your honeymoon.

  • Ask Friends and Family to Help – Enlist the help of friends and family to take care of certain aspects of the event. For example, see if anyone will help make decorations, bartend, or assist with setup. These services usually cost extra.
  • Choose a Budget-Friendly Venue – Certain venues and locations are in-demand and will come with a higher price tag. Find a venue that offers a balance of cost and amenities.
  • Invite the People Who Really Matter – Start by inviting only the people who really matter – close friends and family. Then, if you have spending room, start inviting other people like neighbors, coworkers, and acquaintances.
  • Consider Booking During Off-Peak Times – Consider booking your event during off-peak times. For example, summer is a popular season for weddings in many areas. This can cause the cost of services and rentals to go up. Also, consider booking on a day other than Saturday.

Planning an amazing wedding without overspending is possible. Contact Club Venetian today to tour our facility and find out how much your wedding will cost at our beautiful venue.

Tips for Planning a Wedding

Club Venetian Planning a Wedding

Planning a wedding can be very stressful. That’s why every bride and groom should learn a little more about the process before they get started. The following tips will help you plan the perfect celebration.

  • Have a Guest Count Before You Book a Venue

It’s very difficult to book a venue unless you know how many people you will need it to accommodate. Put your guest list together first, so you have a good estimate. It also helps to create tiers of guests so you know who you must invite and who could be trimmed if needed.

  • Get Your Vendor Requests Ready Now for More Bargaining Power

Vendors want your booking. That means they will be more accommodating before you sign a contract. This is a good time to present any special requests. For example, if you want to extend cocktail hour, ask before you book. Vendors may be less willing to honor requests once you have committed.

  • Leave Breathing Room in Your Wedding Planning Budget

Your wedding spending shouldn’t include every penny in your budget. Finances can be a huge source of stress when planning an event. Leave breathing room just in case of surprises. Try to leave at least an additional 5% to 10% in case of problems.

  • If You Want Perfection Then You Have to Plan the Planning Phase

Yes, you have to plan out your wedding planning. This will help you stay on track and ensure everything is scheduled in the order it needs to be. The more organized you are, the smoother the process will be.

  • Learn About Marriage License Requirements Now

Each state may have different requirements for marriage licenses. Get the information for your area now so you know when you should apply for your license. It’s not the most glamorous part of planning a wedding, but it is essential.

Venues that offer catering and other services are a great way to make the process easier. Contact Club Venetian today to learn more about planning a wedding that everyone will talk about for years to come!
