Add your VendorHow can we find cheap wedding venues in Melbourne?
A budget-friendly wedding in Melbourne is possible if you are willing to work hard and be creative. There are many ways to save money on your wedding day without compromising quality or style. Here are some tips to help you plan an affordable wedding.
1. Choose a small venue.
If you are planning a small intimate wedding, look for a place that will cost less than $10 per person. If you want something more elaborate, consider looking at venues with a smaller capacity. This way, you’ll only need to pay the price per head of guests attending your wedding ceremony and reception.
2. Ask for discounts.
Ask the venue manager about their discount policy. You may be able to get a special rate by having a winter wedding. Or, you can have a mid-week brunch event instead of a Saturday evening reception.
3. Don't forget about catering.
Wedding catering is one of the most expensive parts of any celebration. However, there are ways to cut down costs here. Choose a buffet instead of a sit-down meal. Buffets usually include appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts.
4. Have a DIY wedding.
You could also opt for a DIY wedding. This means that you would handle everything yourself. The good thing about this option is that you can save lots of money by doing things yourself. For example, you could rent furniture instead of buying new ones. You could even make your own decorations and invitations.
5. Opt for all-inclusive wedding packages.
Most Melbourne wedding venues offer flexible packages that you can customise according to your needs and wishes. From a wedding car to wedding cake cutting, you can find everything you need for your wedding reception and ceremony in these packages at an affordable price.
6. Consider a second-hand wedding dress.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a designer wedding gown, why not go for a second-hand wedding dress. These dresses are often sold at bargain prices. They might not be as stylish as a brand-name wedding gown, but they will definitely fit your budget.
What services are included in cheap wedding packages in Melbourne?
If you want to get married in Melbourne, you should know about the different types of wedding packages available. You can include many things in these packages, such as venue hire, catering, wedding photographers, videography, flowers, invitations, etc. These are some of the things that you should consider while choosing a package.
To cut costs considerably and still have a complete wedding, look for a package covering all aspects of your wedding day. It should include everything from the affordable venue hire fee to the floral arrangements, exceptional service and complimentary decorations.
What questions should we ask when searching for affordable wedding venues in Melbourne?
To find an affordable wedding venue, you'll need to ask the right questions. Luckily we've listed the most important questions to bring with you on your search for the perfect location that fits your wedding budget:
- How far is the venue from the city centre?
- How many wedding celebrations do you host on the same day?
- Is there enough parking for our wedding guest list?
- Are there any hidden costs?
- Does the price differs for daytime weddings and evening receptions?
- Are the venue hire prices lower in the offpeak season?
- Do you offer an individual room hire option, or do we need to rent the entire venue?
- Are you an all-in-one wedding venue? Can we have our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony here as well?
- What is the max person capacity?
- Can we bring our own alcohol?
- Are there any decor and noise restrictions?
