How to Find Affordable Country Wedding Venues in South Australia
If you are planning a rustic wedding in South Australia, you should know that many affordable spots are available. However, finding one can be difficult if you don't know where to look. Fortunately, we provide you with some tips on how to find cheap wedding venues:
1. Have a small wedding
Since venues price their services per person, you can save money by having a smaller wedding.
2. Choose a rural area
Rural areas are cheaper than urban ones. In addition, they tend to have more affordable prices since they are not as crowded.
3. Shorten your reception time
Having a shorter reception time also helps you save money since the total price is usually determined by the number of rental hours.
4. Bring your own alcohol
It's best to bring your own alcohol instead of buying expensive drinks from the bar. However, make sure that the beautiful wedding venue you choose has a valid alcohol license.
5. Ask about discounts
Most venues offer discounts to couples who book early. So, if you have a limited wedding budget, book your venue and vendors at least 6 months ahead.
6. Create a checklist to track all your tasks and spending
Creating a checklist will help you a lot since you will be able to see what to do when and how much to allocate for every item. Instead of preparing one on your own, you can use our free wedding checklist tool.
When to Start Planning Your Rustic Wedding in South Australia
Choosing a rustic location among the beautiful South Australia wedding venues is an exciting experience. But you need to start at least 6 months earlier to plan everything out properly. After you start, here are some things to think about:
1. Set up a budget
Setting up a budget will help you stay within your limits. This way, you won't end up spending too much money without knowing it.
2. Determine the location
The first step is deciding where you want to hold your rustic wedding.
3. Decide on the date
Once you decide on the location, you can move forward with choosing the date. It is important to consider the weather conditions during the year. For example, if you are holding a fall wedding, you may want to avoid rainy days.
4. Make a list of vendors
You will need to contact various vendors, including wedding caterers, florists, photographers, videographers, DJs, etc. If you already have a wedding planner or event manager, it would be better if they do this job for you.
