First, you should set a wedding budget and determine how much you can spend on your rustic venue. Then, keep that budget in mind when searching for the perfect setting. We recommend opting for an all-inclusive package with everything you need, from a wedding photographer to decorations and food.
You can consider having a daytime event. Since most couples prefer evening receptions, you can hire your country wedding venue at discounted rates. The same also applies to the winter and weekday celebrations.
