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.
For your dress, you can rent one or buy a second-hand gown. Instead of a sit-down dinner, consider renting a food truck offering delicious fast food, such as hotdogs, pizza, hamburgers etc. Additionally, you can cut down on transportation costs by having your ceremony and reception at the location.
Last but not least, don't forget to ask what services are included in the final price. Is there a cutting fee for your wedding cake? Is onsite parking free? And many other details.
