Last Minute Wedding Venues
Posted by Patti Wellington on Mon, May 17, 2010 @ 08:45 AM
Many wedding couples spend up to a year and a half planning for thier wedding. What happens if you decide to to have your wedding on short notice? Finding vendors would definitely be one of the biggest challenges, but not impossible. Here are some tips on how to find a wedding venue that will still make your big day perfect:
Friends or Relatives Homes
Think of all the people you know and then try and think - does anyone have a beautiful backyard/garden that could be used as the perfect backdrop for your wedding? Not only would this provide a beautiful spot, but cetainly be a more cheaper alternative to renting an area, helping out the wedding budget.
Restaurants
Many restarurants have small (sometimes private) areas that can be used for your wedding service - and the greatest part would be going to a small reception immidiately after, making this an efficient use of your time. Looking to try and save a little money on the reception? Reception locations are much more flexible and negotiable when you book your wedding reception during non-peak months (and hours).
Parks
If you look around your area, you may notice that there is an abundance of parkland areas that may be very suitable to exchange your wedding vows, with nature providing a great natural setting for your wedding. Contact your local authorities to see if they allow them and what their rules are to hold your wedding there.
In addition to the above suggestions, I suggest doing some online research for available last minute wedding venues. Don’t assume that all the prime spots have already been snapped up, as some popular wedding locations may have available slots due to cancellations or simply un-booked dates.
