Wedding Reception Ideas
The wedding reception usually accounts for 30% or more of your wedding budget. Most wedding receptions are so expensive due to the fact of providing meals, decorations, hall rentals etc. There are, however, ways to reduce these expenses. We've included a few cost-cuttin ideas below. You can get a lot more by downloading our free collection of Tips to Cutting Wedding Costs.
Wedding Reception Themes
Reception themes allow people to get creative with their celebration and express themselves. People often choose to base their themes on hobbies, personal interests, and dreams. It can be very costly to host a reception. That is why the majority of your wedding budget is spent on it. Themes help to cut the costs because you can choose to use a casual theme that doesn’t require a great deal of extras. Choosing themes like beach themes, Mexican fiestas, or toga party is simple and the food is cheap and easy. Take a look at some more themes to lessen the cost of your reception.
When it comes to themes, the possibilities are endless. Coming up with them can be much of the fun. After you have chosen your theme, you can brainstorm ideas to expand upon it for the decorations and foods.
Wedding Reception Location Rental
Reserve your reception hall. Halls book up quickly with not only wedding, but also anniversaries, fundraisers, etc. book your hall early to guarantee your date will be available.
When meeting with banquet manager/coordinator for the first time, consider the following:
- Are their extra costs (gratuity, tax on food, etc.), if having bar service gets a break down on prices and gratuity?
- Ask about what is included in the room fee. There may be items included that you may have thought you would have to pay for separately.
- Inquire about deposits and payment details
- Find out when you can decorate.
- Find out if the facility has decorations to rent to save you money
- Ask about your allotted time frame for your room so you can coordinate with your other vendors (videographer, photographer, DJ, etc.)
- Ask your facility coordinator for their help. They do receptions almost every weekend throughout the year and have much experience on what works well and what does not
- Ask for recommendations for videographers, photographers, DJs, florists, cakes, transportation, etc. Facility coordinators work alongside many other vendors and are a great source to make recommendations for other vendors.
