Stop looking at prices and start looking at venues. \n\nVenue 1 might be £800 but it doesn't offer what you are looking for whilst venue 2 may be only 25 quid but has what you want!\n\nList what you DO want and then start looking, and while you're checking out venues refer to your list often. \n\nDon't be sidetracked by fancy lighting or the offer of free balloons or other such trivia that isn't even on your list!\n\nFocus on what you want - and don't be afraid to negotiate. Owner may well say they want more money than they are actually prepared to accept!\n\nIn the end - get the closest to your ideal venue for the closest to you ideal price - and have a wonderful wedding day.

Do you mean questions from customers & clients?  If so, expect everything, even things you wouldn't imagine.  I kid you not, these questions are all over the map!\n\n--Can I bring my dog to the ceremony?\n--Can the favorite motorcycle be at the head table?\n--Where can we "park" the carriage horses while we dance?\n--Can you find that Swiss wine my Aunt Jill served 2yrs ago\n--Can you arrange a minister in the banquet hall?\n--Will you install a pool table for our bash?\n--Is there a babysitter for the children?\n--Can we have sandboxes for the kids birthday party?\n--and so on, etc., and jada, jada, jada!!!

First pick a day! then find you Pastor,Justice of the pease,Who ever you are going to have Marry you! That is usually the hardest part to get set.Make sure they are available the day that you want. Marrige license tend to expire within 60 days I think so figure that into the day you have set with your "Pastor".Week days are cheeper if your going for an inside wedding/reception.Out side is even cheeper. We did out side.Do you have or want a theme? Example: Hawaiian Theme go to Oriental Trading on line,it is a part/novelty company they have tons of party supplys in bulk. Based on you theme/ colors what kind of dress. In our wedding that was the most expencive.My bride's maids agreed to buy there own dresses,they actually had fun picking out matching dresses. We bought shirts for the Grooms men (We Know Guys)If you want it done right do it your self. and who knows what they would have came back with! any way...\nCake I did my own cake. 3 teirs white and chocolate. White frosting.My frosting recipe(feel lucky!) Mix powdered sugar and unsalted butter and only a table spoon of vanilla with about a cup of milk.Awsome frosting!The rest could be purchased at a rental place near you based on how much you are ready to spend. A big rental place is usually good about helping with number of guests and how far you can go on your budget. This is all if you choose to do an out doors wedding.\nHopefully I have been helpful.

Weddings are way out of hand!  They can cost a normal person{not rich}  $25,000.00 .....  are you kidding me or what?   I want a party that will go on for a freaking month for that much money.  I think I'd rather have a nice ceremony, with a rockin' party and the cost would be only 3 or 4 thousand dollars.  It is a waste to spend so much.

I just finished planning a long island wedding and girl do I feel your pain. Very expensive!  It depends on how many people your going to invite and to be honest, maybe doing it at home is the best idea if you have the space.  There is the polish american club in port jeff that is very affordable to rent out, the setauket house which is very nice and some what affordable http://www.setauketneighborhoodhouse.com/  Renting a hall and catering food with decorations and everything is probably going to cost you at least 2000 making your own food will help a lot.  Good luck! and Congrats!

you should start with an idea of how much you can spend\n\nstyle of wedding, then how many people you want there, dress, flowers, church/site for ceremony, licenses, reception rental, tips, food, drinks, permits, favours, invitations, etc\n\nthere are lots of things that need to be accounted for, you should check out some web sites to give you hints of all the things to budget for

This is hard not knowing what kind of workshop you are trying to set up.  However there are some basic 101 things that you can do.  Direct mail ..show that this is a formal workshop and note the hours the instructors their qualifications ..let them call or email to RSVP..very official stuff.  Or you can make fliers with a promotion..offer door prizes (get a local business to sponser in exchange for marketing) or say "1st 50 people get in FREE" people will go if its free.  Call up local pastors and explain that you have a workshop for ________ wanted to invite members of their church to come can you have about 10 min to address the church..promise to donate money to the church.  Also you can speak at local college or forum let them know there is a workshop for _______ and let them know of the incentives if they come.  People will only attend if they know there is something in there for them...knowlege..free drinks (after the event)...free food...prizes (like a $1000 drawing).

The trick is to set up distinct areas, sort of like outdoor "rooms".\n\nWill you have a tent for the reception?  Set it up where you will have your backs to it for the ceremony so it isn't in the background.  This will make it clear where to go after the ceremony.\n\n Use a wedding arch to attract attention to the "altar".\n\nUse your program to guide guests after the ceremony-"You are welcome to mingle in the flower garden with drinks" for example--this gives you an escape to have photos taken while they are distracted (go where they can't walk over...it makes it a pain in the butt when they do and the photog is trying to work!)\n\n Bring "indoor" elements outside--plaster pedestals (find at Michaels or Hobby Lobby) can mark the aisle and you can put arrangements on top.  Use easels with elegant signs (maybe large photos of you) to direct traffic.\n\nYou can often rent small tents and even gazebos.  I've also seen people make backdrops out of silky fabric draped between two tall sheppherd's hooks.\n\nFor the reception, spreading the tables out with luminaries illuminating the path in between them would be romantic if it is a nice evening.  Use lots of candles!\n\nHang paper lanterns from the trees in certain areas to guide people to those areas after dark (we did this and it was lovely)\n\nMake sure you have "bouncers".  I can see potential problems with wedding crashers.\n\nAlso, be sure to clear parking arrangements and noise management with the neighbors-nobody wants the cops busting their wedding!  I've heard of people who paid for neighbors to stay in a hotel for the night so they aren't bothered.

I got married in Branson too and there is the sweetest little wedding church  (it is just for weddings) where we got married. It has been moved to another location (it is now on F hwy). It is a log church and just perfect for a small wedding. Try to look up wedding chapels on google or ask info about it from the operator.\nI was married there 15 years ago in November and have been so happy. \nBest Wishes!

if either yourself, or one of your family, belongs to a church, that could be a nice wide open area. Most churches have an area for social gatherings. If you explain your situation, I'm sure something could be arranged for no, or a small fee. certainly less than chucky cheese type prices. then all you need is a couple packs of 99cent kool-aid for drinks, and ask all your family that's comes to bring a covered dish for food purposes. I hope this helps, me, my wife, and my mother all had a good ten min discussion on this question hoping to help a 7 yr old have a great birthday!!

anwhere above $45 or so.  I guess it depends on the venue though.

check out this website:\n\nwww.confetti.co.uk they have lots of ideas about keeping the cost down.  I am sorry I can't advise on a venue for a cheap wedding in the UK but this site gave me lots of ideas on how to do a beautiful wedding on a tight budget.\n\nThe greatest expense is the venue hire and catering, is there any way you could have this at home or at a friend's house?  Ask someone who has a back garden that you could perhaps use if the weather is good.  Instead of gifts, ask your guests to bring a food item for a buffet, or ask them to make 5 fairy cakes each and then stack them up as your wedding cake.  Borrow a dress or hire one.  Make your own invites.  Keep the flowers simple, perhaps 3 cala lilly stems, they look very elegant and simple.  Scatter rose petals over the tables instead of having centre pieces, or use balloons, they are cheap and readily available.

Although I live in OH, I'm not familiar with that area...with that in mind...\n\nHow about looking up wineries that surround you?  See if they have some sort of vineyard where the ceremony could be held and whether or not they have any reception space.  \n\nWhat about someones house?  Mom or dad?  My wedding is going to host 120 people and we rented a tent for the backyard.  The ceremony is going to be immediate family only within the tent and then on to the party!\n\nTry looking up well known gardens in your area.  We have one around here, but I didn't want to go from this place to that place.  \n\nCheck out the website www.theknot.com.  You can go under the caption real weddings and look up outdoor weddings for examples.  You can also go state specific and get recommendations.\n\nGood luck!

I don't know where your family lives in NC, but you can look for local parks or lakes.  I know where I am, we have a city lake that allows wedding ceremonies and all you pay for is a day pass, which I don't think costs more than $100.  Then you can rent out a park to have the reception.  Check with the City Hall where your family lives.

Start planning the basics now like what hall you have in mind and what church. start looking around at prices and churches might need to book a bit in advance. Just take your time and  check out all the details. Before you know it the big day will be here. And because you have taken your time and planned out everything to go off with out a hitch it will be the best day.\n\n The bridal shower should be 6 months before the wedding date.\n\nStart discussing with your fiancee what you both really want in this wedding and fix a budget. Colours and themes and stuff
