Cheap Wedding Venues in Glasgow

There are many cheap wedding venues in Glasgow and the surrounding area. The reasons for couples wanting to find a cheap wedding venue may be varied. Some couples want to spend the bulk of their savings on their honeymoon, whilst others want to invest more in their new home rather than a lavish celebration that will be over in a day. Many couples take out a loan to pay for their big day, but for others this is simply not an option and they look for a solution that lies within their budget.

Wedding receptions really don’t have to break the bank. There are many options open to you that you might want to consider if you are looking for a budget wedding venue in Glasgow.

Some Suggestions to Find that Budget Wedding Venue in Glasgow

Have a budget and stick to it.

Plan you wedding meticulously. Be prepared to negotiate with wedding suppliers and professionals and be sure you get the best price for the service you want.

You might want to consider holding the wedding ceremony venue and the reception at the same venue. You’ll cut down a lot with costs if you do, as well as reducing stress levels travelling between the two.

Try scheduling your wedding in the off season. You will be able to negotiate a far better deal if you get married in the winter months with November and January being generally quieter times for many venues. It may also be cheaper in mid-week as opposed to say a Saturday.

Without a doubt you are more likely to find cheaper venues in the surrounding area around Glasgow. That’s not to say there aren’t venues that may be suitable in the city centre itself, but they are likely to be fewer in number.

Why not look for small intimate venues that can only accommodate small numbers of guests. Saying that you want to marry in such a venue means you can reduce guest numbers and hence the cost, drastically, without offending people too much.

On this line of thinking you may try and seek out venues that don’t advertise as a wedding venue per say. Some small venues such as restaurants make ideal wedding reception locations and are often more than willing to accommodate you for a good price. The large traditional venues are always in great demand and as such can generally name their price so should probably be avoided.

Again on this theme why not look out for newly launched businesses that will be ready to negotiate on price just to get the business and gain reputation.

Why not have your wedding reception in your own or a friend’s back garden? Be careful however because if you start hiring a marquee and furniture along with catering and all the equipment needed, the costs quickly mount up.

Of course you can also think about other things apart from the venue itself.

The bride might consider wearing a formal evening gown as opposed to a wedding dress. By simply calling it a ‘wedding dress’ suppliers can almost name their price for a dress which would cost a fraction otherwise.

· Select in season flowers, they will be cheaper. Consider using single flowers instead of bouquets if you feel comfortable with this.

· Do your own hair and make-up and ask family and friends to drive you around for the day.

· Not hiring a professional photographer may be a false economy. If a family member or friend is taking the photos or the videos you might regret it later unless you are certain they will do a good job. You might be better to take the most basic package of a professional after having shopped around for the best deal.

Without doubt the single largest expense for a couple on their wedding day is the wedding venue and reception costs.
