The average cost of a wedding in MN is nearly $24,000! Keeping a wedding on budget
can be very difficult. We’ll let you in on a few secrets that will help make your money
go farther on your big day!
1.) Most vendors give “off-season discounts.” Consider a wedding in November through May. You’ll be amazed!
2.) Most vendors will also give a discount for non-Saturday weddings. Fridays are the new Saturday, and often a fraction of the cost!
3.) Hors d’ oeuvres instead of a sit down meal? It’s trendy, and less expensive!
4.) Avoid planning around holidays. Though vendors may have more availability, rates will be higher.
5.) Plan your budget to include gratuities. These are often overlooked, and will considerably affect your budget after the big night!
6.) Hire vendors like DJs, Photographers, and Florists who specialize in their field. They may be slightly more expensive at first glance, but in the long run will save you money on last minute changes or missing details.
Hiring a wedding coordinator to save you money sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes you have to spend a little to save a LOT. Once you’ve set a budget, a wedding coordinator will work with you and his/her network of preferred vendors to make your dreams come true within your budget.
