Low Key and Lovely

Weddings can be expensive. This is true. However there are various ways to keep the costs lower.

Fantastic Fridays – This is becoming ever more popular. With Saturdays and Sundays being the most heavily booked, Fridays offer an opportunity to achieve lower quotes from many suppliers – Celebrants included. As a wedding is normally planned months in advance, most guests can book a day off work to attend – and they also get a long weekend as a bonus!

Midweek – A Tuesday or Wednesday can often be even more economical, as this would be the quieter time of the week for most suppliers. Worth considering if budget is important.

Mornings – If a weekend is still the preferred option, then a breakfast or a morning wedding will give you some price advantages too. It gives suppliers time to cater for 2 weddings on the 1 day, and yours would be the first!

Circumstances might dictate that now is the time you need to get married – but you haven’t had time to plan or budget for the Big Day. Perhaps it’s a visa issue if you need to travel overseas for work? Perhaps there’s an illness in the family and it would be special for that person to see you married?

There are a myriad number of reasons. Remember you can always have a small midweek, no fuss marriage ceremony – and have your Big Day later, with a Commitment Ceremony (perhaps even using the same script and words from your legal marriage ceremony).
