Venues killing your budget! Home weddings are the answer:

With the rising costs of weddings, more and more couples are looking to cut costs through home weddings. However, a home wedding can be more work than you imagine and can often can end up costing more than you expect.

Catering, wedding planning and sourcing the rite suppliers can create a huge amount of pressure and stress.

 

Sure, homemade centerpieces and aunty karells floral arrangement might work, getting ideas from Pinterest and The little pink book (who we love!) are wonderful, but they don’t make a whole wedding.

In comparison to the cost of the wedding, decorations are minimal. The biggest costs are the venue food and drinks.

By having it at home, you release the cost of the venue to allow you to have more for décor, that perfect menu and a touch of class with the drinks. Trust The Imagination box – Wedding catering company in Johannesburg.

Wedding catering companies – Think about the budget, budget and budget:

Start with your budget.  You need to think about what’s realistic. If you want the biggest and best, then you cannot have a tiny budget without compromising somewhere.  Decide early what you will and won’t compromise on. When assessing quotes, be sure not to solely compare prices. This is your big day! Make sure you are comparing: service, attitude, presentation and what they are actually offering.

 

Start big and narrow it down:

There is nothing worse than indecision when it comes to planning your wedding. It will give you nightmares!  If you don’t know what you want, start with an open mind, plenty of ideas and write them all down in one document.  Ideas flow where passion shows.

 

Options’ confuse the situation:

The more people you tell your ideas the more opinions you will be given. Try select only a few trusted people to share thoughts and ideas.

 

Spread the load:

I know it’s hard, but you have to let some things go.  I suggest writing a list of everything you need to do and decide what you can hand out.  Do not allow them to make the final decision!

 

Never say never:

We all know that weddings are designed for something to go wrong.  A serious amount of pressure on one day is never a good thing.  Surround yourself with a team that will ensure that you never have to know what went wrong!

 

Work with what you’ve got:

There must be a reason you want to have your wedding at home?  Is it the trees that you love, the view, or simply the vibe your house has?  Whatever it is, use it, make the most of it. Wedding catering companies should offer bespoke menus, mobility and flair.

 

Make it your own:

Another amazing reason for having a wedding at home is that it’s different.  No one has a story about someone else’s wedding at your house, because it hasn’t happened.
