Buy Wholesale: Plan Your Wedding Reception on a Budget

Planning a wedding can be very expensive, and in most cases the greatest expense is the wedding reception. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and of course everything must be perfect. When it comes to planning the wedding reception, sometimes things tend to go over budget. Having your reception at a banquet center can be very costly. The average banquet center charges about $75-$100 per person, maybe even more depending on your menu selection and if you want to have an open bar.

There are several alternatives to having such an expensive wedding reception at a banquet hall. The first thing you will want to do is count the number of guests and children that will be attending. Although everyone should RSVP, it doesn't always work out that way. The next thing you will want to do is decide where you would like to have your wedding reception. Having your wedding reception at the church in their dining room or renting a hall for the day will save you up to 60% off of the price of a banquet hall.

Having your reception at the church immediately after your wedding can be a great idea. The only expense that you will have is hiring the caterer, decorations, table cloths and centerpieces for the table. Having your reception catered will only cost you about $12-$40 per person depending on your menu selection. For weddings, most catering companies will serve the meal on beautiful china and have beautiful glass ware and center pieces. If you choose to have you reception at your church, for the toast you can use sparkling apple cider instead of champagne.

If you want alcohol at you wedding reception, then the next best option would be to rent a hall. Renting a hall general is not very expensive plus, you will have it for the whole day. This is a great way to go, because this will allow you to purchase your on liquor and have an open bar, and you can hire a bartender and a DJ for the evening. There will already be tables and chairs, all you will need to do is decorate the hall, in which they will allow you to do so the day before.

The hall will also have a kitchen, so your caters will still be able to come in and set-up. Although, for weddings the caters will usually provide the china, glass ware, linen and center pieces for the table, you can save even more by providing your own.
