Book your entire wedding online and save thousands 

by James

Whilst the average cost of a wedding has now reached a whopping £20,000, anyone who has organised a wedding lately will know that large proportions of that actual figure are areas where a customer could save money if they wanted to. With dedicated wedding planners, wedding venues who offer an all in one package and venues, marquee firms and catering companies who all dedicate all of their time and effort to making as much money as they can out of people getting married, it’s not surprising that people can end up spending an awful lot of money on their big day.

For those people who don’t have £20,000 to spend on their wedding, or would rather spend less and put the extra towards a house deposit, the internet is your friend. Like car insurance, food shopping, electrical items and holidays, you too can shop around online to put together the perfect wedding, for a fraction of the cost of the average wedding.

Your first port of call will be a venue, which you’ll very quickly find can vary in price substantially. Don’t mention the word wedding, and you’ll instantly find that quotes cost half, or a third of the cost of a dedicated wedding venue. You just need a venue you can hire, and don’t need to worry about anything in it.

You can then organise the furniture for the venue, and this is where companies like Online Furniture Hire can really help. They allow you to hire wedding furniture for the weekend of your wedding, at a fraction of the price that you would be charged by a dedicated venue. They’ll even deliver it the day before, and pick it up the day after, and all of their tables can be accompanied with table clothes, and napkins, which you don’t need to worry about washing afterwards.

You can also choose the size and number of tables and chairs to suit you, and don’t have to work around the venues existing tables, giving you complete flexibility over your day. You then just need to book caterers, a mobile bar company, and someone to dress the venue, and you can even consider making table centres yourself. You’ll find you have got a reception venue organised online, for a fraction of the price of going to a dedicated venue and paying thousands of pounds for the privilege.
