Wedding Venues: Budget Pros & Cons

Your choice of a wedding venue will be among the first decisions you make—and cost and budget will play a big role. Depending on a number of variables, including location and size, expect a wide range of prices. (All wedding venue ideas mentioned here are approximate.)

According to Cheryl Beitler and Dale Flam of the Zanadu Group in Hollywood, Florida, a tent wedding may run about $4,500 for your main tent and about $600 more for a cook tent. For a loft space or a private estate, they say, you’ll fork over $4,000 to $10,000, while a catering hall may range anywhere from $500 to $4,000. Hotel ballroom packages vary greatly, but the amount you pay is usually all-inclusive. For a private home, you should expect to have many of the same additional expenses as you would for a tent wedding.

The chart below will help you in picking out low cost venues on a budget.
