  • While you’re checking out venues, keep a comparison chart. Some spots may say that everything is included in the price, but then leave out the cake and the linens, for example. Figure out where the best deal actually lies.
  • Many couples love the idea of holding their event in a public space, like a village green or a quiet corner of a local park, and these spaces are often available for low fees. Bingo! However, if a spot is not equipped to handle parties, you’ll have to figure in the costs of renting everything, from tables to flatware, and costs add up. (But these can still be great deals—just do your homework.)
  • Book one location for your ceremony and your reception. This lets you off the hook for multiple site fees AND you won’t have to provide transportation between the locations. (Hint: Guests love this arrangement, because it’s all less trouble for them.)
