Off-Season Wedding Receptions Are Affordable And Beautiful

The most popular time for a wedding is during the summer. Having an outdoor element to a wedding is one of the most important factors for a lot of couples, which is why the summer months are packed across most of the country. To ensure you get the destination you desire for your wedding may mean a lot of advance planning. In some instances, it could be years before the church you’ve always dreamed of being in married in is available.

What most brides don’t know is there’s a much easier way to make sure your wedding is the fairytale you always dreamed it would be. Book your wedding reception during an off-season month. This means in places like Arizona, you would book your wedding during the summer when the heat kicks in, or head to the mountains during spring and summer when tourist towns are on hiatus after the winter season.

You should give as much consideration to where you want to have your wedding as you do to when you want to have your wedding. If summer is what you want, consider warmer states like Arizona, Florida and other southern states. With misters, you can still have a portion of the day outside, maybe cocktail hour. If you are set on a place but don’t care about the season, start calling around to find out when their busy season starts and ends and book around it.

Vendors and venues both drop prices after their busy season. They are interested in booking business year-round, but they understand that the wedding industry isn’t steady year-round venture. More people are open to price negotiation in the off-season.

Just like wedding locations, you can also find a good price on wedding dresses if you’re okay wearing last season’s dress or a dress that has gone out of production. When stores stock up on new dresses in the spring and fall, they need to clean out the older stock to make room and this is where the deals come in.

While you may be able to get a dress for a lot less at this time of year, the variety may not be as vast as during popular seasons. Just like any retail store, during the lean times of the year, they tend to carry less stock. The more they have that doesn’t sell, the more they have to discount when new lines come in. Also remember that it takes months to get a dress made and fitted, so be sure to calculate that into your schedule.

Airfare is another cost that can be prohibitive in a wedding. If you are having a destination wedding or have guests flying in, think about a wedding during seasons that airfare drops. Around the holidays airfare is going to skyrocket, but in the off seasons, airfare will come way down and be a lot more affordable for travelers.

There is nothing stopping you from having the wedding of your dreams at a reasonable price. All you need is a little flexibility and creativity and you will be saying ‘I do,’ at your wedding reception before you know it.
