Money-saving tips from Suffolk wedding expert

Money-saving tips from Suffolk wedding expert: Image 1

Getting hitched doesn't have to break the bank; it is possible to have a wonderful wedding and stay on budget.

Conference and events manager at leading Suffolk wedding venue Ufford Park Woodbridge Evangeline Wells says, "If your budget is the only thing standing between you and your dream day; a little ingenuity will go a long way towards bridging the gap between your bank balance and the wedding you have your heart set on."

She advises:
Firstly, shop around. Compare prices while weighing up value for money against quality.

Speak to friends, search through wedding magazines and social media and ask people for recommendations. Not only will you get a sense of what's out there, but this is also a good opportunity to gather ideas and look for money-saving alternatives.

Try to work out what areas are worth cutting back on and which are best left to the professionals. In my experience the wedding cake is a job for an expert and by serving it as dessert you can cut down the cost of the wedding breakfast. A professional photographer is also a sound investment, after all you want your photos to last a lifetime. However, do your research and see if they offer any special packages.

Think about the date and time of your wedding. Some venues offer last-minute packages that can work out cheaper. At Ufford Park Woodbridge, we currently have a late-availability wedding package for £2,999 which is proving popular. You could also consider opting for a Thursday or Friday wedding instead of a primetime Saturday slot or tie the knot later in the day so you don't have to feed your guests twice.
