But make sure you balance practicality with looks and feel. If the ideal location is a remote farmers shack in rural Norway, your guests might not be too keen on having to camp!<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of venue options, including venues that have wedding all-inclusive packages. These will sort decorations and catering all for you (at a cost), making it all a much more stress-free situation. Or you can go for the empty shell, blank canvas scenario and put your stamp over the whole venue. This can be a cheaper and much more creative option. There are lots of options in-between these extremes, including churches that can do both ceremony and reception, temporary locations like marquees, and foreign venues to really spice things up.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"3700\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/ultimate-wedding-budget-guide\/wedding\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"wedding\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?fit=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?fit=770%2C481&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3700\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding.jpeg?resize=770%2C481&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C640&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C480&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1280&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=370%2C231&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=270%2C169&amp;ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=570%2C356&amp;ssl=1 570w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=740%2C463&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?resize=320%2C200&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/encoremusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wedding-scaled.jpeg?w=2310&amp;ssl=1 2310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Finding the right venue is usually the first thing couples aim to tick off their list<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catering-Food-and-Drink\"><\/span><strong><a id=\"catering\"><\/a>Catering (Food and Drink)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How much does wedding catering cost?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Average cost: \u00a35000-\u00a36000<\/li>\n<li>Lowest cost: \u00a32000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This takes everyone by surprise.

But remember the total cost of this depends on how many guests you have.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional way to go is a three-course sit-down meal, with service. Many catering companies will offer customisable packages to make it personal to you. But if you want to keep costs down, try exploring more unconventional options like food vans or all you can eat buffets. This can keep your guests entertained <em>and<\/em> well-fed.

It&#8217;s super exciting to be able to relive the day with your loved ones by watching videos. But do remember, it&#8217;s much easy to look back through photos and put them up around the house&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A cheaper option would be to get friends and family to take videos throughout the day and compile them yourself.

There are so many options for wedding dresses it can be hard to start. But the best way to begin is just to go for it. You will quickly find which styles suit you and which are straight in the &#8216;nope!&#8217; category. Wedding dress fittings can be a great way to find your ideal style, if not the actual dress itself.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget second-hand dresses can be a great option.
