Wedding planning

My main tip is to get a wedding planner if you are feeling overwhelmed. If that’s not possible follow the checklist on this website and the budget tool. If the venues are too expensive then maybe think outside the box. Public government venues are usually more affordable. Parks, court houses, community centers, etc. If someone has a big enough backyard you could do a very nice backyard wedding, however I think backyard weddings are hard to make look really nice unless you have someone who knows what they’re doing. Maybe push your wedding date to give yourself more time to plan/save if needed.
