Your wedding day will likely be one of the most memorable (and expensive) days of your life. Fortunately, there are ways to realize your dream wedding without breaking the bank, even at High Point’s top wedding and events venue. Here are a few ways to stay within your wedding budget while wedding planning at The Loft in High Point, NC.
BUDGET-FRIENDLY WEDDING PLANNING TIPS
When hosting your big day at The Loft, consider the following wedding planning tips to help keep your event within budget.
-
DIY Invitations
On average, wedding invitations roughly cost around $200, from the design to the stamps. However, several wedding websites offer electronic wedding invitations for a significantly reduced cost. Or you can design and print your own invites for free.
-
Limit Flowers and Décor
While you may want to decorate your wedding to match your style, it can quickly rack up costs. To save money on florals or decorations, look at in-season blooms and search for décor at craft stores. Inexpensive decorations like candles, paper lanterns and twinkling lights are just as effective décor options.
-
Creative Catering
Catering is often a large part of your wedding budget, but it’s also one of the easiest to amend. When you’re wedding planning, look for alternatives to a seated, plated dinner, such as buffets, hors d’oeuvres or family-style stations. To help you provide for your guests, The Loft partners with several approved local caterers that offer on-budget menu options and drink packages.
-
Rethink Photos and Favors
Instead of hiring a photographer or videographer to document the entire night, encourage your guests to take pictures and video throughout the evening with their devices then add them to a shared album online. Wedding favors are another item that are often overbudgeted and unnecessary.
-
Look for Discounts
No matter the category, there’s a chance your wedding supplier will offer you some sort of discount. The Loft is no exception. We offer a 5% discount for military, first responders, law enforcement and teachers, while High Point Business Chamber members and nonprofits can receive 10% off their rental.
-
Choose the Right Space and Date
The Loft offers several distinct spaces to host a wedding of any size, including the spacious Pine Room, rustic Linen Room or intimate Silk Room. To maximize your budget, look for wedding dates during the off-season or outside of peak days like weekends and holidays.
