Reception Venues for a
Cheap Wedding Reception

For the spring or summer seasons or you live in a state that has great weather all year round, consider having your wedding and reception outside and at the same location. There are a lot of ways to have a cheap wedding reception outdoors like renting a pavilion through your local parks and recreation department or having your reception in your own backyard.

If you're having a smaller reception, many bed and breakfasts are perfect romantic wedding locations and cheap wedding reception sites as well. They offer very affordable packages for the special couple who is having a smaller romantic ceremony and reception.

Check out the Harvest Moon if you're in the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania. Their backyard grounds make an ideal setting for smaller ceremonies.

Another option that's becoming more popular for reception venues when planning low budget weddings is the backyard wedding reception where you can make it as big or small as your imagination (or space) will allow and still keep it low budget. Backyards are perfect ceremony and cheap wedding reception options whether you're going for a more casual or even traditional ceremony.

If you live in or have friends or relatives in the Berks or Lehigh County areas, stop by the Lavender Lace Tea Rooms & Blue Butterfly Catering for an affordable yet beautifully elegant venue for a small wedding and reception.

And if you can find a hall that offers on-site catering including the bar, you'll wipe two more contacts off your To Do list by having everything catered on-site with liquor and beer choices already at the hall. The fire halls may even come in with a better quote than a local caterer.

The Friendship Room at The Friendship Hook & Ladder Company is where my husband and I are having our entire event with the ceremony right on site.

And they're providing the catering services and liquor, all at a cost that's a perfect fit!

There are a lot of other cheap wedding reception options for reception venues to look into also, so if you shop early you can find the best deal on rates and availability.

Finding where to hold your perfect event even on a small budget isn't impossible. You just need to start and plan early.
