A step-by-step guide to making a budget you can stick to

We’ve already talked about how much a wedding costs, discussed why weddings are so expensive , and given you tips on how to save money on your big day. But do you actually know how to work out your wedding budget? Some couples pluck a figure out of the sky. Others bury their head in the sand entirely. And some couples have a working figure based on what they either have saved or feel happy to spend, but they never really know if it’s realistic. So today, we’re sharing our step-by-step guide to working out your wedding budget – and sticking to it!

1. Work Out How Much You Can Afford to Spend (And How Much You’re Happy To Spend, Too!)

This might seem like a straightforward step, but there are a few things to remember:

• No matter how much or how little money you have, a wedding can be a huge financial expense and the last thing you want is anxiety, ill-feeling, or regret about how much you spent after the fact. So before you part with a penny, find a figure you’re happy to live with spending on your big day.
• Lots of newly-engaged couples tell us that they have no idea how much a wedding costs, which is only natural if you haven’t planned a big event, done any research or chatted frankly about it with married friends. If this sounds familiar, we recommend having a browse around our wedding budget breakdown pots, which detail what real couples spent on the big day.
• So you have €7,000 in the bank, but you think you can get to €18,000 by your wedding? Be realistic about how much you can save in the time you have. While you’ll be dipping into your savings for deposits and expenses throughout the planning, the bulk of the cost comes right at the end, so you don’t want to get in over your head, if you won’t have the money at the end to cover it.
• If you know your parents want to contribute to your wedding, try to have the money conversation with them early on. That way, you you know how much you have to work with, if they want their money to cover specific items (like your dress or the wine, for example), or if there are any other caveats to them contributing.

We cannot overestimate the importance of finding the right wedding venue – whether your wedding to-do list is in your head, on your laptop, or lovingly drawn out in a fresh notebook, this should be at the very top of it! Until you book your venue, your wedding is a blank canvas. It could be a quiet elopemnt , a wild house party in the woods or anything in between – but once you settle on a wedding venue, the space dictates pretty much everything else about your big day, from food to photography, even down to what you wear!

Choosing your wedding venue is always a tricky task, but it’s made much easier by first deciding on the style of party you’r after, and the kind of vibe you want to create – believe us, it’s the only part your guests will still remember on your silver wedding anniversary!

To help with the wedding venue search, we’ve put together a list of the five main wedding venue options, listing the pros and cons of each. Once you’ve settled on the kind of wedding you want, our handy guide below will help you narrow things down!

The Two Big Wedding Venue Questions

Before you start researching wedding venues, organise a sit-down chat with your other half, in which you brainstorm ideas for your wedding day and (hopefully!) settle on the kind of party you want to throw. We have lots of great posts on the early stages of wedding planning and working out which style of wedding is for you , but there are two main questions that you need to answer first:

1. How many guests you are going to have?  

Determine theballpark number of guests before even thinking about drawing up a list of potential venues. If you’re planning on having more than 200 guests, for example, your venue search will be hugely restricted by that number. Roughly speaking, for weddings with more than 150 guests, you will probably end up in a hotel, an exclusive hire venue or marquee, and for weddings smaller than 50, a small, private venue or restaurant will work best.

Hotel Wedding Venue

Traditionally, planning a wedding in Ireland was pretty easy – you booked the local hotel and the local church and you were done! While Irish brides and grooms are getting more adventurous and creative in their choice of wedding venue, and mode of celebration, there are still lots of reasons why a hotel might be your perfect choice.

Pros:

• Package Deals: Hotels that cater for lots of weddings usually offer competitive packages, making budgeting so much easier
• In-house wedding coordinator: There’s someone to organise all the nitty gritty of the day for you
• Trust: A respected venue with a great reputation means that you can be confident in your choice
• Accommodation: It’s available on site for most, if not all, of your guests
• Recommendations: Most venues can provide recommendations for trusted suppliers

Cons:

• Less flexibility: You will probably be restricted in your choice of décor, food, wine, etc, and have less time to prepare the room and decorate
• Packages: These can be expensive and extras can really add up
• Same old, same old: Hotel function rooms can be bland, so more effort is required to make it personal and modern
• Supplier restrictions: Some venues insist on couples only using certain suppliers

Exclusive Hire Wedding Venue

An increasingly popular choice among Europe couples is the exclusive hire venue, which works really well for those planning a formal(ish) dinner and dancing-style wedding, but who don’t want a hotel.Exclusive hire wedding venues in Turkey are so diverse – each one offers something really unique.

Pros:

• Privacy: As you are the only group of guests, you’ll have all the intimacy of a private event
• Wow Factor: Private venues are often beautiful and unusual places with true character
• Personal touch: A private venue is usually operated by the owner directly, and only hosts a few weddings a year, so you have a much more personal relationship with the place and people

Cons:

• Small: Many private venues are really only suitable for smaller wedding parties within the house itself
• Expense: For larger wedding parties, marquee hire is often possible, but usually costs extra
• Planning: Private parties involve more coordination of suppliers so a wedding planner is often necessary
• Restrictions: An exclusive hire wedding venue is someone else’s property and often their home, so you don’t always have the complete run of the place

Marquee and/or Wedding At Home

The ultimate in personalisation, having your wedding in a marquee at home or some other special place is a fantastic option, if you’re lucky enough to have the space and mental energy for it. But be warned that organising a marquee wedding is not for the faint-hearted! It means a lot of hands-on supplier coordination and organisation, but our handy marquee wedding price guide is a great place to start.

Pros:

• More Personal: Celebrating at home means you and your guests will feel immediately at ease
• Control: You determine every aspect of your day from décor to suppliers – you can also take a whole week setting up and decorating to your heart’s content if you want to.
• No Restrictions: You can have an open bar and party until 6am, and nobody will tell you to turn off the music (except maybe the neighbours!)
• Budgeting: A marquee wedding is far from cheap, but there is more scope to save money in certain areas

Cons:

• Hidden Costs: Unlike a package from a hotel, the costs of a marquee wedding are not clear cut, and may surprise you
• Weather: Marquees these days are weatherproof, but a rainy day can ruin the look and feel of your garden wedding
• Intrusion: Your personal space will be invaded by suppliers for days ahead of the wedding
• Coordinating and Organising: A wedding at home means a lot more work for you as the planner, and you will definitely require a day coordinator to assist with the wedding planning

Restaurant or Pub Wedding Venues

For the foodie couple who want an intimate and less traditional celebration, a great restaurant or pub is certainly worth considering for the reception. Check out our list of restaurant wedding venues  or contact your favourite eatery or bar to see if they accept bookings for private events.

Pros:

• The Food: Your guests will thank you for this one!
• Atmosphere: The atmosphere is usually more intimate and laid-back
• Decor: Choosing a beautiful restaurant means wedding décor can be kept to a minimum
• Wider range of options: More and more restaurants are offering weddings as a service

Cons:

• No Accommodation: Guest accommodation is not usually available on-site
• Location: Good restaurants are usually located in urban centres, so a country wedding might be difficult
• Early Night: Late licences can be trickier for restaurants
• No Dance Floor: Space for dancing could be restricted or not available at all
• Ceremony: A separate ceremony venue is usually necessary – some restaurants will have a suitable space, but not all
• Less Sense of Occasion: This may not matter to you, but if you’ve dreamed of the big white wedding, a pub probably won’t fit the bill

DIY Weddings AKA Whatever You Want

Here at One Fab Day, we don’t believe in conforming to any sort of preset wedding ideas, so it’s very possible that you’re already dreaming of an amazing and creative celebration that fits none of the above categories!

Whether you’re thinking about of a cliffside ceremony, a picnic reception or a late-night party on the beach, you’ll probably encounter the same pros and cons as having a wedding at home and/or an exclusive hire venue. This means more organisation and planning (and often hidden expenses), but if you and your other half are both passionate about doing something unique, we trust it will turn out fabulously! Look to these epic locations around Turkey for inspiration.

The final thing to remember is that each wedding venue is different. There are pubs that offer package deals and hotels that operate like exclusive hire venues so we’ve had to make a lot of generalisations here, but hopefully our guide will help steer you and your partner in the right direction.

If you’re newly angaged (congratulations BTW!), a lot of your time is probably being spent seeking out the perfect wedding venue. We’ve got a guide to how to choose what kind of venue you want, but once you’ve made a shortlist, started to contact venues, and maybe even organised to go along for a visit, it’s time to work out which place is ‘The One’. Which is where our handy checklist of wedding venue questions comes in (you can download it at the bottom of the page!).

Any of you who have started the big venue search will know, that while you do have lots of time with the owner, sales person or venue coordinator while there, typically you walk away thinking of a gazillion questions that you should have asked.

So our advice is, when you going to view a venue, bring along a list of questions and jot down the answers as you go. That way you’ll have a) all the information you need and b) consistent answers to compare between venue options. This will make sorting the pros and cons thing so much easier when you’re trying to make your final decision.

The Initial Questions to Ask a Wedding Venue

To get you started we’ve compiled a general list of wedding venue questions that cover all the various aspects. There are two primary questions you need to find out before talking to any venue you’re interested in:

1. Does the venue have enough seated capacity to accommodate your guest list?
2. Is your desired date free?

Beyond those basic questions, there are a lot of big and small issues that need to be ironed out with your potential venue. This list is designed to give you a broad overview of the kinds of things you should ask in order to minimise any surprises later down the line. Some will apply to you, others may not, so you can simply skip over them when you’re chatting with the venue.

Remember, when visiting multiple venues, keep a note of the answers at each, for easy comparison later on.

First Things First

• Who will actually be there on the day? Is there an in-house wedding coordinator? If there is a coordinator, will they be there for the duration of the reception?
• Do you have a one wedding per day policy?
• Is the venue available for exclusive use?
• If so, is there a minimum amount of guests that have to book accommodation for exclusivity?
• How flexible are your packages?
• Are there any changes planned to the building before the wedding (renovations, painting etc)?

Ceremony

• Which rooms are licensed for ceremonies?
• Is the ceremony to take place in the same room as the reception?
• What is the changeover plan for converting from ceremony to reception?
• Are there any alternative (or outdoor) locations for non-legal ceremonies?
• Are we allowed to have confetti?

Food & Wine

• Is a complimentary menu and wine tasting included? How many people can attend?
• How much wine/champagne/tea & coffee is included per person?
• Wine choices – what are the wine choices and what are the upgrade costs?
• Do you charge a corkage fee?
• Is the champagne toast complimentary?
• Are there any additional charges for bar staff or waiting staff?
• What time is the meal served?
• Do you cater for special dietary requirements? Coeliacs? Vegetarians?
• Is there an option for dinner the night before or a BBQ the day after?
• Is there a late night food option, what time is it served?
• Where is the cocktail hour or drinks reception held?
• Can we serve signature cocktails?

The Reception: Décor & Styling

• What crockery/linen/cutlery is provided as part of the package?
• What type of tables do you have (shape, size, top table)? Are there different options?
• Is any décor/stationery provided (menus, centrepieces, red carpet, flowers, cake stand)? Are there alternatives available?
• Can I move things around and decorate to suit my purposes, or do I have to leave everything as is?
• If you want to set up and decorate the venue the day before the wedding, can we gain access, what time?
• Can we hang things on the wall or from the ceilings?
• Do we need to bring in a contractor to hang decor or lights?

The Wedding Party

• Where does the band set up? Where is the dancefloor/how big is it/does anything have to be moved to create the dancefloor?
• Does the wedding venue already own a sound system with adequate speakers or will that need to be rented?
• Will the band be able to set up beforehand or does it have to be during changeover?
• Will the band have to go through the reception to set up or is there separate access?
• Do you have microphones in the venue for the speeches?
• Can I hook an iPod or laptop up to your sound system?
• Is there a late bar? How late will the bar be open?
• Is there a charge for a bar extension?
• What time do guests have to leave the venue?
• What is the capacity for evening/afters guests?

Accommodation

• Is the bridal suite included in the price? Are complimentary rooms provided for the parents or any of the wedding party?
• What accommodation does the venue offer, will there be discounted rates for guests at the wedding?
• Are there B&Bs and other hotels in the area for guests? Can you provide a list?
• Are there reliable taxi companies in the area?
• When is the check out time?
• Can we block book rooms for guests? If so, how long can they be held for?

Private Venues

• Can I have a marquee in the grounds? What capacity can be accommodated?
• Do you have a preferred marquee provider or can we organise our own choice?
• Are there any preferences for suppliers/is there an in-house caterer?
• Are kitchen facilities available for use?
• Do we need to supply a generator or bathroom facilities?

Facilities

• Can the bridal party get ready at the venue?
• Is the venue child friendly? What facilities are available for entertaining children?
• Is there a lift/facilities/access for elderly guests or those with a disability ?
• Is there enough parking for my guests and is it free?
• Is there a heated outdoor space for smoking or where my guests can mingle?
• How many toilets are there?
• Is there somewhere secure to store wedding gifts?
• Does the venue have public liability insurance?

 Financial

• Is there a payment schedule? What kind of deposits are required?
• What’s the cancellation policy? What costs are incurred if the numbers on the day differ to the final numbers?
• Are discounts/packages dependent on certain numbers of guests booking accommodation?
• Are there special reductions for off-peak (e.g. Monday – Thursday or January to March?)
• Is there a service fee included?
• Are there any additional fees or charges we need to be aware of?

One last nugget of advice: if you think a particular venue might be ‘The One’, follow up after the visit with an email confirming all their answers; some venues say yes to everything in the initial visit and are then less flexible in reality, so having everything you’ve discussed in writing will help things to run smoother down the line.
