Schedule Wedding Off Season

You might be surprised to hear that nearly 70% of weddings take place between the months of May through October each year. The truth is you will most likely find yourself to receive better deals on every wedding service if you schedule in one of the "Off Season" months. Also avoid scheduling a wedding during late November through New Year's because hotels, caterers and bands are usually packed full with holiday parties.

The best time to set a date for your wedding would be between October and mid November and also between January and May (Avoid Valentine's Day). When you schedule your wedding day during the "Off Season" months you will find excellent bargaining positions and will also receive great deals with each vendor.

Also if you are planning to exchange vows in the next coming years you could always consider following certain wedding ceremonies Toronto in the "Off Season" months to see how other couple's wedding days took place.

Cut Down Food & Drinks Bill

The best way to cut down your food and drinks bill is to actually cut down your guest list. This would most likely be painful, but unfortunately there is no quicker, easier way to control your budget than by limiting the size of your wedding. Your biggest expense for your wedding would consist of food and beverages, so by reducing the number of guests would be exceptional.

Buy Non-Bridal Gown

Think about it, bridal gowns are not the only white dress in the universe! Who knows you may become surprised that your 'perfect' wedding dress is not even found in a bridal salon, but actually among the women's evening wear section in your favourite department store. Also you may find that your perfect gown is a more affordable bridesmaid's style, created in white or ivory.

Negotiate

When you splurge on items that are marked 'Wedding,' there usually is a premium attached to it so negotiate!

Ceremony and Reception At Same Location

Multiple wedding venues offer halls that are actually equipped to handle wedding receptions at a reasonable cost. By doing this, you will save time on driving to a second location and also save money from decorations and arrival drinks.

Select A Photographer

Instead of taking the time and money to select a professional wedding photographer, consider choosing an amateur photographer who is currently in school that require professional experience. Of course you will want to look at his or hers work prior to making a decision. Also you could consider asking friends and family as they may know a few photographers themselves. If you do not want to take a small risk in considering a amateur photographer you could always consider a professional one, but allow them to stay for only half of the day instead of the full day. 

Share Costs On Church Flowers

If you have decided to exchange your vows in a church sometimes you can actually arrange with other couples in the same day that are getting married to share costs of decorations. Also another thing to keep in mind is to follow larger religious events in a local church and decide to exchange vows a couple days later, this will ensure the church will be decorated.

Honeymoon

A good idea to consider would be to ask your wedding guests for "Honeymoon Vouchers" - Some travel firms may offer this. This way your guests will contribute to your honeymoon costs.

Rent Groom's Attire

There really is no need for you to buy the groom's attire because they will most likely only where the suit once - You can easily rent one for an inexpensive price.

Venue With No Hiring Fee

You could always consider choosing a local pub or your favourite restaurant as a venue, this way you will save on the hiring fee and the cost per head would be a lot cheaper than a hotel.
