Unbiased Website Helps Los Angeles Brides Find Affordable Wedding Venues
Website provides and unbiased guide to affordable, but beautiful wedding venues in Los Angeles.
Online, December 5, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Finding an affordable Wedding venue is one of the most challenging aspects to planning a wedding in today's economy. To solve this dilemma, the website http://www.wedcheaper.com now provides listings of affordable wedding venues. What sets http://www.wedcheaper.com apart is the website editors choose venues based on independent research into their affordability. Vendors do not pay to get listed, so the information is completely unbiased.
Website founder, Leila Morris said, "We have a pretty narrow definition of what affordable is. We focus on venues that charge only $50 per person, per meal or less and many of our listings are well below that number. For rental halls we focus on sites that charge $2,000 or less."
"When most people plan for a wedding or big event, the first thing they think of is having it at a hotel. But there are so many more affordable alternatives. Also, hotel banquet food isn't always that great. In our New York and New Jersey listings, we feature museums, restaurants, community centers, as well as community centers run by local parks. I think that brides would be surprised at how nice some of these venues are."
Morris said that a restaurant can be a great option for a wedding reception since you don't have to pay separately for the catering and the rental of the venue. "My own wedding was held at a wonderful restaurant that closed for our party only. I think that the food was so much better than what we could have gotten at a hotel."
In addition to wedding venue listings, www.wedcheaper.com provides insider tips and suggestions on catering, flowers, dresses, and just about any other expense that comes up. The site is dedicated to helping brides and grooms plan a cheap wedding that doesn't look or feel cheap.
The site focuses on creative alternatives, such as buying your wedding flowers at Costco When asked what is the single biggest way to save you're your wedding, Morris said to limit the guest list. "With even a modest catering fee of $30 a plate, just 50 extra people will cost you $1,500. At my own wedding, we only had 75 guests and it was such a warm and fun event because so many people knew each other." What about parents who push you to invite a lot of people? Morris said to give both sets of parents a set number of guests they can invite and ask them to pay extra if they want to go over that number."
