"It&amp;#x27;s cute till you realize he has to get all the guests to the wedding in the basket too. When you first get engaged, you&amp;#x27;ll probably start daydreaming about all sorts of out-there wedding venues: a remote field of daisies, your childhood summer camp. But an unconventional wedding venue isn&amp;#x27;t in the cards for most brides and grooms, simply because the cost is SO prohibitive. Think about it: EVERYTHING you need for even a simple wedding in an empty loft space or your parents&amp;#x27; backyard&amp;amp;#8212;every chair, every table, every fork, every glass, every napkin, possibly every toilet&amp;amp;#8212;needs to be brought in from various rental companies. And the cost of all those rentals adds up quickly. Plus, if you consider the various licenses and permits you&amp;#x27;ll need to obtain to host a huge party (assuming you&amp;#x27;re having more than, say, 20 wedding guests), well, it&amp;#x27;s easy to see why most brides and grooms go the traditional route when it comes to a wedding venue. In short, if you want to save money&amp;amp;#8212;and avoid a lot of extra planning logistics&amp;amp;#8212;your best money-saving option is usually a facility that hosts weddings or other large events. Look for one that includes dishes and cutlery, tables and linens, chair options, even vases in the site fee, so you don&amp;#x27;t have bring in any rental &amp;quot;extras.&amp;quot; Another easy way to save: Ask potential wedding venues if they&amp;#x27;ll reduce their site fee if you opt for an off-season wedding date. Maybe you weren&amp;#x27;t dreaming of a February wedding in the Northeast {Brrrrr! }, but winter weddings can be magical, IMO, and they&amp;#x27;re often cheaper because wedding vendors are less in demand up North during the cold months. Would you get married at a traditional wedding facility? Or do you want something more original? And would you get married in the off season to save $$$?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
