Inexpensive wedding

We are constantly asked,”how can we afford a wedding ceremony with a small budget?”  Our answer is always the same, “do your research.”  There are plenty of areas to host a ceremony such as; a small park near the beach, a city park, on beach sand, a cliff area near the beach etc.  The thing to keep in mind is that a ceremony will normally last on average 2 hours or less and that includes arrival and departure of your guest.  Find a park and rent some our chairs, a wedding arch, an aisle runner and all that you can think of to make your ceremony beautiful within the range of your budget.
