The venue for your cheap wedding reception is crucial to keeping your costs down. If your budget is tight, the venue is one area where you could really save some cash. There are plenty of ideas out there that cater for the tightest of budgets, but also give you the flexibility to make your day special. Here are some ideas for you to investigate:

Local Authority Buildings
Believe it or not, your local council may have some gems hidden up its sleeve when it comes to venues. They often have old stately homes that have been turned into local authority centres for training or education. Often these can be hired out and as their training centres they often come with budget accommodation attached. One particular gem is Lea Green, run by Derbyshire Education Authority. I attended a lovely wedding reception here - and the price was a steal. To find these gems, start with your local council's website.

Village Halls
Since the Millennium there have been a number of new village halls built in sleepy villages around the country. Some are beautifully designed with airy glass ceilings or outside patio areas that can make a beautiful venue. The benefit of village halls is that also come with catering facilities and equipment. Most village halls can be hired for a couple of hundred pounds, and normally include all your tables, chairs and equipment too.

Local Sports Clubs
From the rugby to rowing, most sports have a local club house and if you have a friend or relative who's a member then you'll probably be able to use it. As with village halls, the hire charge will be very low. You'll probably also find that they may offer low cost catering too. Start asking around.

Public Houses
There are hundreds of pubs up and down the country that have great gardens, idyllic riverside settings or great function rooms which can be the perfect setting for a unique or casual wedding. They'll also be able to do your catering at great prices.

So start thinking differently about the outdoor venues for your cheap wedding, there maybe some that surprise you with idyllic settings and picture perfect backdrops.
