If you’re considering choosing a local wedding, take a look at these important considerations.
Choosing between a local wedding and a destination wedding is a big decision and one that can be complicated to make. There are a lot of different things to take into account and it can be hard to know which option is right for you and your big day.
At Spring Lake Events, we love when couples choose to have a local wedding. Let’s go over some of the top reasons to go with this option and discuss the many benefits that can come from a local wedding.
Local Wedding Benefits
If you’re considering a local wedding, you’ll be happy to know that there is a long list of benefits that can accompany this choice. Below are some of the top reasons why you should choose a local wedding.
Convenience
It’s no secret that having a local wedding is way more convenient. If you have a local wedding, then you can easily stop by the venue or run to Target on your big day. Choosing a destination can be fun, but you’ll likely have way less control and it will be a much less convenient option.
If you’re looking to simplify your big day, then consider going with the convenience of a local wedding.
Your Guests
Your guests will thank you if you have a local wedding! A destination wedding can put guests in a difficult position if they want to attend but it doesn’t work well for them. From childcare to work, there are so many reasons why it makes sense for you to think about your guests and choose to have a wedding that’s close to home.
While some guests might be excited about the idea of a destination wedding, the majority of them will most likely prefer for you to have your big day close to home. Taking this into account is a great way to be considerate and thoughtful about the needs of your guests.
Price
If you have a tight budget, then a local wedding could be the perfect option. Destination weddings can be extremely expensive and they often have a lot of additional costs that you may not be anticipating.
If you’re looking to cut costs, then a local wedding is probably the way to go. Consider asking around in your area and seeing if there are any ways that you could reduce prices or work with vendors to make sure that they fit within your budget.
Vendors
Another benefit of choosing a local wedding is that you’ll have a lot of vendors to choose from and it’ll be easier to work with them. If you choose a destination wedding, then you may not be able to easily work with your vendors. By choosing a local wedding, you can be sure that you’ll be able to meet up with your vendors and easily make sure that everyone’s on the same page for your wedding day.
