Planning a wedding is one of life's most memorable projects, but it can also be stressful, especially when it comes to managing your budget. In this guide, we go through how you can budget for choosing a wedding venue and make sure everything goes according to plan. Whether you're planning an intimate event or a big party, these tips will help you stay on budget and make your day unforgettable.
The importance of location in budgeting
The location of the wedding venue is one of the first things that affects the budget. Is the party venue near your hometown or further away? The location affects not only the space rent, but also the guests' travel expenses and possible accommodation costs. For example, Villa Furuvik offers a wonderful seaside landscape in Helsinki, which can be a perfect choice if you want to celebrate near the city but still in the lap of nature.
Also remember to consider how guests will get there. Is there enough parking space near the premises? Is it possible to get there by public transport or are transport services needed? These factors can have a significant impact on the overall budget.
Premises rent and the services included in it
Space rent is often one of the biggest expenses in the wedding budget. It is important to find out exactly what is included in the space rent. Does the price include, for example, furniture, sound equipment or cleaning? In Villa Furuvik, for example, the use of the garden is included in the space rent, which enables beautiful outdoor activities without additional costs.
If the space rent does not include all necessary services, such as catering or decoration, these must be taken into account in the budget. It's also worth asking if the farm has partners through whom you can get the services at a cheaper price.
Dining and drinks
Food and drinks are another significant expenditure item. Some of the party facilities offer their own catering services, while others can bring their own catering service. At Villa Furuvik, you can choose the catering you want, which gives you flexibility in managing your budget. Also remember to find out if the farm has A rights or if you can bring your own drinks with you.
Buffet dining is often a cheaper option than table service, but it requires more space. Make sure that there is enough space in the party area for dining and that all necessary cutlery is available.
Decoration and special needs
Decorating can be a big expense, but it's also an area where you can save. Consider whether the natural beauty of the space can be used in decoration. For example, Villa Furuvik's beautiful garden and seascape offer a wonderful setting without high decoration costs.
Also remember to take into account any special needs, such as sound, lighting and other technical equipment. Communicate openly with the venue about special needs so that everything runs smoothly on the wedding day.
Booking and scheduling
The most popular wedding venues are often booked a year or even two in advance. Be on time and make sure you get the space you want. At Villa Furuvik, you can check the booking calendar and make a preliminary reservation easily via our website.
Once you have reserved the space, be sure to plan your schedule carefully. When is the space available for decorating? When must the party end and the space be cleaned? Good scheduling reduces stress and ensures that everything goes according to plan.
