The most expensive part of your wedding is usually the meal at your reception. If you need to save money, there’s a few different ways to lower your costs. The best way is to choose a simple, inexpensive meal and have it served buffet style. Whether you’re hiring a caterer or doing it yourself, the food you choose will have a big impact on your bottom line. Filling your menu with inexpensive food that’s easy to prepare is the best way to save money on your catering bill.

Most wedding experts say that 50% of your budget should go to your food and venue. But what if your budget is smaller than average? If you’re only spending ten thousand dollars - is five thousand enough to rent a venue and pay for a caterer? What if your budget is even smaller? Maybe your budget isn’t big enough for a traditional caterer. But don’t get discouraged - there’s lots of other options.
