Expenses associated with weddings are often exceptionally high, even for a lower budget event. It is important for you to be aware of the ways in which the couple can cut costs in a few areas, like the band, food, venue, and so on. Be sure to do your research on a few options to present for several components of the wedding for the couple to pick and choose from.

"I find that there are many ways to save money on weddings while still accomplishing the core of what the couple wants. For example, if a couple wants dinner service at their wedding, but the plated options are too pricey, then I might suggest a basic buffet-style dinner. If the couple wants to save money on music, then I might advise that they hire a band for the initial portion of the reception and transition to a pre-selected playlist to save on a DJ. I always encourage them to explore their networks for ways to save money as well, such as friends who are photographers, chefs, venue owners, and so on. When considering all of these angles, couples are able to save a considerable amount of money on the overall event."
