Every couple wants to make their wedding fun — a memorable, and unique reflection of themselves.

Nonetheless, this can be challenging with several decisions to make. Not to mention the costs that come with a wedding party.

Recent studies have shown that the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is $33,391. Usually, this budget consists of the expenses for the venue, videographer, wedding dress, groom’s attire, florist, ceremony musicians, rehearsal dinners, and more.

Keep the costs down and ensure a memorable wedding with these unique ideas that make everything more personalized.

Get Creative with the Venue

A wedding location can spark excitement before the event takes place.

Observe the structures and overhead lighting of the venue. Keep in mind that fabrics can add design and dimension to the setting.

Opt for venues that have trussing capabilities. A truss will enable you to add creative additions like hanging heaters, chandeliers, fabric, and floral.

Also, choose overhead lighting that reflects your overall personality. Try breaking out of the box and add elements of layers and textures of light.

Proper lighting can provide an illusion of being warm or cool depending on the color filters you choose.

Alternatively, you can transform your wedding from contemporary to elegant through creative draping. Combine different fabrics such as chiffon linen with a soft overlay of rustic to add dimension and composition to give the illusion of warmth.

Hire a Professional Disc Jockey

Opting for professional wedding DJ services is another cost-effective way to make your wedding truly unforgettable.

A wedding DJ is dynamic enough to tweak a slow track or throw in that hot chart-topping music to give new life to the dance floor. Plus, they are also experienced in troubleshooting and fixing a problem before it brings catastrophic effects to your big day.

What’s more, wedding DJs do more than playing music. They also interact with your guests and keep the energy on a high level.

Moreover, they also provide fantastic visual entertainment such as fog machines, LEDs, bubble machines, and lights. This brings a whole new level of fun for all guests.

Ask for referrals or check with the venue before choosing the right DJ. In most cases, sites have preferred DJs, who are adept at the venue’s acoustics.

Likewise, make sure that the DJ has proven qualifications and can provide comprehensive details of their services. Getting these answers enables you to short-list and interview the best DJ for your wedding.

Arrange Fun Activities

Besides hiring a DJ, try initiating fun activities during the wedding reception.

Games at the wedding reception are gaining tremendous popularity, especially for outdoor weddings because of the space available and the kids in attendance.

Fun wedding activities include lawn games like Connect Four, Ring Toss, Giant Checkers, Bocce Ball, and Corn Hole or wagon and trolley rides for a tour of the location.

These fun wedding activities will prevent boredom most notably since the downtime between your wedding and reception usually is 30 to 45 minutes.
