Curb The Debt, But Not the Important Details: Why a Ceremony Only Wedding is the Way to Go

Ashly Norris • October 19, 2022

The date is set and off you go in search of the fairytale setting for your upcoming nuptials. From modern industrial to whimsical and bohemian, the industry has every style of venue you could imagine. The question begs, what is the price tag attached to your dream come true? While many venues offer delightful packages with plenty of options, many still come at a lofty cost. If the budget is tight, which for most it is, something has to give.


On average, brides in 2022 are spending $27,000 to have their special day. In comparison to the average annual income, that’s far too high a price to pay. So do you forgo a new home, prolong the engagement to hopefully save, or settle for a minimalist style? While all of these are respectable options, there’s a new option emerging, and it may just be the answer to have a beautiful experience and stay within a reasonable budget.


When you think of a wedding, one of the most notable features is where the vows are exchanged. It’s perhaps the most important part of the day and should be the highlight of the celebration. That’s exactly the thought process that makes having a ceremony only a practical and effortless choice. Envision you and your soon to be spouse, surrounded by your loved ones and friends, taking in the beautiful surroundings, and getting back to the heart of matrimony.


The music is there, the photographer is snapping shots of first looks, flower girls, and tears flowing. The videographer is capturing every exquisite moment unfolding, so the day might one day be relived and reminisced. The officiant has begun the ceremony, and hearts pounding, you both say yes to forever. What follows is completely up to the newlyweds. No longer is it the expected plans to host an extravagant dinner, instead you can take the party poolside, or enjoy a more intimate gathering by a cozy fire. Get whisked away to your dream vacation or finalize the details on your dream home. The possibilities are truly limitless once the veil of expectation has been lifted!
