Affordable wedding ideas from Asheville Celebrity DJs. I came across this post on Asheville Indie Weddings blog on some affordable and unique wedding ideas.
Kiersa Holy, of Events by Kiersa, gave lot’s of advice, which Asheville Indie Weddings shares on their blog:
1.A new, historically renovated, green certified theatre, The Altamont, located in the heart of downtown Asheville, is available to rent for weddings.
2. City parks and county parks. For example, UNCA Botanical Gardens is available for ceremonies and receptions at a great rate.
3. Local restaurants, on their closed day, often rent their space for a flat fee. Local places to check: Avenue M, Fiores and Limones.
4. Local wine bars are a great option for wedding receptions.
5. Rent a private home for an event. Kiersa passed along two websites where you can research a broad range of mountain rental properties:www.homeaway.com or www.vrbo.com
6. Private homes are options for elegant and simple affairs. One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to turn into a host, working at your own wedding! With that in mind, it’s a good idea to hire a wedding planner for weddings. Keep in mind, private homes aren’t set up for weddings, so a coordinator can help you understand surprising costs if you choose this route.
7. Check out local Bed and Breakfast options. Here are a few to begin with: Hawk and Ivy and Bella Luna Inn (connected to Black Eyed Susan Catering).
Kiersa also said that when planning a wedding, the first thing to do is to define your budget, number of guests and the ideal venue. Once these three elements are in harmony your have the best foundation to move forward.
