Chapel or outside ceremony

Mindy, on February 29, 2020 at 8:07 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7
Hi all, ok so I wanted a chapel ceremony but FH wants to just have a outside ceremony at our reception venue. It will save us more money to on the lawn, but I cant firgure out how to do a ceremony. FH says ill get you a arch and all the works but idk. What do you all think?

    Often you can find an officiant that can even for a little extra money to provide those things. Honestly it just comes down to what you to want. I have friends that for them they had to be married inside of a church or ask for me even though I am religious granted I'm not a full church goer every week I knew that For me I never wanted to get married inside of a church. I always envisioned getting married Outdoors but then again I was never really in love with a churches in Florida as compared to churches and let's say Europe. I would maybe suggest see how much a chapel would be because sometimes they don't charge that much and maybe a happy medium could you do the ceremony in the back of the chapel? You both have to come to a compromise but ultimately what's something that you both want because I know for some people depending on their faith getting married outside of the church can be a challenge for them.

    Thank you hun! We do have a officiant and shes free, the chapel is $500. If we rent a arch its like $40 but then gotta firgure in the flowers all the extra stuff to make it look presentable. 🤷‍♀️ it may be a bit cheaper but more work.

    Well you got to save money wherever you can because ultimately it's your budget but I don't think 500 for a venue is that horrible. Could you also have reception there? Again I would just ask you for you would it be regretful not having your wedding inside of a religious venue?

    Melle makes an excellent point! And you may need to rent a table for the officiant for any ceremony items: unity candle, for him/her to book her ceremony book onto, etc.

    Great point thank almost forgot a table for our sand ceremony. We are gonna rent chairs i think, we can use the chairs at the venue but i think white chairs or benches would be cute. For the arch we will rent that also but with all that it only comes to about 150. 😊
