Choosing a wedding venue is an extremely daunting task, especially if you're on a budget. As a wedding photographer and planner, I have seen the best and worst of venues. From lavish ballrooms to rustic barns, I have been in charge of planning and photographing weddings in many different types of venues. Many couples can't afford typical luxury wedding venues which start at $20k per event, but don't worry - there are affordable wedding venues that allow you to have everything you need for a beautiful event without breaking the bank!
