How to Host an Intimate Wedding on a Budget

Weddings are magical, life-changing events—but they don’t have to break the bank. With the right planning, you can create a beautiful and unforgettable day without overspending. Here are five expert tips for hosting a budget-friendly, intimate wedding at 63 Main Events in St. Albans, WV.

1. Limit Your Guest List

An intimate wedding shines when shared with those who matter most. Instead of inviting distant acquaintances, keep your guest list small and meaningful by focusing on close family and friends. A shorter list means less strain on your budget, allowing you to invest in quality touches like personalized favors or a memorable meal.

63 Main Events is perfect for intimate gatherings, comfortably accommodating up to 65 guests. This ensures you have a cozy yet spacious environment tailored to your closest loved ones.

2. Simplify Your Décor

Elegant doesn’t have to mean expensive. Focus on simple but impactful decor elements. Candles, fairy lights, and DIY floral arrangements can transform your venue without costing a fortune. Consider using seasonal flowers or greenery from local sources to save even more.

The adaptable space at 63 Main Events provides a beautiful foundation for any wedding theme. With its charming, inviting atmosphere, minimal decor can go a long way in creating the perfect ambiance.

3. Choose a Versatile Venue

One of the most significant costs of a wedding is the venue. Choosing a space that offers flexibility can save you time and money. 63 Main Events not only offers affordability but also a versatile setting ideal for ceremonies and receptions alike. With amenities like a commercial fridge, microwave, and a prep area, you’ll have everything you need to streamline your event.

Our venue packages are designed to fit your budget:

• Full-Day Rental: 8 AM to midnight with variable pricing.

• Half-Day Rental: 4 PM to midnight for just $500.

• Hourly Rental: $75 per hour for smaller, shorter celebrations.

4. Opt for a Small Reception

After your ceremony, a small, intimate reception can be just as memorable as a grand banquet. Consider a catered buffet or a self-serve food station instead of a formal, plated dinner. This allows your guests to mingle and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.

63 Main Events offers the flexibility to work with local caterers, giving you options that fit your taste and budget. Whether you want a dessert bar or a home-cooked meal prepared by family, the possibilities are endless.

5. Prioritize Your Must-Haves

While it’s tempting to splurge on every wedding trend, focusing on a few key priorities will keep your costs under control. Identify what’s most important to you, whether that’s live music, a professional photographer, or stunning floral arrangements. Invest in these essentials and simplify the rest.

By choosing 63 Main Events as your venue, you’ll free up your budget to focus on the details that matter most. Our space is designed to enhance your vision, not hinder it.
