The Big Question: How to Keep My Wedding Affordable in 2023

As 2023 brides and grooms near the start of the new year, they might be starting to realize the growing costs of their wedding. From venues to flowers to catering, weddings can become very expensive very quickly! In last month’s blog post, we detailed how weekday weddings are the secret to saving. But there are plenty of ways to keep your wedding affordable; and it starts with your choice of venue. This month’s blog post provides tips and advice on how to have an affordable wedding in 2023, including what makes our Colorado wedding venue one of the most affordable and desired choices among brides and grooms around the Colorado Springs area. Our venue in Monument promises a Colorado wedding made of dreams without the expensive price tag. 

All Inclusive Weddings in Colorado

One of the main reasons couples choose Colorado as their wedding destination is because of the magnificent mountain views. While you dream to say, “I do” within the mountain peaks, it does not mean you have to pay prices as high as the mountains themselves. Views of the Pikes Peak Region encompass our ceremony garden and you can find the best wedding packages like our All Inclusive or our Simple Wed Micro Wedding options, making our Colorado venue a match made in heaven. 

The All Inclusive Package at our venue north of Colorado Springs lets couples have their special day, their way! This package is designed to let the couple personalize their wedding without the expensive price tag. Our All Inclusive Package is suited for essentially all those who are betrothed and their unique desires for the wedding day because of the opportunities for customization and adaptations. Not only is the purpose of our All Inclusive Package to make your Colorado wedding affordable, it is also available to be at your convenience in planning for your big day. 

First, this wedding package includes a Day-Of Coordinator. Because we are highly familiar with our surrounding community and the greater areas of the wedding industry, we are confident that we have secured the best Day-Of Coordinators to assist and guide you. Next in the lineup of our All Inclusive Package is catering. This is one of the budget items that couples typically spend the most money on. Within our package, you can choose from a variety of cuisines for your wedding meal. The catering includes everything, from appetizers to desserts and drinks. You will have a tasting session to finalize your choices for two appetizers, two entrees, two sides, salad, bread, and additional design details. Florals, decor, and DJ are part of the package as well, providing you with venue supplies and local vendors to choose from. The final details include event insurance, vendor management, and taxes and service fees. 

Our Colorado All Inclusive Package not only includes the stunning mountain views that naturally comes with our wedding venue but will help walk you through the smallest details of planning. From the fun details of planning your wedding, like choosing florals and decor, to the not-as-fun details, your dream mountain wedding in Colorado comes to life through our All Inclusive Package.

Sweet & Simple Micro Weddings in Colorado

Picture yourself, your betrothed, and only your closest friends and family celebrating together at your wedding. The sweet simplicity of having a micro wedding is becoming a trend as prices for wedding related products and services are skyrocketing. We are happy to offer our Simply Wed Micro Wedding Package at our Colorado wedding venue. This package is for the couple who desire an intimate experience on their wedding day, rather than a grand celebration.

Micro weddings are another popular way to have an affordable wedding. This package is for weddings of up to 25 people and includes all the romantic and celebratory essentials. A micro wedding does not mean you will sacrifice a dream wedding, but that your day will be filled with the most love from a fewer number of guests. Also, those who commit to a micro wedding will love the monetary benefits of keeping the guest list short. Our package lets you decide between a relaxed or formal feel for your small wedding in Colorado with six hours of venue access, including our indoor and outdoor ceremony space, reception space, and two hospitality rooms. Also part of our Simply Wed Micro Wedding Package are your choice of style in tables and chairs, a sound system, furnishings, and an on-site host to help with day-of coordination and facility management. 

Other details included in our Simply Wed package for your intimate micro wedding are: 

  • Officiant
  • Catering + Plates and Cutlery
  • Dessert + Cake Cutting Set
  • Cold Beverage Station
  • Table Linens (Choice of Colors)
  • Decor
  • Floral
  • Required Event Liability Insurance
  • Full Service:  Set up, Tear Down, Trash Removal, Cleaning
