Keep your expenses in check by booking your venue on weekdays or Sundays! Saturdays tend to be the priciest and most packed day of the week. Another trick to try is to book during the off-season. When demand is slower, you can check for off-season discounts in January and March. Provide food and drinks at venues where external catering is allowed. Keep your guest count under control. Invite people you want to see at the party when preparing your guest list. Negotiate with the venue manager for discounts or packages.
