The Finger Lakes region is beautiful, and it’s definitely possible to find budget-friendly wedding venues there while still making it a memorable and special day. If you’d like, I can help you refine these ideas, suggest ways to make them more budget-friendly, or provide some additional tips to optimize your budget. Here’s how you might approach it:
- Local parks or nature preserves;
Garnett Hill at Ontario County Parks – Naples, NY
Cummings Nature Center – Honeoye, NY
2. Vineyards;
Inspire Moore – Naples, NY
3. Private Homes or Airbnb
4. Local farm or barn venues
General Budget Tips for Finger Lakes Weddings:
- Off-season or Weekday Weddings: Consider getting married in the off-season (late fall or early spring) or on a weekday to get discounted rates.
- DIY Decorations & Favors: Instead of hiring a decorator, consider making your own decorations or buying items in bulk to create a personalized touch.
- Catering: Look for local food trucks, smaller catering companies, or even potluck-style receptions to save money.
- Guest List: Keeping the guest list small can help you avoid the larger costs that come with hosting a big event. Intimate weddings can still be beautiful and meaningful.
If you have any specifics in mind for your wedding or location preferences, I’d be happy to help you fine-tune your ideas!
