Weddings are a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and while every couple dreams of an unforgettable day, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the costs. At Manor by the Lake, we understand the importance of creating a memorable day without breaking the bank. Here’s how you can plan a stunning wedding on a budget while maintaining style and elegance.
Take Advantage of Seasonal Offers
One of the best ways to save money while hosting a beautiful wedding is by choosing a date that falls outside the peak season. Manor by the Lake offers stunning wedding packages for every season, with special offers during the quieter months. Whether it’s the enchanting beauty of a winter wedding or the fresh vibrance of spring, choosing a seasonally priced package can significantly reduce your costs without sacrificing the venue’s charm.
Opt for Intimate Weddings
If you’re dreaming of a more personal, intimate celebration, consider opting for a smaller guest list. Our Intimate Weddings collection at Manor by the Lake is perfect for couples who want to enjoy the grandeur of a historic venue without the high cost of a large gathering. A smaller guest list can lead to savings in areas like catering and décor, all while allowing for a more relaxed, meaningful celebration.
Limit Extravagant Décor, but Keep It Elegant
A gorgeous wedding doesn’t need excessive décor. The charm of Manor by the Lake is in its elegant, historic spaces and picturesque grounds. You can minimise costs by embracing the beauty of the venue’s natural features and using understated yet tasteful touches to complement it. Think simple floral arrangements, candles, and drapery that add warmth and elegance to the space without a hefty price tag.
Customise Your Wedding Package
We offer customisable wedding packages that let you choose the options that matter most to you. Whether you’re prioritising gourmet food, quality entertainment, or a beautiful photography package, we give you the flexibility to create a personalised wedding experience that aligns with your vision and your budget. Our expert team is always available to guide you through the process and ensure that every detail aligns with your style.
Utilise Local Suppliers
Manor by the Lake has strong partnerships with local suppliers who offer quality services at competitive prices. From florists to photographers, choosing local professionals can save you both time and money while still ensuring top notch quality for your big day. Our team is happy to recommend trusted vendors who can help make your wedding day shine without blowing your budget.
Consider a Weekday Wedding
Weekday weddings are becoming more popular, and for good reason! Not only do they offer a more relaxed and less rushed atmosphere, but they also come with a significant cost-saving benefit. Many venues, including Manor by the Lake, offer discounts for weekday weddings, helping you make the most of your budget.
Embrace the Beauty of the Cotswolds
Finally, don’t underestimate the power of your venue’s natural beauty. Manor by the Lake is nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, surrounded by stunning scenery that provides a picture-perfect backdrop. This natural beauty means you don’t need to spend excessively on additional outdoor décor or scenic features. Whether it’s the breathtaking lakeside view or the striking Victorian architecture, our venue provides the ultimate setting for a stylish yet budget-friendly wedding.
At Manor by the Lake, we believe that a dream wedding doesn’t need to come with a dream price tag. By making thoughtful choices, embracing the elegance of our venue, and leveraging our exclusive offers, you can plan a wedding that’s both beautiful and affordable.
