If you’re like thousands of American couples each year, you might ask yourself how to plan a wedding on a budget of $1000. Weddings are often the second most costly expense a family will pay for, after the home. Fortunately, weddings can be affordable, and in this article, I’ll be covering ways for budgeting a wedding under $1000!

But before I begin, you might be wondering, what do I know about cheap weddings? Well, I’m proud to say that I’ve taken part in several $1000 (or less) inexpensive weddings. And, when I got married, even my own wedding ceremony cost much less than $1000. We had a small ceremony in a church where a friend of ours was the priest. And everything got finished in under an hour. Then, we went for lunch and called it a day. Now, ours was certainly minimalist. But, we could have done more.

Let’s get started!
