You don't always have to have your wedding in a grand hotel ball room. I remember attending a friend's so-called 'frugal' wedding in the form of a garden BBQing session with friends and I have lots more precious memories about it compared to others in ballrooms with huge settings. So, if the budget is a concern, don't throw out the idea of having your wedding outdoors because it's relatively cheaper this way. And definitely more fun!

Taking your wedding outdoors means that you'll have to consider your catering options if you're not keen on cooking for hundreds of wedding guests. I did a little bit of surfing and found these to be rather reliable catering services. Give it a go.
