Budget Wedding Venues

Tuesday, April 9. 2013

Looking for an inexpensive place to have your wedding reception so that you can spend the saved extra dollars on a better honeymoon? Well, here are some wedding reception organizing tips that has been shared by some of the wedding planners that we are constantly in touch with. We hope that it can help you put together a prudently-priced wedding reception together. Because let’s look at it this way, some may want a big reception, others prefer to have a really fairytale-like wedding dress while others would rather spend the bulk of their budget on the honeymoon...to each his or her own, like they always say. 

 
Restaurants
We know the ideal place to have a wedding reception is a grand ole ballroom right in the middle of downtown Chicago in a large expensive hotel. Sure, if you want to impress your guests. But if your focus is more about celebrating the wedding together with your family and friends, we think it is perfectly fine to have your wedding reception in a restaurant. If possible, scout out a restaurant which has a nice, magnificent view or a back garden where wedding guests can spend some time outdoors bonding with each other. 
 
Colleges, museums and Universities
Most of these places already have their own venues and facilities that they are ready to rent out for your wedding reception for a small fee. All you need to do is to spend some time designing some small changes that they might allow. What is important here is that you stick to the budget and then, if it is possible, find a place with a park or a fantastic view. It is sometimes so much better than renting a ballroom in a large, renowned hotel. 
 
Bungalows, buildings and other unusual places
While you are on a budget, suffice to say that it is also the perfect time to get creative. Why stick to the norm now that you are given a hand in trying to make your wedding reception as creative as possible? Take the opportunity to see if you can book a roller coaster ride, a pretty building somewhere out of town, or maybe even a barn. The advantage of using these places is that people remember it more for the creativity and also, it lends your wedding reception a more memorable one compared to one held in a grand hotel ballroom. 
 
Parks and outdoor spaces
Yes, this would be the other choice for wedding couples on a small budget. Most city parks will take a nominal fee for you to have your small wedding reception - our advice would be to ask the officials if they have a covered patio. Other benefits would be amenities and picnic areas. 
 
We are sure you can put together a magical wedding without busting your budget.
 

The Chicago Adler Planetarium

Tuesday, November 6. 2012

With Nine huge exhibits and countless number (and the number continues to grow) of theaters to explore, the Chicago Adler Planetarium remains to be one the top children's attraction in Chicago, much to the delight of our Chicago party bus rental customers. What the Adler Planetarium brings you is a deeper look into, not just our sky, but the known universe but it is watered down so that the little ones won't feel lost and confused when assessing the information present before them. The kids will also be introduced to the efforts being made by the NASA team, why they do the things that they do and they will also be introduced to the kind of life astronauts have to live in a rocket. They will also get first-hand simulation of piloting a rocket! That should be amazing for the little ones.

Planet X was created to give children a feel about living in another planet which tells them a very positive message about earth not being the only planet in the universe and that the world does not revolve around our planet. We are just a part of something really huge. The exhibit also showcases some of the impressive astrolabes, armillary spheres and sundials – the kids will learn more about how far we have come as human beings by exploring how people lived during medieval times.

What is truly awesome is the Galaxy Wall which gives visitors a view of Milky Way, our galaxy while a simulation of our solar system tells the kids that there are plenty of other planets, suns, moons, and smaller planets that we don't see when we look up into the sky. They are there and their existence should not be ignored. At the end of the visit, try out the Adler's awesome 3D universe theater, it is truly moving and mind-blowing.
