How To Plan Bay Area LGBTQ Weddings That Will Suit Any Budget Or Style

By Scott Hamilton


Planning a wedding can be a lot of fun but the process can also involve a lot of stress and worry. Bay Area LGBTQ weddings are no exception to this rule, and many couples wonder how to get the celebration of their dreams without completely blowing their budget. If you are planning your own celebration here are some tips and tricks you may be able to use.

While some couples jump right into planning without setting a budget this can be a bad move unless you have a lot of money available for you to spend. Deciding how much you can afford to spend can help you avoid a lot of stress and worry as time goes on. While some couples may be tempted to take out a loan in order to afford their dream wedding you need to consider whether or not this could cause problems for you at a later date.

Different couples will likely imagine their celebrations in very different ways. Do you know whether you want to have a more formal event or one that is a lot more organic and lower key. One thing to think about is how to incorporate aspects of your relationship and the things that are significant to you and your partner into your ceremony or your reception. This could include hobbies that you and your partner have or details about certain places that you have visited.

Once you have a few ideas about your celebration you can set your date. Waiting until you know where you want to marry before setting your date may seem odd but if you love the idea of being outdoors or if you want to use a seasonal location you may have specific times of the year that would be a better choice. Some venues also change their pricing based on the time of year which can affect your budget.

If you want your celebration to last longer than one day you'll be happy to learn that it is becoming increasingly common for people to plan multi-day celebrations. You may want to consider doing the same thing especially if you want to help your out of town guests enjoy the Bay area. You may want to choose outings and activities that tie in with the theme of your wedding as a way of tying the entire experience together.

While your family may be pushing you to have a large celebration where all of your family is present, this is not always what a couple may want. If you would like a smaller, more intimate celebration you should feel free to plan that kind of wedding. If you want to come up with a compromise, you may want to explore the idea of planning a larger party after.

While you may be tempted to do the planning yourself, this may not be the best route, especially if you are not from the Bay area. A planner who has worked with LGBTQ couples may be able to help you find unique sites for your ceremony or reception. They may also be able to put you in touch with service providers who are happy to work with LGBTQ couples.

While it may seem like a huge and overwhelming task to plan your wedding, it doesn't have to be. If you are clear with what you want and you start your process early you may be amazed at how relaxed and comfortable it feels from start to finish. Then, on your special day, you and your spouse can come together and celebrate spending the rest of your lives together.
