An Off Season Wedding, Is It Cheaper?

Weddings are expensive no doubt about it.
The parties, the dresses, the flowers, the reception hall, the food, the music, the drinks and the honeymoon all have to be paid for by the couple and their families.
The off season varies by area of the country on each continent.
But wherever you are the off season wedding will be big on savings.
During peak months when dates are plentiful the vendors of wedding fare do a brisk business and the demand makes the supply more expensive.
However the opposite is true of those months when there is a shortage of business.
The supply is overstocked and much cheaper.
Couples can negotiate for greater bargains during those months.
The most popular months for weddings in most states are "May through October" after that business drops off considerably.
Doing your homework before hand and cataloging prices for things you will need during the peak months will help you to negotiate an even greater bargain for yourselves.
January, February and March tend to be the least popular months for a wedding.
This is especially true in areas that experience a hard winter.
The lessening of the demand makes the prices infinitely lower.
This is true for catering, photography, flowers and most other things are cheaper during off seasons.
Only at Easter and Valentine's Day will the flowers be more expensive.
Negotiating will be a large part of what you do for an off season wedding most vendors already have adopted some type of discount policies, if they do not you can set a precedent.
You may be able to eve get a discount rate on the honeymoon.
Booking the honeymoon hotel and travel to destinations that experience an off season can make a big difference in the type of accommodation's you can afford.
