    The venue can definitely can help with cutting down on costs when decorating! I had the same mindset with my ceremony site. There was a garden surrounding it so I didn’t have to spend a lot on flowers for parts of the wedding.

    Our venue has big beautiful windows that we didn't want to takeaway from, we didn't do too much decorating. We decorated and got our centrepieces ready, but our venue set up the tables and chairs.

    We had a day of Coordinator who put everything together for us and took everything down. I jad given her photos of how i wanted centerpieces, head table front entrance table and cake table to be so she knew exactly what to do. Best decision we made!

    Our venue is providing the basics like linens, cutlery, flatware, lighting, tables, chairs and charger plates. We have access the day before to set up our reception and since they are having a business use the ballroom our ceremony will be in until noon on our wedding day, they are setting up the ceremony items for us

    Our venue provided the basics items (linens, cutlery, flatware, lighting, tables, chairs etc) All my DIY items I brought in large bins, labelled with instructions of where to place and the staff set it all up for us. They even boxed everything up at the end of the night. We didn't have to pick it right away - were able to go 2 days later.

    Me, my FH, family, and bridal party are all pulling together to get most of the set up done. The venue assists with the aisle and altar, and they gather everything up at the end of the night for pick-up the next day (a fantastic bonus, we can just enjoy the night without worrying about clean-up!)

    Myself, fiancé and the wedding party will be going to do set up - at the end of the night the venue staff will pack everything up and put aside for us to take at the end of the night

    We brought a lot of our decor but the venue was simple and modern and came with it's own pretty touches as well. I arrived earlier with my husbands children so with their help we set things up, we arrived about 1.5 hrs before guests arrived.

    Our Venue included decor at our choice and will take everything down. Anything that we use for the wedding they will pack up and place it in the car we designate.

    Love how easy and stress free it is.

    Our venue was affordable to rent for the day before and the day after so we did that. I DIYed most of our decor. I had everything needed for each table in a box labeled with the table number on it. It was so simple the groomsmen were setting up the centerpieces!
