Cheap Wedding Reception Venues Chicago
Published November 7, 2012 | 
A couple planning to celebrate their wedding in Chicago has plenty of choices to choose from in terms of restaurants, bistros, taverns, pizzerias, brasseries and coffee shops. Chicago has around 5000 places to eat, out of which at least 1000 are perfect for an exquisite wedding.
Today, we will present several cheap wedding reception venues where a happy couple could celebrate their wedding in Chicago. And we start with Yolk, a true American restaurant, found at 747 N. Wells Street. This restaurant offers dishes priced at around $20 and is great for large weddings. To check out the food at this restaurant, a happy couple could order it online or on the phone, because Yolk also delivers food at people’s homes.
The next best option in case of a cheap restaurant in Chicago is the Bongo Room, another American restaurant, offering dishes for $20. The Bongo Room is found at 1470 N. Milwaukee Avenue. Unlike the first restaurant, this one does not deliver food at people’s homes, therefore a happy couple that wants to see how the food at this restaurant is, before booking it for their wedding, has to go there and serve dinner, just like any other client. There should be mentioned though that, in case of a wedding, the chef of any restaurant should offer a happy couple the possibility of tasting samples of foods that will be served at their wedding. So a couple that does not want to spend money on dining out at various restaurants, in order to find the most appropriate one for their wedding, can ask their chefs to provide them with several samples of their best dishes; although couples do not have to pay for this, it would be wise to reward the chefs somehow.

Couples who know very well that their guests prefer barbecues can choose to organize their wedding in Chicago at The Smoque BBQ, a great place for those who love this American dish. This restaurant is found at the 800 N. Pulaski Road, serves dishes priced at around $20 and is highly recommended for its atmosphere. Barbecues can be made of beef, pork, chicken, whatever the customer wants. A wedding organized at this location should be established several months before the event, because this place tends to become very crowded, especially on weekends.
Our last recommendation goes to Chicago Diner, a vegetarian restaurant, preferred by all those who want to eat healthy. Chicago Diner can be found on 411 North Halsted Street, is open from morning until evening and offers great dishes, that are appreciated even by non-vegans. This place is great for a formal and intimate wedding, where guests will be invited to taste some excellent vegan options.

Beautiful Wedding Locations
Published November 7, 2012 | Beautiful wedding locations are found everywhere on this planet, therefore it is pretty difficult to create a top of the most amazing locations on Earth, suitable for a wedding, since there are so many. But it is not that difficult to see what are the best places for an event like this in the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Egypt or Japan. Well, in this article, we have decided to see and present a few words about the most perfect wedding locations in the United States.
And we start with a destination that is selected by many American and foreign couples: Hawaii. Why not say ‘I do’ in Hawaii? By doing this, not only that you will make your guests happy, but you will also have the possibility of spending your honeymoon in the same location.
Another option is represented by Niagara Falls, a city found in New York, and which is the perfect location for some amazing wedding photos. Niagara Falls is mainly known as a honeymoon spot, but this does not mean that a happy couple cannot organize their wedding there; this city is well-equipped for hosting weddings, being represented by plenty of wedding venues.

And how about reciting your vows in the Redwood Forest, California? Whole California is a great place for a wedding, but the Redwood Forest has something in addition; there, happy couples will encounter wineries, incredible restaurants, unspoiled wilderness and all sorts of surfing opportunities. Plus, they can get married in one of the most natural environments ever, being surrounded by the tallest trees on Earth. According to what couples who got married there said, getting married in the Redwood Forest is about the next best thing to having your religious ceremony organized somewhere ‘on the back of a blue whale’.
Orlando is another good option in the US. Weddings organized in this city, in Florida, can benefit of outdoor gazebos, country clubs, garden settings, bed-and-breakfast venues, accommodating staff, knowledgeable waiters and waitresses, friendly restaurant managers and wise reverends. Many wedding vendors activating in Orlando are set to make every wedding seem like a Disney fairytale.
For those who plan a formal wedding in the United States, we recommend getting married at the Huntsville Museum of Art, in Alabama. This is a modern space that offers 4 versatile settings for saying those 2 magical words (‘I do’), plus a large outdoor patio, that will most certainly be remembered by the wedding guests.
Finally, for those adventurous couples, there is nothing like Alaska. Getting married on a glacier, surrounded by mountains, is both bold and crazy. An affair like this will cost happy couples enough, this is why we recommend Alaska to those who plan an intimate wedding; if the happy couple and their guests do not live in Alaska, getting there will cost them a lot, so if they want to keep their expenses low, happy couples should invite just a few friends and family members.

Backyard Weddings Ideas
Published May 22, 2012 | Organizing a backyard wedding is a great idea for those that don't have enough money to rent a wedding venue, such as a restaurant or an outdoor location. However, not all the backyard weddings are cheap and the couple that organizes a wedding in such location must face several challenges. About them and how to throw a perfect backyard wedding, in this article.
Choose the season
There are couples who prefer winters; in this case, a tent must be taken into consideration, because it is obvious that the tables cannot be placed directly in the outdoors. But the best recommendation is to choose spring or summer, because you have more chances for the weather to be appropriate for a wedding, the day you organize it.

Plan the seating
Couples that organize their wedding in the backyard want to spend a very low amount of money on this event and they obviously do not hire a wedding planner. Because of this, they need to plan the whole wedding by themselves.
And one of the first activities is to send the wedding invitations and then, thanks to the responses you receive, to plan a seating. There should be enough tables at the wedding and also enough space between them. The preferred table is the round one and the distance between them should be of around 12 inches. If the tables are square or rectangular, they can be grouped together in order to leave enough space for dancing.

The couple must emphasize the location of the wedding in the wedding invitations, because guests needs to know what dresses and shoes to select for this wedding.
Select the menu
The menu should be the light, especially if the wedding takes place in the summer. Backyard weddings are in general smaller than restaurant weddings, this is what you should pay attention to the preferences of your family and friends. In other words, you should connect the wedding meal to their preferences and offer them only what you know they like. Jazz up the cocktail hour, which takes place in the case of most backyard weddings, with sophisticated drinks and light cookies. During this time, encourage conversation and mingle with the guests, ensuring that everybody feels fine and enjoys the time spent at your wedding.
