Ask Beverly: Is an outdoor wedding less expensive than an indoor wedding in a ballroom?

Beverly I'm on a budget and was wondering if having my wedding outdoors in less expensive than an indoor wedding in a ballroom?

No, when you add in all the things you'll need to rent (like tents, tables, chairs, silverware, china lights, etc.) it can add up to even more.  So don't rule this option out, as you can make it work in your budget, but don't look at this as an always cheaper answer to your prayers. The same goes for an at home wedding.  Once you add in extra rental expenses and the costs for before and after site cleaning, it can run you more in the final budget.

Camarillo House Wedding | Diana and Daniel

Planning Diana and Daniel's wedding at Camarillo House was very exciting.  Not only did we have the opportunity to hire our own fabulous vendors, but to work at a historical venue. Camarillo House is a Queen Anne-style Victorian house and a fantastic wedding location in Camarillo, California, just outside of Santa Barbara. Built in 1892, the 6000 sq ft house was designed by architects Herman Anlauf and Franklin Ward. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The estate provides various indoor venues perfect for elegant wedding reception halls, banquet areas, and dance floors. If you prefer some fresh air, the are also vast lawns and gardens that create beautiful sites for outdoor wedding ceremonies and/or outdoor receptions. Gloria Mesa Photography did such a wonderful job at capturing the ambiance and style of the day.  Thank you Gloria.
