The afternoon wedding is becoming a more popular option for couples planning their wedding, for various reasons. The first, and main reason is the cost-saving potential.

• Many venues may offer a discounted price for an earlier affair.
• Less elaborate food is needed. (You’re not serving your guest dinner)
• Guests are likely to drink less alcohol or may not drink at all.
