Traditional wedding venues don’t come cheap, but a little can go a long way if you’re willing to consider alternatives.

It’s hardly surprising that smaller venues and village halls are growing in popularity for many brides and grooms. Now you have your venue, it’s time to transform it – here are three ways you can do that without breaking the bank.

Atmosphere

Creating the right ambience for your wedding venue is very important.

As a Birmingham entertainment company, over the years we have met many couples who have concerns about creating the right atmosphere for their guests. Will people dance? Will people stay long enough at the evening reception? Of course they will!

We’re one of the best DJs in Birmingham, so we know a thing or two about getting the party started!

We’ve been a wedding supplier for more than a decade and we’ve seen how good lighting and a good playlist are key to a great atmosphere.

Use uplighters to soften the room and find tunes for your playlist that everyone can enjoy. Even in smaller spaces, simply cover the wall with star cloth draping to instantly transform the venue.

We’d be happy to advise on the best way to create atmosphere, no matter what space you’ve got available.

Create a focal point

We’ve been a wedding supplier in Birmingham for more than 10 years and have been lucky enough to be part of hundreds, if not thousands, of weddings. We’ve noticed that you don’t need sprawling venues in order to make a big splash.

In our experience, if you are using a smaller space, creating a centrepiece or focal point can help to balance the room.

Our LED letters and furniture are particularly popular for transforming spaces and if you have a bit more room to play with, it’s worth considering starlit dancefloor hire.

Whilst it can be tempting to go for everything a Birmingham entertainment company has to offer, try not to get too carried away as you can lose the effect.

Talk to us about the packages we have available, we’d be happy to pull together something bespoke to suit your requirements.

Don’t forget – the memories

Finally, make sure you give your guests some great memories from your special day. We speak to a number of couples after their weddings and most of the time, they tell us that before their wedding they thought minor things were important, like matching table stationery or centrepieces.

In hindsight, it was more about connecting with family and friends, and celebrating together.

What better way to do that than with photobooth hire? You’ve probably seen these at a number of weddings and isn’t it great when you all pile into a booth, don some silly hats and feather boas, and grab a snapshot that you can take home with you afterwards?

Photobooth hire shouldn’t just be considered as an “added extra”, they very much add to the atmosphere of the room. Again, even if you have a smaller venue, they will often attract interest because you can usually find a group of people gathered around them and having a laugh.
