Finding The Perfect Wedding Venue: Try A Funeral Home
Posted on: 11 August 2015
From a young age, many girls (and boys), dream of the perfect wedding. In many fantasies, they see a beautiful venue filled with friends and family, gorgeous flower arrangements and instrumental music floating through the air. The reality of planning that perfect day involves stress that bright eyed children don't plan for in their fantasy: trying to find a venue that isn't taken, trying to keep to a budget and trying to make your wedding more unique than the twenty five other weddings friends have had in the past year. There is a solution to these problems that people around the country are starting to figure out. Have your wedding at a funeral home.
A funeral home? That option sounds crazy at first! If you view funeral homes as places of sorrow, it may be time to try to change your way of thinking. Funeral homes are meant to celebrate life. And what better way to celebrate life then a wedding? Here are some reasons to consider a funeral home for your wedding:
Funeral homes have good availability, are aesthetically pleasing and are likely cheaper than other venues.
Popular wedding venues can be hard to obtain, especially if you are looking at a wedding day during the spring, summer, or early fall. If you aren't planning your wedding a year or more in advance you may not be able to secure a venue that serves your desires or needs. A funeral home is easy to obtain for a specific date in advance. They are usually beautiful, well designed, and comfortable venues.
You will likely save money by choosing a funeral home over a traditional venue. Typical wedding venues can charge high rates because they know people will pay them. A funeral home will have more reasonable prices. The demand to host a wedding at a funeral home isn't significant enough to charge as much as other venues.
You will support local business.
Many funeral homes are run by people in your community. You trust these people to take care of you and your loved ones during a vulnerable time, so you can trust them to take care of you on your special day. Having your wedding at a funeral home will help the owners bring in revenue they wouldn't have had before.
Some people don't want a religious based ceremony.
If you aren't active in a church your options for your wedding ceremony are more limited. Having a church wedding may be an obvious solution for a religious person, but not everyone wants a religious ceremony. If you want a wedding without the religion, a funeral home is a solution.
You will have a unique wedding.
If you are looking for a way to stand out from the crowd, having your wedding at a funeral home is a great way to do it. You will have a special day that cannot be compared to any of your friends' weddings. People will be talking about your wedding for years to come—in a good way!
More and more funeral homes are starting to have separate areas for receptions, and many even have their food and liquor licenses. If you are looking for a unique, cost efficient way to have a beautiful wedding that you will remember forever, contact a local funeral home like Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel PA to see if they would be interested in hosting your ceremony.
