5 Amazing Yet Affordable Wedding Venues in Sacramento, CA

Trying to get married in Sacramento on a budget can feel like an impossible challenge, unless you’re willing to hire somewhere that looks a bit like a 70s bingo hall, but with just a little research you can find stunning budget-friendly venues.

The average wedding in California costs $31,437, and couples expect to have to spend half their budget on their venue. However, if you’re looking for a way to keep more of your savings in your pocket or simply leave room in your budget for something else that’s important to you (like your Honeymoon), choosing a less costly venue is a great idea.

So you don’t have to spend hours researching, here are 5 of the best affordable wedding venues in Sacramento, California.

With 12-foot ceilings, mahogany wainscoting, ornate mirrors, and huge paintings the inside space is beautifully atmospheric. The Courtyard is the most popular choice for weddings, with wrought-iron balconies, ivy-covered brick walls, fountains, and a canopy of mulberry and Chinese elm trees.

The rental fee for the venue ranges from $750 to $1,500 depending on the day of the week, time of day, and space wanted, but the price includes tables and chairs, linen, and silverware etc., and a dance floor and bride’s dressing area can be arranged.
