What exactly is an unconventional wedding and will it be cheaper?

There are many ways to make a wedding unusual — from choosing an unusual venue, casual attire, through unique decor to an unconventional menu. Let's look at it step by step.

Have you chosen a wedding in an unconventional place and need to provide food and snacks? Wedding catering can be transported and prepared at any location.

What to think about when planning a catering in an unconventional place:

  • Distance:The further we have to travel, the higher the cost of transportation can be. However, we will calculate all the costs for you in advance, so nothing will surprise you.
  • Availability:Make sure the place is accessible for vans and regular vehicles. Also consider how your guests will get there. It may be necessary to arrange transportation for them as well.
  • Food preparation:If the chosen place lacks a kitchen, it doesn't matter — we can provide food and snacks even in remote places.
  • Electricity:If the place does not have electricity, we will provide you with a generator.
  • Tent and seating:If there is a lack of covered space on site, we will provide a tent and other amenities such as tables and chairs.
  • Arrangement and cleaning:We will take care of the preparation of the place before the wedding and the cleaning after it.
  • Weather:Remember that the weather can be unpredictable. A backup plan for adverse conditions is a must.

Tips for unconventional places:

  • In nature:Say “yes” to yourself in the open air in the bosom of beautiful Slovak nature.
  • Museum of Art:A wedding in a museum or gallery among works of art will create a unique atmosphere.
  • Ski resort:A winter wedding in the mountains offers romantic views.
  • Farm:A picturesque farm surrounded by hills and meadows is perfect for a rustic wedding.
  • Beach:Sunset or sunrise by the lake is an unforgettable experience.
  • Courtyard:You can have a more intimate wedding in your own or family yard.

Choosing an unconventional venue will bring a unique dimension to your wedding. Although such places often do not have restaurant or hotel facilities, this does not have to be an obstacle.

In conclusion

There are many options, but the choice is yours. Ultimately, it all depends on your personal preferences and values as a couple. If you are unconventional and creative with your partner, perhaps an unconventional wedding will suit you more. Non-traditional weddings can often be cheaper because they may not require as many formalities. Also consider the preferences of your guests, if your guests are more traditional, they may appreciate a more formal event. If you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds, you may want to consider incorporating cultural traditions into your wedding.

After all, the best wedding is the one that reflects your personal style and values as a couple. Whether you choose a traditional or non-traditional wedding, the most important thing is that you and your partner are happy on your special day.
