There’s a lot of planning that goes into tying the knot, but arguably the most important step is setting a budget. Wedding catering in Dallas - Fort Worth can get pricey. But options like Sonny Bryan's can help bring your budget in check!

Here are four tips for planning on wedding on a budget:   

Identify Your Must-Haves 

Decide what’s non-negotiable and where you can afford to splurge. When you think of your dream wedding, what is most important? The food? The photographer? The dress? It’s your wedding, so there’s no wrong answer; just remember everything can’t be a must-have. Decide what you want the most and let that guide your spending.

Select the Right Venue 

Choose where you want to celebrate your nuptials. Destination weddings are often more expensive, so finding somewhere local is a great way to cut costs. Do you have a beautiful backyard–or know someone who does? If so, rent a big tent and host the party at home. If you’re in Dallas, you can rent Sonny Bryan’s Mustang Room, perfect for parties with up to 75 guests!

Find the Best Caterer

Wedding catering is often one of the greatest expenses, but Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse offers one of the most affordable options in Dallas–without compromising quality or service. We have a variety of barbecue catering packages so you can select the best package for your budget, as well as customize your menu with personal touches. Hiring Sonny Bryan’s as your Dallas catering company guarantees top-tier Texas barbecue, hassle-free delivery and a memorable meal. 

DIY When You Can

Save money by doing it yourself! If you’re crafty or enjoy a project, you can make your own invitations, decorations, or even floral arrangements. Skip the DJ and set up a speaker with a killer playlist or ask a friend to help with entertainment. A wedding is a great excuse to call in a favor, so recruit your friends and family to see what you can accomplish together.
