A low cost wedding is not synonymous with a poor or impersonal wedding. It means making the most of your budget, prioritizing what truly matters, and finding vendors who offer quality and style without skyrocketing the cost.
At UAUU, we work with an all-inclusive model that adapts to different price ranges, always maintaining the same level of care in every detail. All-inclusive doesn’t mean basic or limited: we have various options for tablecloths, cutlery, glassware, and decor, which we update every year to offer modern and perfectly maintained selections.
Organizing a low cost wedding is possible when you combine smart choices, vendors who add value, and a team that understands that aesthetics and experience are just as important as the budget. In this guide, we explain how to achieve it without having to give up anything.
What a low cost wedding really means—busting the myth
A low cost wedding is not a second-class wedding. The concept has become popular to refer to celebrations that optimize every euro without sacrificing aesthetics, comfort, or guest experience. The key is to choose wisely where to invest and to work with vendors capable of offering high value within a tight budget.
Setting priorities from the start
The first step to planning a low cost wedding is to sit down together and decide what is essential for you and what can be adapted or even left out. For one couple, photography might be key; for another, the menu or decor. At UAUU, we help balance those priorities within a flexible all-inclusive model, so every wedding keeps its personality without going over budget.
Choosing the perfect venue to optimize your budget
A low cost wedding starts with choosing the perfect venue. Take note of these tips.
The benefits of all-inclusive venues
For a low cost wedding, choosing a venue that offers all-inclusive is one of the smartest decisions. Not only does it simplify organization, but it also reduces costs by avoiding the need to hire multiple vendors.
At UAUU, all-inclusive means much more than just the basics: we offer several ranges of tablecloths, cutlery, glassware, and decor, all renewed each year to ensure every wedding looks modern and well cared for.
Getting married off-season or on weekdays
Choosing dates outside of peak wedding season or opting for a Friday or Sunday can mean significant savings.
This allows you to dedicate more budget to other details that excite you, without sacrificing service quality. In our venues, we maintain the same level of attention and presentation on any date, adapting proposals so every wedding is unique.
Cutting costs without losing quality
For a low cost wedding, the wedding dress and the groom’s suit don’t have to be a huge expense. There are options from emerging designers, renting outfits, or even second-hand dresses in perfect condition. With minor tailoring adjustments, they can look flawless and totally personalized.

Seasonal flowers and decor
Choosing seasonal flowers and reusing decorative elements at different times during the wedding is an effective way to optimize your budget. At UAUU, we have decorative proposals included in the all-inclusive, which lets you save in this area without sacrificing style.
Digital invitations and minimalist stationery
Digital invitations are not only more economical but also more sustainable. If you prefer physical versions, opting for a simple, elegant design rather than very elaborate productions will help you keep the balance between image and cost.
Making gastronomy a highlight without overspending
At a low cost wedding, the menu doesn’t have to be basic. Choosing seasonal ingredients and well-executed dishes is the best guarantee to surprise your guests without blowing the budget. At UAUU, we design menus tailored to each couple, with varied options that always maintain quality and presentation.
Alternative formats: cocktail, buffet, or food stations
Choosing alternative service formats can also help optimize costs. A long cocktail, an elegant buffet, or themed stations offer variety and dynamism without the more expensive structure of a traditional banquet. Our kitchen and event staff care for every detail so that, whatever the format, the dining experience lives up to your big day.
The importance of good planning
Negotiating with vendors
Planning a low cost wedding requires speaking openly with vendors about your available budget. Negotiating packages, adjusting services, and asking for alternatives can make all the difference. At UAUU, working with all-inclusive means starting from a base that already integrates several services, simplifying organization and avoiding hidden costs.
Avoiding unnecessary expenses
It’s easy to get carried away by trends or ideas that drive up the cost of your wedding without adding real value. Setting a clear plan from the beginning and reviewing it periodically helps you focus on what really matters. Betting on the essentials and doing them well is the best way to achieve an elegant celebration within your budget.
Conclusion
Organizing a low cost wedding doesn’t mean settling for less. It means understanding your priorities, making the most of available resources, and surrounding yourself with a team capable of delivering quality and style without your budget spiraling out of control. With the right decisions, it’s possible to host a wedding that moves, surprises, and leaves a lasting impression—without unnecessary expenses.
At UAUU, we believe a well-designed all-inclusive package is the key to success: unifying services like venue, catering, decoration, and coordination not only streamlines planning, but also reduces costs and ensures consistency in every detail.
Our team updates tablecloths, cutlery, glassware, and decorative options every year, so each couple can choose among different options and personalize their day without extra costs.
We’ve seen how couples who chose a low cost wedding have achieved celebrations with the same elegance and attention to detail as weddings with much higher budgets. From outdoor cocktail parties with themed stations to intimate banquets in cozy venues, the key is prioritizing and adapting the design to what truly makes you happy.
