In today’s challenging economy, many brides are looking for cost effective ideas for their wedding reception. Having a reception in a church gym is one way to cut costs and still have a beautiful event! Most churches allow brides to use their gym at no charge. Another perk—you aren’t locked into using a specific (and usually expensive) caterer. Family and friends can prepare and serve delicious refreshments at a fraction of the cost that a caterer would charge.
But wait a minute, what about the decorations you ask? Let’s face it, no one wants basketball hoops in the background of their reception photos. Not to mention the big, bright overhead lights and less than attractive walls and accordion doors. Fortunately, decorating gyms has come a long way over the past few years! One local company, Legacy Weddings and Events offers ceiling to floor draperies and an overhead canopy that completely hide unattractive walls and basketball hoops.
Along with the draped walls and ceiling canopy, Legacy Weddings uses special lighting techniques to create a romantic and elegant mood. Backlighting behind the draperies, miniature lights in the ceiling canopy and even lights underneath the tables replace the bright overhead lights to make your evening magical.
Custom table linens, white padded chairs, and beautiful centerpieces are the finishing details that will leave you and your guests in awe. You don’t need to spend a fortune on your reception to make it the most unforgettable event of your life!
