Good news, to-be-weds: Your nuptials don't have to cost a small fortune, so long as you choose a wallet-friendly venue, stick with a set budget and follow these money-saving tips. Couples planning to marry in The Sunshine State have plenty of options. Enter the best affordable wedding venues in Florida, which are sure to delight nearlyweds with their stunning spaces and scenery, amenities and value-packed pricing. To determine which venues were truly affordable, we relied on results from The Knot Real Wedding Study, which found that couples nationwide spent an average of $12,800 on their wedding venue.
