Dreaming of a beautiful wedding in Orange County without breaking the bank? You’re not alone. With venue prices, catering costs, and decorations adding up fast, couples often feel overwhelmed. But here’s the good news: you can absolutely have a stunning, memorable wedding on a budget — and still impress your guests.
Whether you're planning a small celebration or a mid-sized event, here are some practical tips to plan a wedding that feels luxurious without the luxury price tag.
The biggest chunk of your wedding budget usually goes to the venue. Look for venues that:
Include tables, chairs, linens, lighting, and decor
Offer flexible catering or allow outside food
Have all-in-one packages to simplify planning
OC Salsa Venue & Banquet Hall, located in Fountain Valley, is a hidden gem for couples looking for elegance and affordability. It’s designed for intimate weddings of 100–150 guests and offers inclusive packages that cover everything from setup to decor — so you can skip hiring multiple vendors.

Smaller weddings are not just a trend — they’re budget-friendly and more meaningful. Focus on inviting close friends and family, which allows you to spend more per guest while still saving money overall. OC Salsa’s capacity is perfect for this sweet spot: big enough to feel festive, but small enough to stay personal.
Instead of extravagant floral installations, go for minimal elegance. Venues like OC Salsa already have mirrored walls, crystal accents, and customizable LED lighting, which creates a gorgeous ambiance without needing much extra. Ask your venue what’s included — you might be surprised how much you can save.
One of the best ways to cut costs is to bring your own food or hire outside vendors. Many high-end venues don’t allow this — but OC Salsa Venue does. You also have the option to bring your own alcohol or use certified bartending services offered through the venue. This alone can save you thousands.
Saturdays in spring and summer are always the most expensive. Consider Friday nights or Sunday brunch weddings, or plan your event during the off-season (November–March) when venues often offer discounts.
At the end of the day, guests remember the love, the vibe, and the fun — not how much you spent. With the right venue and a bit of creativity, you can throw a beautiful, affordable wedding in Orange County that you’ll cherish forever.
