One wedding reception venue that your guests certainly won't be expecting is your own home! If you're lucky enough to own a piece of land that's big enough, using it to hold your wedding reception is a brilliant idea. Not only is it cheap, but it's familiar, and you'll be able to celebrate at a location that means a lot to you. There are no restrictions on how to decorate it or what types of food or entertainment to include, so your own backyard is the perfect place to hold the wedding of your dreams!
