Planning the biggest day of your life? No pressure. Actually, that’s a big fat lie. It’s lots of pressure (for most) and the pressure is felt on your finances too.
If you feel the purse strings tightening, you’re not alone. The need to borrow money around the time is pretty normal, you’re not alone if you’re thinking about this option.
As the name would lead you to believe, a Wedding Loan is a loan taken out to help cover the costs of a wedding. This can be anything from wedding attire to the wedding reception.
A wedding can be a drain on even the most financially prepared people as there is just so much to pay and plan for. It can also be a little bit difficult because, in general, people are less likely to want to compromise or make massive sacrifices from their wish list for their big day.
Like all things Nimble, it’s pretty easy and straightforward. Opting to get a Nimble Loan for your wedding day means you can get funds easily and quickly.
The first thing you should do is work out how much you’d like to borrow. At Nimble we have two types of loans - a Nimble Small Loan and a Nimble Medium Loan. Each loan comes with different features and associated costs. So, in order for you to understand which option is most suitable for you, you need to understand how much money you would like to borrow.
The below table outlines the costs associated with each loan.
| Loan Feature | Small Loan | Medium Loan |
|---|---|---|
| Establishment Fee | 20% of loan amount | $400 fee |
| Loan Amount | $300 - $2,000 | $2,050 - $5,000 |
| Costs | 20% of loan amount + 4% of loan amount each month** | Application fee of $400 + 47.6158% p.a. Comparison rate^: 65.6597% p.a. |

There are lots of advantages of lending with Nimble; we’re fast, reliable and straightforward. Planning for a wedding can be so stressful, both on you and on your bank account, and that's one of the reasons we make lending with Nimble super easy.
Everyone's definition of “Small Loan” is different. Maybe the Small Loan offering at Nimble doesn’t meet your needs. If that’s the case, don’t worry - we also offer a Medium Loan. We’ve outlined the difference in both these loan types below to help you best understand what is the most reasonable solution for your loan needs.
Here are just a few of the benefits of lending with Nimble:

1. DIY with the power of Social Media
Once upon a time, not long ago, weddings involved buying lots of brand new and expensive items. These days, the power of social media has empowered lots of brides and grooms to embrace DIY. In doing so,
you’re saving funds and adding something a little bit more personal to your wedding day. Pinterest is the home of many creative DIY wedding ideas, but try searching relevant hashtags on Instagram too as
this channel is ever growing with plenty of DIY wedding ideas.
2. Plan and budget
It goes without saying that planning and budgeting are really important when it comes to your big day. The issue with this is that lots of people don’t actually understand how to start budgeting for such a big event.
It’s naturally going to be a challenge, as it will be new territory for most.
The hardest part is starting. Don’t overthink it. Create a simple list of everything you can think of that is required and walk through these step by step and assign approximate costs, get quotes and adjust your approximations when necessary. If you have a friend or family member who got married recently, ask them to help you. The earlier you start the list, the more time you have to look for discounts.
3. Chin up
Polite reminder: this is supposed to be the happiest day of your life! Your Wedding Loan is going to help fund the memories and celebrations. Try not to get stressed by the administration of event planning and
organising, give yourself enough time, ask for help from your loved ones, and plan, plan, plan.
