    Oh no! Our venue didn't include much either but did require us to hire certain vendors in certain categories. I honestly got a bit of buyer's remorse after signing the contract.

    Are you happy with the venue you changed to?

    At first I said $5,000. Then quickly realized how difficult that would be based on our guest count, etc. Bumped it up twice since then.

    Haven’t set one. Just trying to do as much as I can by myself. And pinch pennies where I can

    YES, it was a package deal! Venue, decor and catering. Before, I had the venue, but had to call vendors on their list (which we out of our budget).

    We hadn’t really changed it. We’ve pretty much stayed within out budget thus far. Other than the food, favors and wedding party gifts, we will have all balances paid in full next week thank God!

    We haven't really set a budget. Right now the plan is to pay what ever we need to pay but try to be as budget friendly as possible

    At this point I’m pretty sure we’ve increased the wedding budget like 3 times. Considering that several times my FH has just said, “listen, I’ll pay for this myself because there’s no way we can cover it on the budget...”, it’s safe to say that we have no budget apparently.

    We haven't really changed our budget. Although we have gotten some absolutely wonderful deals on some of our vendors. This is really help to decrease the total we originally thought we would be paying from the start!

    I redistribute all the time. I keep our budget, however as we save on items I move the money around so we can splurge in other areas that are more important to us.
