You can probably get it done, but you’ll need to cut down on things and keep it very simple. It’s actually a pretty penny to have a wedding.
Ours under $3,000. We spent about $2,800 total for 50 guests, looks like will be less guests probably but still spent for that much including plus ones. We saved a lot by doing our own decor and family to help! Our family gave us a lot actually., very grateful. This doesn’t include a honeymoon which is later anyways.
We budgeted $7000 but actually might be greatly under. I have family members that do event planning, decor, and catering. We are going to have a playlist for music and a nacho bar. Much of my family and friends will be volunteering their talents. We will be compensating them even though they do not want any.
We made the mistake of setting a $10k budget before researching and getting an idea of how much things cost on average. Our goal is to stay under $25k.
We live in a high cost of living area, we at first said 10k and then found out it’s pretty much unrealistic. At this point the goal is to stay under 20k, which right now we’re doing pretty good!
We budget between 6-8k for our small wedding. It was difficult to invite our family for a small wedding because we both have large families but it is what it is. Still trying to play it safe with covid as well.
We initially planned on 15k budget.... LMAO! Once we started looking at prices we QUICKLY realized that was not going to work. We’re now up to almost 40k for everything in total for a roughly 80person guest list.....
My original plan was for 10K, but once I realized my venue and caterer was almost that much , 10K was out the window! I'm currently around 15K, and that is with no flowers, DIY reception decor, and a pre-owned wedding gown. This is super reasonable for NYC area, for 50 guests.
My cap is 9k but right now it's looking like it'll be under that. this includes absolutely everything from the venue to the honeymoon. We're inviting 110 people and kept the budget low on the big things (like the venue is only $1,600, the dinner should be less than $1,500 and the honeymoon is only $1,000) and I'm doing my own faux flowers, make up, etc.

Could cover 10 weddings the way some budget. I just can't imagine even having 100k ever. So like throw the best damn wedding money can buy. 😂
