In need of help

Gonna need more than that to be able to help. Location is a big factor. Each state varies in average wedding costs. The size of your guest list is also one of the biggest factors.

What’s your guest count approximately? I would say minimum $10,000 for venue and food for any number over 50

How small do you want to go?

Im looking at 100-150

We are doing 30 guests, our ceremony location is charging $350 and then we are taking everyone out to eat. A lot of restaurants have “private dining” rooms, ours holds up to 30/35 and offer a buffet for $15/pp. I also found a non traditional dress at a department store so it wasn’t super expensive. It all depends on how formal/informal you want to go. If you want the whole shebang and wedding experience you’re gonna have to pay for it. Also if you have a big family I would suggest doing only immediate family and grandparents to cut down the size.

View Quoted Comment Without knowing your budget, you have a few options: 1) an afternoon wedding—like 2 pm—so you can just host a “cake & punch” reception or 2) get catered food—BBQ, Mexican or Italian can be done for about $10-$15 per person.

I'm spending total about $4000 for 80 people.

Check out some local parks. Some might have special areas that aren't too pricy.

Our venue is going to be at a rose garden and it seats 100 people. $485 that's including set up and tear down of 100 chairs.

View Quoted Comment It all depends on how formal or how casual you wanna go. And how many people. Catering is going to most likely be your biggest cost. Your whole wedding can be anywhere from 1,000-10,000+. If you’re wanting to keep it on the cheaper side you’re going to have to cut the guest list
