What is the most expensive thing so far for your wedding??

I think ours will be food!

My venue is charging an extra $750 to extend all services for an hour. I still think I'm getting a great deal because my FH and I are paying $10K for an all inclusive experience. Caterer, DJ, cake, invitations, venue, open bar is all included. The only thing we decided to exclude and find our own was the photographer. So, it's hard to say what my biggest expense was. But ladies, I'm going through Wedgewood and they are awesome!!!

Food!!!

Venue/food costs and photography/floral come in second. These were my top priorities so I am ok with it.

Hands down food/alcohol is most expensive follow by florist, my dress and photography

Venue/food/alcohol as its all inclusive. Then My dress.

Probably food and alcohol. Food is $65 pp, and we're doing alcohol based on consumption and then bringing our own for an after party. I'm estimating $30-40 pp for alcohol.

Venue and food.

Our venue we are spending over $ 9,000 . But then again it for 5 days and 4 nights for a huge lodge. Thanks to both our parents which has given us cash to help with the huge expense.

Catering by far.

Venue/food/booze, then the band!

Our food for sure...behind that, our photographer and DJ. But it will be worth it!

The reception venue. Granted, it did include our food and open bar for everyone, but we wanted to make damn sure our guests had a great meal, comfortable venue and open bar so we willingly spent the money. Our second most expensive item would've been photography with my dress and videography tying for 3rd.

Food will be the most expensive...$95/meal not incl bar items because we are offering a New England Clam Bake meal as one of the 3 plated options. Luckily I decided to ask if we selected beef and chicken meals from a cheaper food package if we could get that rate and the venue agreed! Those will be $60/plate. But who's going to pick steak tips or chicken over lobster? LOL we've been eager to get the RSVPs back so we can see what the food bill will be.

My top 3 so far

Food

Beer, wine & mixed drinks

Photography & Videography

Our venue was 1/3 of the cost of our wedding. Food and booze will make up just under 1/3 and then everything else.

Definitely venue

Venue /food as it should be imho

Our venue charged $2500 per hour to add on, so $1k doesn't sound so bad Venue was of course the most expensive for us as it included the meal with their in-house caterer and premium open bar. I think the next priciest thing after that was floral & rentals (these were from the same event company, so one big invoice) and then my dress.

If honeymoon counts, definitely the honeymoon! If not, the venue followed by photographer and DJ. Haven't even talked about flowers yet...that may be up there. Why are weddings so expensive?
