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

@emily - unless you have cash flow to be able to afford what you want just saying.

Venue and food

Photographer!

Small wedding, BIG honeymoon

Food or Beer. So far I've lucked out and have gotten great deals on everything else..dress, decorations, etc

Reception venue (includes food and drinks), followed by our flowers/decor/DOC package and then our band.

Cash flow? What does that have to do with anything? Even for a very high end wedding, with no budget, food/bar/venue usually makes up the largest percentage of the budget. It's about percentages and breakdowns and food/beverage/venue is typically around 50% of the total budget. Unless you go super high end on the dress and cheap out on the food I guess. Or you have a very small guest list as I said.

Our venue is a little over 30% of our budget, and it includes DJ, DOC, valet parking, and some decor but not food & alcohol. Food and drink together will probably be another 30%

My parents are footing a lot of the bill (lucky us I know), so I don't see the budget really. But I imagine it is the venue, food/drinks, photographer, dj, my dress (I paid for that lol), the ceremony/priest, then the smaller stuff.

Ours is venue/food. Our photographer is a close second though
