What is your wedding budget?

We are at 30K for 100 people. We would love to budget less, but we can't seem to find any corners to cut. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

View Quoted Comment Help! We have a budget of 10k for 150. How are you keeping yours in budget? I haven't found my dress yet but know it will be 750bor less but venue options are so expensive and causing me to worry about how low our budget is!

We've decided on a 30K budget for guest list 150-175 which will include attire and rings "fingers crossed".

65k for roughly 200-225 people (inviting 260), possibly 70k. This doesn't include our honeymoon, which will probably be 10k.

This is what happens when you are doing a Vietnamese, Catholic, AND Star Wars wedding in downtown San Francisco. We are paying for it ourselves (split down the middle), as we make good money.

Well Mine was 1200.00 lol but now just for my Wedding it will cost me $1500.00 and I am still looking for a small Gathering afterwards hope to spend less.

View Quoted Comment Yes I agree it gets high Especially if u want to invite other people coming out of town. My Wedding isn't till June 2021. I am planning now because I dont want the headache of $ and We are house Shopping to. I live in Ga we are narrowly down to 25. Which includes our Bridesmaids and Flowergirl and Groomsmen. I think for 25 Guest it is $ 1500.00

View Quoted Comment I think our honeymoon is moving into out home lol

Budget 15k for 150 people. Right at the number with about 170 people.

View Quoted Comment Yea even though we planned early on, there was still some things that just forced our hand in cancelling. It's sad and very unfortunate but you have to do what you have to do.

View Quoted Comment I agree on that. I found a Wedding Venue in Waco. Ga for 1500.00 just for the Wedding. And I think afterwards we are going to have a small Gathering afterwards for the reception.

View Quoted Comment Same. 1000% lol

Ours is 5k for 160 guests in southern Wisconsin. That's everything except the honeymoon. So far we're at about 1700 with all the big things (photography, music, venues, flowers, decor, attire, rings, cake) taken care of already. All we have left to do is food and alcohol.

View Quoted Comment I have a comment above that states exactly what we've done but our 3 big savers were venue our house- other cheap options would be parks and rec building in your area usually relatively inexpensive. Doing our food ourselves. Prepping foods a head of time then just keeping them warm day of we're having a taco bar. And low rental costs by barrowing tables and chairs from our church and centerpieces & other decor barrowed from friends and family! Good luck to you! You definitely have to be patient with such budget but you can do it!

5k for 50 people. That includes dress, food, venue etc. I'm working on my higher ed budget.

View Quoted Comment Lol my FH and I have talked about staying in a hotel where we live and just watching Disney+ for a couple days lol

I wanted to keep our budget at 10k for 100 guests. Right now the food is looking to be $11658 for 106 guests and all other fees will be about $4739 (photographer, hair stylist, invitations, decor, flowers, shuttle, guest gifts, ceremony, officiant fee). I still haven't decided about DJ or a band. I want to hire a band but it's three times as much as the DJ. Either way I'm more than 50% over my initial budget. If I hire the band it will be more like 20k.

Well we cut out a lot. We didn't have a DJ or videographer or anything like that. Our honeymoon night was spent at a local hotel with a Jacuzzi tub. We kept things simple and that helped everything.

View Quoted Comment We wanted simple, but my FH is an only child, so we met in the middle of small 30 person destination wedding in Vegas vs their 300 person idea lol.

Since it is just 50 to 55 guests coming, I would say $32,000 or $40,000. Luckily my fiance had been saved up money for the big day before we met.

View Quoted Comment Our Wedding budget was just 1200.00 but I went over 300.00 to get the Wedding I wanted. Minus the Cake and DJ will be extra.
