What is your wedding budget?

View Quoted Comment We got lucky and I found out that Rocky Mountain National Park has ceremony locations that can hold a max of 60 people and it only costs $250 for a land use permit. And we’re planning on doing the reception at a massive vacation rental home. So it doubles as a place to stay for a big chunk of our guests instead of a hotel and would cost everyone $172/person for a 3 night stay instead of $200/night that all the local hotels are charging. So the cost of that is shared.


My original plan was goi to cost us about $15k xD

Our budget is 16K, 120 invited expecting about 100 to show.

150 people and were at 35k

Our budget was $30k but I think we are going to be closer to 35k, 200 invited but around 120 estimated to come. We are just south of Seattle

Trying to understand how some people are spending 25-30K on guests under 50! Our budget is $10,000 for 100 guests and this includes our attire.

We budgeted 30K for 150 people, open bar.

View Quoted Comment I thought I was the only one who saw that.

View Quoted Comment Lol nope! Just trying to understand where that money is going for little amount of people.

I’m stumped lol

We didnt set a budget but right now were at 1300.00 and not done and well have under 50 people . It was suppose to be a small immediate family only wedding .

View Quoted Comment Lol same here.

We are at $10K as well...The biggest expense is the ceremony and reception venue at $4,000. We plan on having no more than 100 people. This doesn't include rings or decor items, though.

Under $15,000 for destination beach wedding then a reception back home. Not sure how many the reception.

Looking at 20 to 25k for 50 people, not including wedding dress, groom suits etc.

Our budget is looking like $38k for an estimated 225 people. This doesn’t include my dress or any rings. Unfortunately I’m getting married in a very expensive part of the country (Northern MA).

Just over 30k for the wedding for roughly 85 guests. BUT- Includes the weekend stay for 7 rooms at the B&B that we’re paying for to have our children & grandchildren stay. That alone was about 3200. Budget includes everything as well as our Iceland honeymoon.
Rings, venue, rooms, dresses, suits, catering, desserts, decor, DJ, JP.

We will probably come in between 25-28k, depending on how many of our guests come. We invited 160, hoping for closer to 120. That is not including the rehearsal dinner, honeymoon, my engagement ring, or either of our wedding bands. 🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s expensive for sure

View Quoted Comment Girl. I feel you. Reading these comments I’m feeling like I am way over spending. I am in the Seattle area so that’s just what it is..

View Quoted Comment Omg That’s right around the number of ppl we want to invite and budget we want as well. Do you mind sending me any tips to what helped you stay under that budget with so many ppl?

$6,000 for 60 people. That's including everything. I got my dress and it was on sale, so that was a bonus.
