Re: If You guys don't mind me asking

We are having an out of town wedding and i think it is the smartest thing we could have done. we went from looking at a 20-30K wedding (although i would have liked to keep it under 20 i knew that wasn't going to happen) and now we are looking at under 10K for everything including honeymoon

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking

I am looking to keep it at $25K for a sun nite wedding. This doesnt include tuxes or my dress. So far we have been underbudget, but that will certainly change

ETA; doesn't include honeymoon either

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking

It's going to be about $40k for a Friday night. We've only booked 3 vendors and we've already commited to $27K. It's so expensive.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking

Our wedding when all is said and done will be about $60,000 - $65,000 - man, it hurts to see this!!! We have a Sat. night wedding with a band so we of course are on the pricey side alone w/those two selections.

At times I think it's insane to spend this much money, but I wouldn't want to do it any other way. FH and I are paying for our wedding so I think the day of our wedding we will have such a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that we were able to do it on our own.

Now, if we could just hit some super bowl pools......

Edited for spelling.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking

ug, just our hall alone is around $45,000. It will probably be around 60,000-65,000 when all is said and done. Things are so bloody expensive on Long Island!

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking

Including everything for the ceremony, reception, little things, vendors, dress and honeymoon. I'm hoping total cost is no more than 40K, we're already at 26K and thats only for reception, photo/video, and DJ.
