Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
Also moved it out-of-town, so hopefully under 15,000. We just bought a house, I would rather put more money into the house. I'm not scrimping on the wedding at all either, it's just what I wanted.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
I am looking at about $30,000. We are trying to keep it at that since we are going to be buying a house (his parents house when they move to FL) about 2 months after the wedding.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
We are probably going to wind up between $25,000 and $30,000 for everything. Although we have a lot of connections for some of our vendors....

$30,000 budget is what we set for everything ,
and we really hope it stay at $30,000
if we include the cost of the E-ring, Honeymoon, & weding bands it's $60 ouch... I was discussing this w/ FH & I can't believe what he spent on my
don't get me wrong, I love it, but, a house sooner would have been nicer than, a bigger

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
I think we are still on budget and we're looking at around 25K for 150+ ppl sat evening. HM is not included because we won't take it till later that summer and will save up for it separately.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
hmmm not really keeping tabs b/c my parents are paying but not ridiculous...i dont think.....so far 24,000 (about...depends on how many guests) for the hall, 2200 for flowers, 700 for trumpets, thats all we booked so far but I am estimating around $40,000. I think thats moderate but not over the top. That is not including honeymoon or rings. with that i would say $60,000.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
between 40-50k with HM. It is so expensive to have a wedding on Long Island.

Re: If You guys don't mind me asking
We're at 24K for the hall and the photographer. We're trying to pay for the whole thing ourselves, although I think I'll let my dad pay for flowers.All in all, I'm hoping for about 35K. I think its doable, but I might be completely niave!
