Less then $20,000 and that is inculding airfare to New Orelans and our & day Caribean Cruise as well as my attire, our bands and the whole day including tips! And the only reason it got close to 20,000 was because we lost some money postponing the date.
We had 200 guests at the Imperial Manor and they threw in our cake, centerpieces and our vientennse as well as a cordials bar as extra to our sit down dinner.
We didn't pull out any stops at all! We just spent our money very wisely and we used Commack Wedding Center for my dress and alterations as well as Video and digital photography!

Re: HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING
Wow! Holy Cow! I can't believe how much some of you all paid. Heck my BA from John Jay including books and commuting cost me less then 30,000. I can't even imagine spending more on my wedding then my education. Did you make it back in gifts or break even.?? We didn't but we also only gave our guests 3 weeks notice on our new date and Dh family and friends all travelled.
Did you all have long engagements to save up for it?? We were only 22 when we got engaged and got married 7 months later at 23.

Re: HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING
Oh wait, I voted and i need to change it, I did not include my Honey moon in that amount. SO I would be about 30,000 with the Honey moon, maybe a bit more, with the spendig money on the HM.

Re: HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING
My prices also depend on how many people will be going to reception: If it's 100, the reception will cost a little less than $9,000. If it's more, then it can come out to $12,000 which would just suck. Then it's $2000 for photography. Then I figure $1000 each for photography and limo. Then I'm hoping invitations and favors together wouldn't come out to more than $500. The dress, tiara and veil was $900. Then it's other little things. Crap, I hope I stay less than $20,000.
