$45,ooo for just the RH hall??? ...ouch

We're spending around $8,000 on the hall (40 guests for a Saturday evening in the summer--pricey, but we have the entire place and the grounds to ourselves for the whole day.)

$2,000 DJ/MC (includes accoustic guitar for ceremony and cocktail hour)

$2,000 photographer (two of them)

$250 officiant

Invites will be below $150. Flowers $300. We are still searching for a videographer but would only like to spend $600.

250. She is a full service planner so she is doing everything not just day of she charged just around 10% of the total budget. I want a lot of flowers, big elaborate centerpieces. Also ceremony decor. when all is said and done I will probably spend more than 7,000 in flowers but my FH and I have planned and saved for a long time. We have a certain look and feel that we want for the wedding.

The RH costs that because of the changes we made to the menu and the number of guests.
