WELL...budget is next to impossible for us...if we went on a realistic budget we would be eloping...

I guess I would have to say...a better RD place...if we decide to even have one.

Hmm...

Linens - I wish I could go all out on them. They totally transform a room.

I am sure there are others, but that's at the top of my list!

ETA - a limo bus for ALL of my guests and an after party and maybe the martini bar!

2)Also I would have gotten the extra Vieanese Hour

3)Verdi for my Photographer

4)Rambling Rose Videographer to do like a wedding Story Package they provide where they follow me around the days leading up to my wedding and of course the wedding day.

5) Oh and Eve of Milady Gown but I love my gown but I originally wanted that but was'nt in the budget

Oh they are a friend of the family...I think they do them for $5,000 - $10,000 for a 5 minute show (depends upon the type of fireworks and the number)

I would have a wedding at a beautiful place with only one wedding at a time. Had huge problems with my hall that basically ruined the whole wedding for me!

Other than that... I pretty much got everything I wanted!

Hey Lisa. When I called them I was quote over $10k (it was probably over 5 mins. I guess- don't remember b/c I called 1 1/2 years ago)- plus the halls that would allow it wanted all sorts of insurance, so we had to forgo.... Best of luck studying!
