That is definitely a budget you can work with. Our's is about 40-50 . Depends on the honeymoon because of what you want to do and how long. That can easily be half of what you spent on your reception hall.

Best Wishes,

Thomas

Plus it depends on what you want for each vendors responsibilities. We are having our ceremony at our reception hall so some flowers may be redistributed for the reception. Little stuff like that adds up.

You only get married once to the right person who warms your heart and puts a big smile
on your face when you are having a bad day.

Best Wishes,

Thomas
