TOTAL COST OF WEDDING - ESTIMATE!

How much do you girls think your entire wedding is going to cost? When I add it all up, I feel like it's a crazy amount.. and want to make sure I'm in the same ball park as most.
I will definitely be over 50 K

I'm guessing 25k.

FYI, I don't include the cost of the honeymoon in the wedding. I know some girls do but I don't b/c even if were doing a civil thing at city h all, we'd still be taking a honeymoon.

it won't be the same as most, there is no one amount or range mosst ppl pay. Some pay $15-20k, others $30-40k, 50k-60k and then even 75k-100k and higher.

Remember that catering hall will be biggest expense and some have 80 guests while others will have 300 guests and that will be a HUGE difference. Then everyone does different things, some get high cp's others dont. Some get married at an RH and wont rent limo's. Some spend a lot on a dress while others don't. Some will be around same price range as you while others will be a lot less and others more.

I wouldn't pay so much attention to what others are paying, but more to what is your budget and what you can spend.

I had close to 300 guests so our RH bill alone was at the $50k range, but somebody can do the exame same type of wedding i did and have half the guests but meanwhile their budget would be half of what mine was based on that alone. Even if everything else was identical

i wish we had less lol, wouldnt have minded to pay half of my rh bill lol but dh has a huge family so no choice. Just his family were 100 guests or more alone

This really depends on so many different factors: how big the wedding is, when you're having it, if you want lots of additional foods, how many people you are transporting, how much your gown is, etc. etc. etc.

However, I think a reasonable AVERAGE (so it could be way more or way less) for a Long Island wedding is prob b/t $25,000-$40,000

I really hope no more than $35k....

Over 50K at this point...Depends on the total RSVPs

I was hoping to not top $35k, but it looks like it'll be a little closer to $40k... that's NOT including the HM. Add another $7500 for that...... Then add in the approximate $35k we have to bring to our closing on May 1st...

I wish money grew on trees... Don't ask where all this money is coming from....
