Not including your honeymoon about how much are you budgeting for your wedding?
I sometimes visit the weddingbee message boards and some people's budgets are $1500 - $5000. I'm budgeting way more than that (in fact we spent that on a photographer). Is it just a regional thing? Because most of my friends/family spent more than 30k on a Long Island wedding.

Believe it or not we actually didn't set a budget. We are trying to make smart choices, but are picking what we want. It's looking to be somewhere around the 35K area. p.s. yay for being a 7/4 bride :)

Ours was 35k, but it's been bumped up to about 40k. I kind of expected to go a little over. Long Island is one of the most expensive places in the US to get married. The expectation is also very high here. Other regions don't do weddings like we do!

Ok. So it is regional. Because when I say my budget is around 40k I feel like they think I'm crazy or made of money, but it's really normally to spend that here.

Yeah, that is why I am dedicated to liweddings only! My fiance's upstate family would die if they knew our budget was around 30k...and here I am thinking that's being smart!

i started around 25-30 and it will probably be 33K
Our budget is 30k but we're pretty sure it probably be closer to 35k-40k. And don't worry, that's not at all unusual for a Long Island wedding. It's kind of absurd how expensive things are here...

We didn't set a hard budget but are expecting around 40K, which makes me almost throw up in my mouth.

Was about 30K. Wish I could've spent more. I would've spent less on the dress too so I could have more on the honeymoon!
