Re: Wedding Cost

I would say ours is pretty average for long island. We are spending about 38k for around 175 guests. We settled for a Sunday afternoon vs a Saturday night to stay under the 40k budget my parental gave us. We are paying for the honeymoon so that's 4500 no included in the total

I really haven't added it up but I'm thinking it's about 50k. I have a bad habit, I love to shop

Re: Wedding Cost

Ours is about 35-40K for 150 people, Sat night, in the summer. We didn't really have a 'budget', but we knew we wanted to try and keep the costs down. Its unreal what we could have spent if we had our wedding outside of LI. It kind of makes me sick

ETA that doesn't include HM, bach party, or rings.

Luckily, we are getting a ton of help from both sides of the family, which I am very grateful for.

Excluding HM we were at approx $35Kish for 150 people

THIS!!

Re: Wedding Cost

right around $50K including HM for 200 people on a Friday night in November with a band and an extra hour with Viennese

I definitely cut costs by having a Friday instead of a Saturday and also booking a hall that isn't 'one wedding at a time' - if we did Saturday at a 'one wedding at a time' hall we were considering, it would have been about $10K more

Yeah I definitely saved by doing a Friday night in October! Which was fine with me...I love Friday weddings and fall is my favorite time of year
