@kristinaplansweddings: When you add up venue, catering, bar, rentals, florals, and staffing, that number is very normal. That doesn’t mean your wedding has to cost this much, but it does mean your guest count and budget need to align before you book anything. •Set your max budget first. •Pull out 10 percent as a buffer. •Then build the wedding to fit the number, not the aesthetic. Clarity early saves stress later.

My wedding isn’t until 2027 but we got our venue for just under 10,000. We get place whole day, photographer, dj, open bar, appetizers, cocktail hour, outside ceremony and inside reception that just got renovated. We are only 75 people but even 100 would’ve only been under 11,000.

The older I get, the more I side with the dad from “Father of the Bride”. Weddings can be so expensive!

If true, that is a complete waste of money. Sad that anyone would think they needed to spend that much money on a wedding.

Millions of couples marry every year in the USA . Do ya'll think that most pay this kind of money for a wedding? $75,000 is the affluent.

It’s fwee fwee to you💞💞💞 :
How is each guest $500. That is absolutely crazy. What’s being served. Lobster and caviar. Open bar is a separate bill. Maybe $100 at the max but $500. Break down exactly what that includes.

My daughter’s will be around $20,000. That’s two venues, two photographers, videographer, DJ, flowers, food, and alcohol. 300 guests. It’s prioritize the non negotiable and budget the rest.

We’re only having 80 guests for my daughter’s wedding. We’ve already exceeded that. This must not be the actual total cost for everything. I feel like $750 per guest is more accurate.
