The average cost of wedding items? Experienced coordinators help? Well, I found a place like that costs $ 6,500 for 75 guests. For the ceremony, reception and dinner, table centerpieces, cakes and cutting costs, safety (I do not feel comfortable not having to personal reasons), DJ, etc.
I have to buy the following things. How should I look to spend on average?
Officiant / Minister
Calla Lily bouquets, corsages, buttonholes (Real or silk)
Paper for invitations, RSVP cards and place cards (printing is free)
Red wine or white (price per bottle?)
What percent of the budget should be devoted to the reception, and when I say that the reception is included in all this?
I mean, I get a lot included in this package. My dress is $ 680 (which is everything except shoes), my hair / nails / makeup must be a total of $ 160, I'm candy in tulle bags for favors for $ 40ish, we spend $ 400 on rings, probably $ 35 dollars on the knife and server, and flutes, and I'm eager to create a tree of about 30 instead of a book because I'm going to a wedding album with photos ... and tags alongside guests on the album, etc.
I had some harsh responses yesterday saying that I unrealistc. However, our budget is $ 11.500 (I even found a photographer who is only $ 700 for six hours). This includes the honeymoon, I do not know exactly when and where we go, we just want to get away haha. The cost of receiving ($ 6.5) is taxes and service included ... It is linen, napkins, tableware, table decoration, installation ceremony, cake, lots of extras that are included in the package. Is $ 6,500 on all this too much for my budget??
$ 6500 for me was very similar until you started to say what is included. There is no way you can do all this for this price. Anyway you're not on the budget so that leaves room to spare! I think you have found a very good deal! It does not matter what others think as long as you're happy!
We paid about $ 4K for a single all-inclusive place in our marriage. Includes wedding and reception, food, cakes, DJ, decorations (except for flowers), etc. for 4 hours. If I had to redo it, I do not want the DJ included, but I want to choose my own.
Officiant should be about $ 200. $ 700 for a photographer is very cheap. Maybe too cheap.
Photographer and DJ are two very important day of your marriage. Spend more time with your photographer that your spouse or other family member or friend. The day will pass so quickly, you do not remember well, and your pictures will your memory to rely on. The DJ will keep you entertain and keep the movement, even if your guests do not get bored and go away. Do not underestimate the impact of a good DJ for your reception.
