How much money did you spend on your wedding?

Question

Wedding & Reception

Answer 1

Our original budget was 10K, but we ended up around $12,500.  The only thing we didn't pay for was the photographer (his parents paid for it).  Oh, we had 78 people attend.

Answer 2

It hasn't happened yet, but our budget is $20,000 and we are tracking to spend $18k.

We are inviting 200 people and budgeting that 175 will attend, although I think final attendance will be lower and that will decrease our final spent amount.

Since location has the most - IMO - to do with the prices you pay, I am located in Central PA.

Answer 3

We Spent less then $6,000. we had 80 guests. Even if i could have spent 60 000, I wouldnt have changed a thing!

Answer 4

Including wedding, reception (150 guests) and honeymoon to Jamaica...we're slightly over $20,000.  We tried to cut corners when possible, but it just adds up regardless.  We wish that we had considered eloping!  :)

Answer 5

Not married yet...

Answer 6

$14,000 - wedding & reception for about 250 guests in downtown Memphis, TN

Answer 7

$6,000 reception - parents are paying it

$3,000 honeymoon - 8 night cruise

$3,000 all the other stuff  - this part is the expensive part.  

Answer 8

$16000

Answer 9

about $14000, which included everything except the honeymoon.

we had about 100 guests, a nice venue, just normal food -- nothing too fancy and an open bar.  i bought and arranged the flowers myself and my dress was about $600.  really, most of it was spent on food and bar.

Answer 10

why do you ask?  

Answer 11

We spent a little over $3000 for everything all together.

Answer 12

$7000

and that's mostly on the honeymoon! :D

Answer 13

Around $10,000 for wedding and reception... Around $2,500 for honeymoon.  

Answer 14

We're budgeting $20,000 for both, but not the honey moon.  Right now we are on track to come a bit under, but I think when it is all said and done we will come about even. I REFUSE to go over budget though.  If something costs more than we budgeted, and there is no money in the budget to pull from something else, we will go without.

As it strands the wedding is going to be gorgeous! A lovely sit-down dinner for 110 people with open bar and all the trimmings.

Answer 15

For the ceremony rentals, reverend, flowers, reception room, caterer, cake, it was about $3,700.00. That was for 45 guests.  Photo and video was a gift from my sister and we burned our own cd's.  I haven't added this up yet, but decorations and favors and other extras are probably another $500.

Answer 16

Less then $1,000 for both.
