Is this a good price to pay for 50 guests?

Question

We're thinking about going with the classic plan.

Answer 1

Sounds pretty fair...and how cute!

Answer 2

That's pretty cheap compared to my area in southwestern CT!  But everything around here is expensive!

Answer 3

It's not an awful price, but it's not a good price either. I don't know in your area, but  in my area you can find a lot of venues that will provide all of that for free (or quite a bit cheaper) with the catch being that you have to use their catering/bar/cake vendors (which you have to do anyway). $650 also seems high for an enchanted garden ceremony considering I am booking a gorgeous garden in the largest city park in my area (Como Park in St. Paul) for $350.

My advice, check it out and if it's really spectacular and what you've dreamed about then go for it. Otherwise pass because you can probably find something better for less $.  

Answer 4

your being robbed

Answer 5

I would look around. My friend paid that much for 250 guests. Then again your city may have more expensive halls then we do.  

Answer 6

It seems like you'd be getting a lot of things that you'd normally have to rent...so as long as the additional costs for food and alcohol are within your budget, go for it!

Answer 7

that's not bad. we are paying $300 for our hall rental and $30 a plate for about 50 - 60 people.  And we are doing our wedding under $7000.  I think that is a reasonable price to pay.  If you start going too low on price you'll have to start sacrificing quality as well.

Good luck and Congrats!

Answer 8

I looked at the worksheet and it looks like it works out to about $3,500 with the garden ceremony.  That sounds fair.
