Budget Average Costs

What is an average budget on weddings?

It's hard to say an average cost, because some of our brides have $1000 weddings and some have $35,000 weddings or more and everything in between. One of our brides spent over $150,000 on her wedding. It depends on the number of guests you have, the location, and how elaborate you want it. Some brides spend 3 to 4 thousand on their dress alone, while others spend $500 or less. Also different parts of the country cost more or less for the same size function. With 100 to 150 guests you can probably figure somewhere in the $10,000 to $20,000 range for a sit-down meal reception. We recommend that you first figure out how much you have to spend and then fit the wedding around the budget. We do not recommend going into debt or your parents going into debt to host a party that will last one day. You can have a beautiful wedding on a small, realistic budget.
