When it comes to planning your wedding, you really don’t have much until you have your venue. Almost everything depends on it: The date, the size, the flowers, the budget—even the dress!

I was blown away at the prices of some photographers. I had to re-adjust my photographer budget when I saw that even the “lower priced” people were still coming in around $3k. Some out there are upwards of $6k! Like you, I have no desire to spend lots of money on a wedding. I just want fun with my friends and family.

We went with a restaurant, so venue + caterer combined. Plus that keeps the food costs down (no upsell for a wedding)

I’m with you on this planning stuff. Stressful, and all these things I didn’t think I had to consider. Don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, either.

Good luck!

First of all, congratulations. It seemed like you everything is pretty much covered. There are really a lot of things to do and expenses to be paid in a wedding. It’s not really that easy but it will all be worth it. We tend to spend a huge amount when it comes to our wedding because it is definitely one of the best moments in our life but i do believe, we really don’t have to spend a big amount of fortune. Anyway, the photographer’s fee is really something. I think it’s really expensive. You can probably find a cheaper one.

In reply to Marissa@Thirtysixmonths. They surely can! Definitely a good idea, but now we're struggling with where to find people who want to build their portfolios - haha.
