Getting married in June. So far expenses look like this:
125$/person for dinner & reception (includes cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, toast with sparkling wine, 6 course meal and reception hall). Drinks will be extra, so we estimate that about 140$ per person total. We have about 80-85 guests (65 adults at 140$ each and 18 kids at 50$ each). (gifts are usually cash in my culture and will more or less cover the 140$/50$ per person)
Violinists (church, cocktail and dinner) and DJ (evening): 1250$
Church: 500$
Dress: 600$
Tux: about 200$
Center pieces and gifts: about 600$
Limo: 500$
Photographer: 550$ with high res DVD of all pictures (person we know)
Flowers: maybe 200$
Invites: 70$ (we made them ourselves)
Wedding bands: 1300$ for both
I think that's about it.
So, that makes about 16K$ (about 6K$ out of pocket, after gifts).
Not bad, I find. And it's a beautifull venue at a renouned hotel in the country, with gardens and a river for cocktails and evening walks.
