how much dose a wedding cost?

Answer 1

Depends on what you're planning. It could be as simple as a quick ceremony, or as elaborate as a horse drawn carriage and a full orchestra.

Try knot.com for some ideas and go to some local bridal fairs. You'll quickly get an idea. But a nice small wedding for 100 could easily cost $5-20K depending on how fancy you wanted it to be.

Also, negotiate!!! There are lots of ways to make your wedding more affordable (changing the day of the week, booking over a cancellation, skipping some of the things that aren't important to you, etc.)

Answer 2

When I got married the first time between the wedding, reception, pictures, dresses etc it was over $40k (yes my mother had a field day) when got married the second time it cost $95 the cost of the license, judge and gas to get to the court house. Just remember it doesn't matter how much you spend you are just as married going to the court house as you are in a big church. All that metters is you love each other and that it is done,

Answer 3

Well it depends on where you are and how fancy you want to get. I'm in S.E. Wisconsin and you can do a fairly nice wedding for under $10K. That figures in Brides dress, church and clergy, reception hall, food for about 175 guests, (a nice buffet) hors d'oeurves for additional guests not invited to dinner but to the dance following dinner DJ, Photographer.

I'm a wedding photographer so I've been to lots and lots of weddings, (I've seen it all) and I just paid for my daughters wedding about two years ago and we kept it just under 10K and a great time was had by all.

Answer 4

Depends what you want, how many guest your having. I would say with a 100 or 200 guest it would cost you about 1,000 dollars. Not unless you have people helping you out. That would include your dress and his suit . With these times I don't know what people are doing as far as dressing up. Hey ! How about a beach wedding? That would not take too much money..............

Answer 5

down here in ark a wedding does not cost that much a box of shot gun shells, a new tator sack for the brides dress and a hand full of flowers out of the old tire out fount the house, get the preacher on the porch and move the dog out of the way and before you know you and sis are hiched

Answer 6

Depends on how many people you have attending, whether you're having a reception, etc.

It can be anywhere from like $150 (cost of a license and a Justice of the Peace with a couple of witnesses) to tens of thousands of dollars.

Answer 7

Hi, im getting married next year and the first thing you want to do is sort out what you want, how many people you want there, venues, cake, meals,drinks,church,flowers,wedding dress, shoes tiaras, vails and jewelly,bridesmaid dress,flower girls dress,page boys,gifts,make up and hair trials, djs, cars, photographers. save the date invites,wedding invites,place settings, etc. They say set your self a bugdget, but i found that if i make a cheap one that isnt even really cheap, then nothing would be as ive planned, it so ive set a really high budget lets say in the thouusands as my dress was really expensive, and we have a big family. So it really is up to you and weather you want a big wedding and if its in a church or etc.

Answer 8

Depends on how big of a wedding you want. Some people spend $100,000. Its not a good thing to go into a marriage with debt though.

Answer 9

As much as you want it to! There are some basic costs for the paperwork you have to pay, but as for the rest, can be apittance or a fortune, in my opinion, its best to do it on a budget and spend the dosh on a good holiday or as a deposit on the first home
