Probably around $900 - $1,000 per person for a destination wedding but with what they need to pay for flights, rental cars, accommodations for the days we aren’t providing (we are providing 2 nights), and meals that we aren’t providing it’s less than what our guests will pay to attend the wedding.

Depends on where you live - my venue is 140 a head outside of NYC for the food and open bar, doesn’t include extras / upgraded liquor but includes cake

Our numbers are very similar but I’m in LA.

$250 for meal and alcohol at venue, does not include cake, photographer, add ons, DJ etc.

Just food (venue comes with catering): around ~$210. Whole budget / number of guest: ~$550

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Any recommendations for good videographers in NYC/Tri-State? A lot of the affordable ones I find make the cheesiest videos. I’ve certainly found some good ones but very expensive.
