I’m trying to plan for a wedding and I’m curious how many guests did you have and what’s the range/ballpark of the total wedding cost? Weddings during the pandemic would be good comparative data points! Thank you!

Planning mine right now and I’m looking at about 14-15k for 50 guests (venue for both ceremony and reception, food, dj, photographer, including service charge and tax). The venue is a restaurant so they take care of most of the things like linen, chairs, cake (for extra cost) and small decorative items.

Norther Virginia!

Pre covid, 27 guests and 7k, nice restaurant with a view, drinks outside over the lake then dinner and our own spotify Playlist

We had about 50 guests and spent around $25k. More than half of it was fixed cost (venue, photographer, florist, DJ, etc), same cost regardless of headcount. We were thinking 100 guests originally but reduced headcount due to Covid. Would probably spend less on the fixed cost items if we knew better

That makes me feel good cause i live in HCOL too!

Paid for 120heads $22k

Wedding was in Jax Florida. Went to all inclusive package so less planning on my end . Included food, Dj, florist, wedding planner, photographer and yes it was during the pandemic. About 100 people showed up

Planning mine - 120 people, around 45K

Pre-Covid; mine was 45 ppl and cost around 10k. Bulk of money went to honeymoon

F - please also include your location. Wedding costs vary greatly across the country

160 people, all in cost was around 30k

Guests? 4. Costs ? Marriage license and makeup

Currently planning ours - expecting ~80 people and our all in predicted expense is ~43k (ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, attire, wedding bands, etc.) for the suburbs of Chicago.

Did ours for $12K, 35 people including cost of the dress, housing for both families, and flights for myself and my wife. DIY is the way to go. Did it in a huge backyard Airbnb in Asheville NC with Mountain Views. Biggest costs were the photographer and the sit down dinner/drinks at a nice restaurant. Best friend officiated.

OP you need to give the city of your wedding. Wedding costs range drastically even between HCOL cities.

3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
