A1 - Come on mate! I can maybe [try] see your point of view, but wrong thread. Plus your tone doesn’t resonate as advice.
OP - Bro, you could have just ignored A1 incendiary remarks! Maybe they were just preparing you for nosy extended family members! /s
Good luck in your search and don’t forget to negotiate! My hubs and I got married in the super expensive Bay Area but he tried to keep costs as low as possible by coaching me to not show too much emotion when I really liked something and him expertly sending bids from different vendors to each other to get price matching from lower cost options which helped us get what we really wanted at more reasonable prices
Also your thing on the halal food, some venues will allow the outside caterer if it’s because of dietary restrictions/preferences and then charge a lower rate for the cutlery/soda service. That number they tell you for this per person is also negotiable!
What happened to simple nikaahs and umrah. Lolol
It was a joke. Everybody too uptight
Wedding and related events can cost 25-50% more than your budget if you’re unwilling (or unable) to offend people -- i.e. by limiting the guest list or not picking the venue of their choice.
Check out some fancy restaurants (halal) that offer private events. That is an option worth exploring.

Good luck and congrats on your upcoming wedding, inshAllah.
Thanks knot is where I have been poking around but sadly any venues I like are not in Urban centers and that makes hala catering so hard and Impossible and as much as I d like I think people will the call the wedding off lol if I suggested vegetarian option for a desi Muslim wedding lol
