What does a wedding cost?

We meet with so many brides that aren’t sure about their budget – and ask “What does a wedding cost?” Well, that question has more answers than there are days in a year! How much a wedding costs depends on the bride's vision for the wedding. Is décor most important, or is great food your passion? Will you have a large social event or an intimate gathering? One thing holds constant - the reception is where most of your wedding dollars will go – taking an average of 56% of your wedding budget. Deciding what you want to spend is the best way to stay on track and really keep your pocketbook in line with your "dreams". Don’t be afraid to share your budget with your vendors. If your vision is drastically out of line with your budget, they will bring you back to reality while helping you figure out what you can afford. At Shenanigans Weddings and Events, we strive to maximize each dollar spent in order to achieve the fairy tale each bride deserves.
