Planning an affordable wedding starts with assembling a budget.

Here’s an example of how a wedding budget of $13,000 for 100 attendees might work for you.

  • Wedding Venue $4,200 with all fees
  • Caterer or BBQ service $4,000
  • Photographer for 4 hours $1,500
  • DJ for music and announcements for 5 hours $1,550
  • Beer, wine and beverage BYOB $500
  • Dinnerware, linens, rentals $600
  • Floral and Decorations $500
  • Dress (sample sale, off the rack, or rental) $500

You can decide that you want to spend more on any of these items but having a budget and reviewing affordable vendors can really help.

In addition to our vendor list, here’s some wedding budgeting tips from professional planners:

  • Think about inviting fewer people and making your wedding more intimate.
  • Consider a BBQ service or a family owned restaurant for your reception. This can save up to $15 a person.
  • Hire a photographer on an hourly basis and supplement with photos and videos by those attending the wedding.
  • Hire a DJ for 4 or 5 hours versus a full day and go with one of their existing play lists or create your own.
  • Buy bulk flowers from a flower farm, have family assemble the arrangements and purchase the bridal bouquet separately. We have several local flower farms to choose from!
  • Buy all of your beverages at big box stores.
  • A last-season or rental wedding dress can save money. Also consider the groom wearing his own suit or a rental for the wedding.
