What’s the average cost of a wedding?

29 Mar, 2010  Average Cost Of Wedding

I want to get married in Lake Arrowhead, CA. There’s a place I have in mind. It’s all-inclusive, and it’s going to be less than $11k for the whole wedding.

Does anyone know the average cost of a wedding in Southern California?
I’m sorry, I meant the wedding itself, not the dress and accessories. This place includes the following:

Wedding Coordinator
Photographer
food and beverages
minister
DJ-music for both ceremony and reception
One wedding night’s stay for bride and groom
Flowers for wedding party, mothers and fathers too
flowers for centerpieces and on gazebo and cake tables, etc.
cake
champange toast

I’m not sure if I missed anything… Oh and for 100 people.

My wedding (just last year) cost $15,000 for 150 people. This included everything but the honeymoon. For just the items you listed, I spent about $13,500. If you’re only spending $11,000 for an all-inclusive package, then you got a pretty good deal. Plus it’s nice that you don’t have to shop for different vendors (photographer, DJ, etc). Good luck and best wishes.

    Look into spending more than 30,000.
    My wedding was about 50,000

    Is your 11k included attire and all the other costs (favors, invites?)….I agree with the above, 30k is the normal price of a wedding depending on your tastes.

    I would say about $100 per person before music, flowers, video and photographer.

    For 100 people I would say just under $15,000.

    The average wedding costs between $20-25000 but that includes everything!!!! So if you are spending $11,000 on part of it then you sound like you are within average. But what is important is what is your budget? We had $15,000 and had an amazing wedding but I had to do a little shopping around. Best of luck!

    I’m getting married in NJ, in May. We are having the ceremony and reception in the same place (all inclusive). I am a wedding florist, so I’m doing the flowers myself. I’m also a dealer for the major invitation printing co.’s so I got a MAJOR discount on all my printing. I made the programs myself, along with rice bags, favor labels, etc (I really enjoy being creative). We are looking at final costs being about $25,000 (+/-). There are definately other ways that we could have cut costs, but this is something we can afford. We have acquired no dept (credit card or otherwise) while planning the wedding, and no one has have given us any money nor have we asked for it. If our situation was different, I would have spent a lot less money, chosen a different location, etc. I don’t understand why people plan things they can’t afford just to put on a show for their guests.
