Well, my fiance and I are looking into the cost of a wedding at the moment, and the best very rough total we have come up with so far, would be approx €15,000 for 80 guests, 55e per head for meal, drinks reception & canapes on arrival, a round for everyone for the toast, couple of bottles of wine per table,tea & sandwiches served in the evening, civil ceremony in the venue - €500-suprisingly dear - accommodation fo bride & groom,and probably my dress! think with honeymoon, rings, bridesmaid dress and suits for groomsmen, would be looking at €20,000 and thats being quite careful with the money. personally couldnt justify spending more than that - even €20,000 for a party sounds insane, but we're broke so it all sounds mad at the moment!! As other people have said, it'll cost what you are prepared to pay, but a basic reception for 80 ppl, not too many frills,costs aprox 7 - 8,ooo so you can imagine how the other stuff ads up on top of that.
I did 115 people 2 years ago, and I think it cost around €8k.
Very reasonable hotel.
Where was this hotel and also what did you get for this amount?
We're planning our wedding this year...approx 120 for day & 30 evening.. so far the total estimated cost is about €15000..
menu per head - €39
corkage - €5.50 a btl (getting wine in asda etc)
cake - marks & spencer (1 tier) and chocolate cake in bakery
no cars - asking friends to drive us as their gift
band - 2000 but this includes church music, evening and dj
invites & stamps- € 140 - get invites in US -far cheaper
dresses - poss to get dresses in US - 1/2 the price of here & free shipping
shoes - next €37
evening food - 5.50 a head
flowers - check with priest who normally does the church flowers or if there is a wedding the day before...
Photographers - have a laptop at the reception for guests to upload their photos to so that you have a copy of theirs - many budding photographers at weddings
hotels usually give bride & groom nite free & 1st anniversary wkend free too. shop around!!! this is not the year for hotels to be pickyalso rather than getting gifts on day from ur friends suggest ways they can contribute...eg baking cakes, chauffering you, taking photos.
Good luck and most importantly enjoy the day!!
Thanks for everyones input, its crazy money isn't it. Have been looking around alright most hotels are charging 55e per person for meal an all. I think we should probably budget for 20k and see how we go
Hi AMMS
