How much should I budget?


Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am due to marry in feb2009 I am just trying to work out roughly how much this is going to cost so can add to budget. Basically I have 20 guests, I am on the 4pm slot for wedding. I have booked royal package, In addition I would like:

1 bridesmaids bouqet,

I am bringing own flowergirl baskets and petals,

I need 2 further buttonholes for ushers,

I would like chair covers and a blue sash for my guests.

I would also like the aisle runner.

I have 45 minutes of photography included but would like that to be a further hour and then I would like an hour of pics at the reception.

I would like all pics on a cd and would like roughly 50 for an album.

I am having the free meal at mammee bay

I would then like the seagrape with dj, decorated tables and chairs (no food thou)

I also would like the videographer for 1 hour during the ceremony.

 

 

A question I also have is, I am there from 27th jan till 10th March, we get married the 2nd, How long do you wait forpics, will I be able to take them with me or do I have to wait for them to be sent? I am having a reception when I get home so would love them for that. I also need the dvd for then as playing it to our guests.

 

Sorry its a long one but if anyone can help pleaseeeee it will be much appreciated. I am getting so nervous I have 5 months yet.

I can't help you with all the prices but can give you a rough estimate for some stuff.

 

- My bouquet was roses and orchids. It was $110. My bridesmaid's bouquet was a smaller version of mine, $65. Boutenieres were single roses, $10 each.

- Chair covers, I didn't have them but have heard of them costing between $12-$15/chair. So for 20 people that would be $240-$300

- Aisle runner $40ish

 

Sorry I can't help with photography, videography or seagrape as we didn't look into these options.

 

Honestly, I recommend booking the free package and paying for the upgrades you want. That will give you some extra money to play around with for stuff you really want like the reception!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
