I've gotten all the prices now for the wedding costs and am just not sure what works out cheaper. There is a charge for EVERYTHING! This is a really personal question and I appologize if it is out of line but what was your budget? You can PM me if you want

I was happy I customized our day. It worked out to be less expensive than modifying a package. That way we only payed for what we wanted and not to change what they offered, kwim? I was also a pretty laid back bride and don't think we went too crazy with things like decor or even food. We just wanted to have a relaxing, fun night with our closest friends and family. We didn't have any budget in mind and kind of just figured it cost what it cost for what we wanted. I honestly don't remember what it cost just for the wedding, but it wasn't too crazy (and I remember my hubby being so happy it didn't cost and arm and a leg lol). I did bring a lot of things down with us and we didn't have a dj or add any additional cake other than what was included. Those things saved us alot.

Great review. Thanks!

[MayanLily]

Thanks Kelly! That's really helpful advice. What kind of stuff did you bring down with you? I'm also pretty laid back. I am not interested in upgrading to fancy cakes or really even care about the flowers. I figure the standard stuff will probably be pretty great. Did you just bring speakers and an ipod for the dance?
