    I live in Columbus and am planning my wedding now! Working to stay between $5,000-$6,000. I found it helpful to use college students/recent graduates for photos and music! My university had a really nice music and arts program and students are always looking for experience to add to their resume/portfolio!

    Oh my gosh your husband is so sweet 😭💜😂 These are really really good suggestions, thanks so much for this video! My boyfriend and I are little babies (we will be 20 and 21 when we get married) so we would much rather put our money into a down payment for an apartment, grocery money, savings, etc. Ofc it's gonna be a special day, but there are just better ways to put that money into our future. We'll definitely use some of these!

  • @allisonmurphy6474

    We were lucky to find a venue that caters and does open bar. We limited our guest list to around 100 people to keep cost down. But for $70 a person we can get dinner, open bar for 4 hours for each person, a champagne toast, and a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres. Then it’s $750 to rent the space for our ceremony and reception. It just worked the best for us because everything is included right there and it’s a hotel and casino so all of our guests from out of town can be close as well. The bride and groom also get a complimentary room the night of the wedding.

    If you have a garden anyway, consider growing straw flowers. They look as good dried as they do fresh, and they come in a wild assortment of colors, to match any wedding. Sola flowers, too, are pretty cheap and can be sold afterwards.

    For us it was important to have a videographer to re-live that day again. Vs just a photographer although we hired a photographer and she only cost us $1,200 and she has amazing work! I feel I found me a gem. But our videographer cost us $2,500 and her prices went up to $3,000. I love her videos she has movie/cinematic style. Since we booked her I notice she’ been posting a lot of beautiful weddings and I can’t wait for her to record ours! 🥰
