Wedding Forum - Whats your budget and have you stuck to it? official thread - Page 6 Of 6 | UKbride

OK! So we thought our budget would be £10,000 but its ended up been £13,000! We did add a videographer for £800 which i thought was necessary half way through planning! We could have had a much smaller do and done it for half, but its going to be a beautiful day :) and YOLO!! hopefully lol xx

Ours was £20000 for a UK wedding. Now its abroad it is about £12000 but that includes the honeymoon.

So our original budget was £5k quickly pricing up things we are around £7.5k but we are getting a weeks holiday too as we are marrying in cyprus. Dont think it will rise anymore as we are in the final stages of planning.

We're looking at £5,000, max, that said if OH had his way we'd have two witnesses in the registry office on a Wednesday afternoon straight after work...

No one is helping with the costs, and we prioritised house over wedding, so we're going to be very strict about things. I want a nice ceremony with some nice photos to remember it by, but think fish and chips rather than fine dining.

Mine when from£13000 to £6000 and we are now on £12,000. I could spend abit more on favours and hand bag and more lace!

What! That's Extortionate! That's more than my home costs!

We have set it at 11K but planned an extra 2K just in case as a limit. Luckily we have been getting bargains on some things are increased costs in others so hopefully it will balance everything out.

Upon working out, i think we will end up spending around 17k (minus honeymoon). 10k is the venue/food/drinks which is booked.
Don't really want to spend that much but we brought our home in 2017, so all savings can go on our big day now (in 2 years time).

Originally 20k excluding honeymoon. Still in the early stages of planning but I think it'll probably be more like 23k. 120 day guests up to 200 in the evening.

If I had my way we would be low key, 20 guests (immediate family and best friends only) and takeaway at home for the reception - budget would under 2k. But my H2B has a massive family and he wants then all there so we're having a big wedding instead. After all, it's his best too!
