Episode 5 - Creating a (Rough) Wedding Budget

38 minutes

What goes into the wedding budget? How accurate are the averages you see? Why does everything cost so much money? Steven and Chris attempt to answer all of this and more when they discuss the dreadful wedding budget. Settling on a realistic number and being honest about what you can and can't afford has so many downstream effects on the wedding planning process that its helpful to take a step back and be as thorough as you can.

Topics Discussed:

"Averages" will probably not be realistic for your wedding so don't just assume that's what your cost will be. Probably will be more.

What items go into your budget? What are you going to prioritize?

Fixed costs vs variable costs?

Do not forget taxes, service fees, and gratuity!

Need 30-40% of the budget as cash on hand for deposits.
