My fiancé and I just got engaged! We are planning a wedding in St Louis, Missouri this coming June 2016. I really don't know where to start with the planning. Is it realistic to set our budget at $15,000 with 100-150 guests for the reception?? We are planning it out of state, but his family lives there. The only time we will be there is this coming December and a month before the wedding. I didn't realize that venues are so pricey! One venue had a price of $5,000 with a food and beverage minimum at $10,000. I thought that was too much! Do you guys have any advice on how to have our wedding within our budget???
Thanks!
