Does anyone have a fairly small budget operating with? We have a pretty small budget to work with so we are cutting a lot of items and will probably DIY a lot of them too in order to make things work. It pays to know people as well. I DJ as a second job so my boss is providing me with a huge discount on that, we have a friend who is an ordained minister (neither of us is particularly religious), I plan on having non floral decor as much as possible. I don't plan on having a videographer, mostly the big things will be the food/bev and photography. Anyone done a wedding in this area for around 125 people with less than $10k? I kinda figured it would be tough but FI and I are having some sticker shock. I told him about some of the prices and he didn't believe me! I had him call up a friend in the printing business who sent us to her link for wedding invitations. He about had a fit - even for the lowest of the low-end listed!
