BUDGET HELP COST OF RECEPTION?

JOESBRIDECHARLESTON

SO I AM IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF PLANNING MY WEDDING AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET A CLEAR IDEA OF HOW MUCH A WEDDING RECEPTION WOULD COST FOR ABOUT 25 PEOPLE INCLUDING FOOD DECOR AND A BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED TENT, DOES ANYONE HAVE A RANGE? ALSO HAS ANYONE USED DUVEL CATERING IN CHARLESTON SC?

Wow. That would depend on where you get the food from and whether it's a sit down dinner or buffet and a million other factors... Do you want full bar? Just pulling a random number out of my head, I'd say you could get by on $3,000-7,000... maybe less if you scale back on decor, etc.

thanks!  I'm hoping to stick in that 3000 range, I was thinking cutting back on the bar and serving wine and maybe a signiture drink
