Hi - this message board has soooo many helpful posts, that I thought some of you could help me with our biggest question right now.... we just decided to get married in Oahu, HI, and now starting to take a look at venues, though still need to define a budget.
We're planning our wedding around May/June 2011, with around 75 guests (coming from South America to Europe). We fell in love with Lanikuhonua and would love to have our ceremony & reception there.
If you had/will have your wedding there, would you mind sharing your budget and what you expect to pay or paid for Lanikuhonua's site rental, as well as other main costs (i.e. rentals, catering, photography, video, DJ, flowers, any other I'm missing?)
I know this may vary with each couple, but at this point I wanted to have a ballpark of how much it would cost for us to have a wedding there and determine a real budget or do some cut downs in our dream place....
Thaaanks!
PS: any other cost-saving tips would be highly appreciated as well!
