I'm in the beginning stages of planning a destination wedding in Jackson Hole for summer 2015. Anticipating about 50 people and we're budgeting $30k for:
Welcome dinner
Outdoor ceremony with Teton views
Reception (cocktail hour/passed hors d'oeuvres, followed by buffet or plated dinner, hosted bar, cake)
DJ? We might just create a playlist and let the iPod do the work since it's a small party
Photographer
Flowers/decor (hopefully can keep this to a minimum with a nice venue)
Gifts for parents, attendants
Wedding dress (will keep it simple, don't want to blow budget on this)
Hair/makeup
I'd be curious to hear what other people have spent on their wedding in Jackson Hole. Is having a nice small wedding doable on this budget? I want to be able to treat all those who travel to our wedding with a nice reception (good food and good alcohol!). Would love a reality check on this.
