Default Re: Ceremony and reception location

I have 3 different wedding experiences and here is the cost for each. My first wedding was at a church that was free to members and the reception hall was 150.00. This did not include anything other than the use of the building and kitchen.

My 2nd marriage was a destination wedding. The entire wedding weekend(Memorial Weekend) was approx. $5000.00. That is for Chapel,(including service, flowers, decorations, music, photography, carriage ride after service, reception at the country club, with light luncheon, wedding cake & the works, toasting glasses, dressing room for bride and potrait of the wedding chapel) and 75% of the total cost for accomondations at a log cabin lodge and 3 cabins in the mountains for 46 attendants and guests.

My 3rd example is my sons wedding coming up in July. Members in the church so there is no cost there and the reception hall is $80.00.(This is the same hall that I paid $150.00 to use for my first wedding. Ex-husband is now a member of that club and he can rent it for $80.00.

Now I don't know if this helps, as each wedding senerio is a different situation.
Best of luck!
